User interface for web comments
One or more server devices receive a request associated with a link, where the link is further associated with a comment and where the comment provides an opinion of, or remarks upon, a content of a document. The one or more server devices retrieve a content of the comment associated with the link from a database and retrieve the document. The one or more server devices generate another document that displays the content of the comment and includes a frame that further displays the document, and send the generated another document to the client device.
1. A method performed by one or more server devices, the method comprises:
storing, by a processor associated with the one or more server devices, a plurality of comments at a respective plurality of locations in a memory;
receiving, from a client device and by a processor associated with the one or more server devices, a request including information identifying a location of the respective plurality of locations;
retrieving, by a processor associated with the one or more server devices, content of a comment, of the plurality of comments, stored at the location identified in the request, the comment relating to content of a first document;
identifying, by a processor associated with the one or more server devices, an identifier associated with the first document;
generating, by a processor associated with the one or more server devices, a second document that includes:
the content of the comment, and
a frame associated with the first document; and
sending, by a processor associated with the one or more server devices, the second document to the client device,
the second document, when rendered by the client device, causing the client device to populate the frame with the content of the first document based on the identifier.
2. The method of claim 1 , where retrieving the content of the comment comprises:
searching, based on the request, an index to identify the location; and
retrieving the content of the comment from the location.
3. The method of claim 1 , where the frame comprises a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) iframe.
4. A server device, comprising:
one or more processors to:
store a comment at a location in a memory, the comment relating to content of a first document associated with a first uniform resource locator (URL), the location being associated with a second URL;
receive, from a client device, a request, associated with the second URL, to access content associated with the comment;
retrieve, based on the second URL, the content of the comment;
determine, based on the content of the comment, the first URL associated with the first document;
generate a second document that includes the content of the comment and a frame associated with the first document; and
send the second document to the client device,
the second document, when rendered by the client device, causing the client device to dynamically populate the frame with the content of the first document based on the first URL.
5. The server device of claim 4 , where the frame comprises a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) iframe.
6. The server device of claim 4 , where, when retrieving the content of the comment, the one or more processors are further to:
search, based on the second URL, an index to identify the location; and
retrieve the content of the comment from the second URL.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions, the instructions comprising:
one or more instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to:
store a comment at a location in a memory, the comment relating to content of a first document associated with a first uniform resource locator (URL), the location being associated with a second URL;
receive a request, associated with the second URL, to access content associated with the comment;
retrieve, based on the second URL, the content of the comment;
determine, based on the content of the comment, the first URL associated with the first document;
generate a second document that includes the content of the comment and a frame associated with the first document; and
send the second document to the client device;
the second document, when rendered by the client device, causing the client device to dynamically populate the frame with the content of the first document based on the first URL.
8. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , where the flame comprises a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) iframe.
9. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 7 , where the instructions further comprise:
one or more instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to search, based on the second URL, an index of the memory to identify the location.
