Patent ID: 8443299

Claim:
A computer-implemented method, comprising: detecting a selection of input focus on an interactive data input field presented on a display device, wherein input focus on the interactive data input field indicates that the interactive data input field is designated as a target for input received through a user interface of the display device; receiving, through the user interface, input directed to the interactive data input field when the interactive data input field has input focus; providing, by operation of a computer, the input to a hidden input buffer instead of to the interactive data input field, where providing the input to the hidden input buffer includes interpreting the input received through the user interface; copying, by operation of a computer, content of the hidden input buffer to the interactive data input field in response to providing the input to the hidden input buffer, wherein the content in the hidden input buffer includes the input provided to the hidden input buffer and copying content of the hidden input buffer to the interactive data input field includes copying the interpreted input, wherein copying includes copying a character in a current position for the hidden input buffer to a current position for the interactive data input field; and updating, by operation of a computer, the presentation of the interactive data input field on the display device to include the copied contents.
