Shared Browser

Konrad Olszewski
This application allows sharing of arbitrary Web pages. The shared browser works in the master-slave mode, i.e., the slave instances will synchronoze themselves to the master instance. The browser handles correctly pages of arbitrary complexity, including frames, multimedia contants, Java applets, cascading style sheets, and DHTML.

TANGO Interactive shared browser is a true shared browser (beware of cheap imitations!). There is no need to type URLs to share them. A link accessed from the master browser will be automatically accessed by all slave instances.

Master status can be dynamically re-assigned using "Become Master" and "Grant Master" operations in the TANGO Interactive Session Manager. Slave browsers can follow links on their own, but this action is not be shared. After a new page has been accessed in the master browser, all slave instances will be automatically re-synchronized.

Shared browser is useful in many applications. Examples:
