Foil 25 What is Involved in Sharing Web Pages?

From Object Models:Computing - Web Based Education and Training - Collaboration Seminar at Los Alamos -- 31 March 99. by Geoffrey C. Fox
One needs to certainly share the basic page URL but also
  • Entries into forms specifying object to be accessed -- note sharing client side information implies sharing server side objects
  • Scrolled position on page
  • Dynamic HTML including CSS style parameters such as position
  • Mouse and Keyboard actions observed as events
  • selected (highlighted) content
  • internal JavaScript (but this is consequent to external actions i.e. to observed events)
JavaScript in principle allows one to identify relevant DOM components , change the rendering through choice of style attached to each component and so deliver a cross disability shared rendering
