Foil 76 Preview and Review Capabilities

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
The original WebWisdom JavaScript Shared Browser used "self-defining" pages which defined lots of useful information including
  • Thumbnail Image location
  • URL's of Preceding Foils (for student)
  • URL's of Following Foils (for teacher)
JSSB uses heuristics to determine similar information under user control. It looks at page DOM to find Image URL's which look as though they form a sequence such as
  • .../img001.jpg ../img002.jpg
This heuristic works for Family Photos supplied by online photo processors, PowerPoint web export, WebWisdom generated pages etc.
