Foil 75 What is Involved in Sharing Web Pages?

From The Document Object Model - Universal Access - Other Objects - CORBA XML Jini JavaScript etc. Tango Seminar to DoD Modernization MSRC -- April 6 1999. 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
