1 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)
2 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
3 Thus need to find URL (and other properties) by inspecting document object on master page
