Abstract:
1. A computer program product having a non-transitory computer readable medium embodying program code executable by a computing device, said computer program product comprising: code for initializing of a rich internet application (RIA), wherein initializing comprises instantiating, at a computing device accessing the computer readable medium, at least one visible element in said RIA and deferring instantiation of unseen ones of a plurality of stacked elements in said RIA; code for generating, at the computing device, a descriptor tree having a plurality of descriptor nodes, wherein each of said plurality of descriptor nodes describes an instantiated and visible interface element of said RIA; code for creating one or more stacked descriptor nodes in said descriptor tree describing said unseen ones of said plurality of stacked interface elements responsive to a user navigating to said unseen ones, wherein said unseen ones are not instantiated at said initializing; and code for rendering a graphical representation of said plurality of visible interface elements and said unseen ones at a display connected to the computing device, the graphical representation rendered by using the descriptor tree to identify corresponding ones of: said plurality of descriptor nodes; and said one or more stacked descriptor nodes.
