ABSTRACT:
A dynamic summary view is generated by defining an HTML page that links data binding HTML tables and other HTML controls to predetermined data within a storage of data. For each type of data, a parameter is determined which characterizes the predetermined data from the other data within the storage. A control module related to a specific type of data, searches the storage, determines the predetermined data using the parameter and displays the predetermined data via a data binding HTML table within a section of the dynamic summary view. Upon detecting a manipulation request, such as when a user clicks a button of the mouse, the appropriate control module accesses a subset of the program module that created the predetermined data. This is advantageously done without invoking the entire program module. A subset of the program module can be accessed by executing a script to call defined methods of objects within the program module. A subset of the program module also can be accessed by calling a control module defined within the program module. The view is also dynamic in that it is updated to display "live" data by monitoring for trigger events indicating the underlying data has changed and updating the predetermined data accordingly.
