Foil 17 Futures

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


Web pages have a rich set of properties and events inducing (or indicating) their change
  • Current set up is incomplete and different between Netscape and MicroSoft
W3C DOM is gradually defining a more elegant structure but unclear that they have got it right
TangoInteractive with its JavaScript API is one of most serious tests
We can use nonmaster customization to support user dependent rendering and so achieve universal (cross disability) access
  • As a given foil is pulled down by teacher, one visually handicapped student gets audio version, while somebody stuck on a low bandwidth network gets the low resolution version
  • Quite interesting to support multiple views of same page/event on a single machine
