Abstract

A system is programmed to execute a method that includes loading a cascaded style sheet (CSS) file for a web document into a memory of a computer system and appending a selector to a rule of the loaded CSS file to be applied to a selected document object management (DOM) element.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

loading a cascaded style sheet (CSS) file for a web document into a memory of a computer system; and

appending a selector to a rule of the loaded CSS file to be applied to a selected document object management (DOM) element.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the selector comprises a unique ID appended as a prefix to the rule.

3. The method of claim 2 wherein the unique ID is appended to multiple rules and only applies to such multiple rules.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the selector comprises at least one of widget IDs, class selectors, attribute selectors, and media queries.

5. The method of claim 4 wherein the widget comprises an object to attach to DOM elements.

6. The method of claim 1 and further comprising adding a link tag dynamically during run time of the rule.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein the DOM element is a footer of the web document.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein the DOM element further comprises a header of the web document.

9. The method of claim 1 wherein the DOM element is a button.

10. The method of claim 1 wherein the CSS file is dynamically loaded responsive to a request, the CSS rules are parsed, and the selector comprises a unique ID added as a prefix.

11. A machine readable storage device having instructions for execution by a processor of the machine to perform operations comprising:

loading a cascaded style sheet (CSS) file for a web document into a memory of the machine; and

appending a selector to a rule of the loaded CSS file to be applied to a selected document object management (DOM) element.

12. The storage device of claim 11 wherein the selector comprises a unique ID appended as a prefix to the rule.

13. The storage device of claim 12 wherein the unique ID is an ID of an object to attach to DOM elements.

14. The storage device of claim 11 wherein the instructions cause the machine to add a link tag dynamically during run time of the rule.

15. The storage device of claim 11 wherein the DOM element is a button.

16. The storage device of claim 11 wherein the CSS file is dynamically loaded by the processor responsive to a request, the CSS rules are parsed, and the unique ID is added as a prefix.

17. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory device coupled to the processor and having a program stored thereon for execution by the processor to;

dynamically load a cascading style sheet (CSS) set of rules for a web document;

identify a document object management (DOM) element selector appended to a rule in the set of rules; and

apply the rule to only the DOM element identified by the selector to render the web document.

18. The system of claim 17 wherein the selector comprises a unique ID appended as a prefix to the rule.

19. The system of claim 17 wherein the DOM element is a header or a footer of the web document.

20. The system of claim 17 wherein the CSS file is dynamically loaded by the processor responsive to a request, the CSS rules are parsed, and selector comprise a unique ID that is a prefix to the rule.
