Instant Features

Absolute HTML Rendering

The instant methodology renders the HTML tags in absolute terms. Rendering the HTML tags in absolute terms prevents indentation problems when trying to add or change elements or style sheets such as GUI elements, host windows and different fonts. In this version, each tag is rendered with corresponding top/left attributes which places the tag in the browser, in an exact position. The main advantage of this approach is that changing/adding tags/style sheets doesn't affect the neighboring tags of the modified tag. In addition, rendering in absolute terms saves the need to render empty spaces and only the relevant fields with content are rendered and not the entire screen. This significantly improves bandwidth performance since the HTML is much smaller.

Instant Rendering API

The instant component opens the instant solution as an API. It provides you the abilities to register as many transformations (which are standard code classes) as you require. These transformations can manipulate the HTML output by adding, removing, replacing and changing the screen tag model using a rich library of tags and an easy-to-use API.
