METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING AND USING STYLE ATTRIBUTES OF WEB CONTENT

1 . A method, comprising:

receiving, at a computing device, an indication of a document corresponding to a web page;

determining, at the computing device, one or more style attributes associated with the web page, wherein said determining includes:

causing a document object model to be produced based on the document corresponding to the web page; and

analyzing the document object model; and

generating, by the computing device, one or more style attribute values corresponding to the one or more style attributes.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said determining one or more style attributes includes:

determining at least one of text color, text font, text size, or background color.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said determining one or more style attributes includes:

determining a plurality of style attributes.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein said generating the one or more style attribute values includes:

generating one or more color-related style attribute values; and

ordering the color-related style attribute values based on quantity of color occurrence.

5 . The method of claim 4 , further comprising:

determining, by the computer system, a set of one or more default color-related style attribute values based on said ordering the color-related style attribute values.

6 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication of the document is a universal resource identifier corresponding to a hypertext markup language document.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

comparing the generated one or more style attribute values with data indicating allowed style attribute values for the web page; and

identifying one or more elements of the web page that are non-compliant with the allowed style attribute values.

8 . An article of manufacture including a computer-readable memory medium having stored thereon instructions that, in response to execution by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform operations comprising:

receiving an indication of a web page;

determining a plurality of style attributes associated with the web page; and

generating one or more style attribute values corresponding to the plurality of style attributes.

9 . The article of manufacture of claim 8 , wherein said determining includes:

causing a document object model to be produced based on the web page; and

analyzing the document object model.

10 . The article of manufacture of claim 8 , wherein said determining the plurality of style attributes includes:

determining at least one of line spacing, character padding, border, or margin.

11 . The article of manufacture of claim 8 , wherein said generating the one or more style attribute values includes:

generating a graphic representation of one or more font-related style attribute values that are representative of one or more font-related style attributes.

12 . The article of manufacture of claim 11 , wherein the generating the graphic representation includes ordering the font-related style attribute values based on quantity of character occurrence.

13 . The article of manufacture of claim 12 , wherein the operations further comprise:

determining a set of one or more default font-related style attribute values based on said ordering of the font-related style attribute values.

14 . The article of manufacture of claim 8 , wherein the operations further comprise:

comparing the generated one or more style attribute values with data indicating allowed style attribute values for the web page; and

identifying one or more elements of the web page that are non-compliant with the allowed style attribute values.

15 . A system, comprising:

a computer comprising:

one or more processors;

memory, coupled to the one more processors, storing program instructions executable to cause the computer to:

receive an indication of a web page;

determine a plurality of style attributes associated with the web page; and

generate one or more style attribute values indicative of the plurality of style attributes.

16 . The system of claim 15 , wherein determining the plurality of style attributes includes:

causing a document object model to be produced based on the document corresponding to the web page; and

analyzing the document object model.

17 . The system of claim 15 , wherein generating the one or more style attribute values includes:

determining a first set of style attribute values corresponding to a first set of text on the web page; and

determining a second set of style attribute values corresponding to a second set of text on the web page, wherein the second set of style attribute values is different from the first set of style attribute values.

18 . The system of claim 17 ,

wherein the first set of text corresponds to an unvisited link; and

wherein the second set of text corresponds to a visited link.

19 . The system of claim 17 ,

wherein the first set of text corresponds to body text; and

wherein the second set of text corresponds to heading text.

20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein the program instructions are further executable to cause the computer to:

compare the generated one or more style attribute values with data indicating allowed style attribute values for the web page; and

identify one or more elements of the web page that are non-compliant with the allowed style attribute values.
