Foil 14 Use of Events in JSSB

From Architecture and Implementation of JavaScript Shared Browser Tango Group Seminar -- 26 March 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 All major events are generated from minor events
  • Directly if minor event specifies a new URL
  • Indirectly if minor event specifies a form or URL click
  • Need heuristic in "general pages" to link major events to minor events
2 Minor events are sent by master via Tango to nonmasters
3 Minor events are NOT immediately processed in nonmaster but rather queued
  • otherwise events such as "set form text field" must be thrown away if page not ready to receive
4 Queues processed in two ways
  • WebWisdom minor events are queued in JSSB but processed in WebWisdom page that uses them
  • Other minor events are processed in order by JSSB in same loop that inspects page URL's
