•CBS Limit Extrapolation Calculator was developed to facilitate evaluation of 9 formulas for CBS limit values.•Calculator can be run in any JavaScript enabled web browser pointed to ...http://sf.anu.edu.au/∼vvv900/cbs.
Calculation of the asymptotic convergence of energies and other properties to their complete basis set (CBS) limit in Quantum Chemistry may be tedious, so a CBS Limit Extrapolation Calculator was developed to perform this task. Currently it implements 9 different extrapolation expressions and it was written in a JavaScript programming language. Calculator is implemented as a Dynamic HTML (DHTML) page, with the JavaScript handling input, its validation, numerical calculations as well as plotting using the Google Chart library.
Last decade observed the exponential growth of World Wide Web (WWW) due to the growing trend of migration of each & every information on the web. In order to design the User Interface (UI) of web ...based application, a number of frameworks are used such as Bootstrap, WordPress, and Joomla etc. But sometimes the use of Dynamic HyperText Markup Language (DHTML) to design from scratch is preferred over frameworks. In this paper, research was carried out to compare the performance with respect to UI on different parameters of web-portals designed using frameworks viz-a-viz use of DHTML technology. Performance was compared using the tools, GTMetrix and Pingdom. Results can be used to facilitate the decision to select the framework or not, while designing the UI of webpages.

Beginning CSS3 teaches you how to style web pages using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)—the language of web design. Starting from first principles, you'll learn through a series of practical exercises ...how to change the default look of HTML tags, adding color, backgrounds, and borders. The book demystifies core concepts, such as the CSS box model and selectors, giving you the confidence and knowledge to create innovative and flexible page layouts. You'll also learn how to create rounded corners, drop shadows, and gradients without the need for images, using the latest CSS3 techniques.What you'll learnTeaches how to style attractive and flexible web pagesHands-on exercises demonstrate how to combine style rules for different effectsComprehensive coverage of CSS2.1 and stable parts of CSS3Who this book is forBeginning CSS3 is aimed at web designers who want to master the use of Cascading Style Sheets to style and lay out modern web pages. It teaches core concepts, such as the CSS box model and choosing the most appropriate selectors to apply styles efficiently. This makes it an excellent choice for both complete beginners and web designers who want to improve their understanding of CSS.
The rendering mechanism plays an indispensable role in browser-based Web application. It generates active webpages dynamically and provides human-readable layout through template engines, which are ...used as a standard programming model to separate the business logic and data computations from the webpage presentation. The client-side rendering mechanism, owing to the advances of rich application technologies, has been widely adopted. The adoption of client side rendering brings not only various merits but also new problems. In this paper, we propose and construct “pagelet”, a segment-based template engine for developing flexible and extensible Web applications. By presenting principles, practice and usage experience of pagelet, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of possible advantages and disadvantages brought by client-side rendering mechanism from the viewpoints of both developers and end-users.

Web technologies provide the basis to distribute digital information worldwide and in realtime but they have also established the Web as a ubiquitous application platform. The Web evolved from simple ...text data to include advanced layout, images, audio, and recently streaming video. Today, as our digital environment becomes increasingly three-dimensional (e.g. 3D cinema, 3D video, consumer 3D displays, and high-performance 3D processing even in mobile devices) it becomes obvious that we must extend the core Web technologies to support interactive 3D content.
Instead of adapting existing graphics technologies to the Web, XML3D uses a more radical approach: We take today's Web technology and try to find the minimum set of additions that fully support interactive 3D content as an integral part of mixed 2D/3D Web documents.
XML3D enables portable cross-platform authoring, distribution, and rendering of and interaction with 3D data. As a declarative approach XML3D fully leverages existing web technologies including HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), the Document Object Model (DOM), and AJAX for dynamic content. All 3D content is exposed in the DOM, fully supporting DOM scripting and events, thus allowing Web designers to easily apply their existing skills. The design of XML3D is based on modern programmable graphics hardware, e.g. supports efficient mapping to GPUs without maintaining copies. It also leverages a new approach to specify shaders independently of specific rendering techniques or graphics APIs. We demonstrated the feasibility of our approach by integrating XML3D support into two major open browser frameworks from Mozilla and WebKit as well as providing a portable implementation based on JavaScript and WebGL.

Though the Web and those who use it have changed considerably in the last decade, a digital divide between older and younger users persists. Older users still use the Web less than younger users, and ...more commonly experience significant usability issues when they do. With the emergence of Web 2.0 technologies, we have the ability to close that divide and ensure the Web is universally usable for people of all ages. It requires taking what we know of “senior surfer” requirements and applying them to Web 2.0 interfaces. This paper examines the changing nature of the Web, the Senior Web user, and assesses how Web 2.0 technologies can – but do not yet - improve universal access for everyone. Pilot studies support these hypotheses; future studies are planned to further examine these issues.
