Foil 63 JSSB JavaScript Shared Browser I

From Distance Education: How to do it DoD HPC Modernization Users Group Tutorial Monterey California, ACM Java Grande San Francisco, EDMEDIA Seattle -- June 7 99, June 14 99, June 20 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Originally we used in all our teaching WebWisdom which was a specialized JavaScript Shared Browser
  • Master "knew" URL of pages to be shared and sent this to nonmaster
  • Very precise but required preparation of pages adding properties (such as JavaScript variables specifying current and next URL)
Pages used by WebWisdom prepared by Perl program which has been generalized to database
  • This strategy is good where pages prepared dynamically from database but not all pages will have this property
Thus need to find URL (and other properties) by inspecting document object on master page
