Why Websites Can Change Without Warning Why Websites Can Change Without Warning WHY WOULD MY WEBSITE LOOK DIFFERENT WITHOUT NOTICE? HISTORY: Your website is a series of files & databases. Websites used to be “static” because ​ there were only a few ways to view them. Now we have a complex system, and telling your webmaster what device, operating system and browser is crucial, here’s why: TERMINOLOGY: You have a desktop or mobile “device”. Desktop computers and mobile ​ ​ ​ devices have “operating systems” which are software. To see your website, you’ll pull up a ​ ​ ​ ​ “browser” which is also software, to surf the Internet. Your website is a series of files that ​ ​ needs to be 100% compatible with all devices, operating systems and browsers. Your website is built on WordPress and gets a weekly check up (sometimes more often) to ​ ​ ​ see if any changes have occured. Your site could also be attacked with bad files, links, spam, comments and other annoying internet pests! Or other components will suddenly need updating which is nothing out of the ordinary. WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE IF SOMETHING HAS CHANGED? Any update to the following can make your website look differently: There are 85 operating ​ systems (OS) that can update (without warning). And any of the most popular roughly 7 ​ ​ ​ browsers also update regularly which can affect your site visually and other ways. (Lists below) ​ Now, with an OS or browser update, your site’s 18 website components likely will need ​ ​ updating too. Once website updates are implemented, there are currently about 21 mobile ​ devices, and 141 desktop devices that need to be viewed for compatibility. (Lists below) ​ ​ ​ A website in need of even 1 update, could look odd on the front end. Regular things that worked only moments earlier, could break. We’ve seen portions of the site duplicate itself, look cut-off or stop working. Some updates are visible on the backend only. Even the biggests sites with a 24/7 webmaster support team have issues. HOW LONG TO FIX: While we could, we never allow “automatic” updates to any components. Best webmaster practices have us manually backing up your website before changes are made. We normally check weekly and sometimes more often. When updates are needed to your website, it can take from a moment, to a week or more to fix. LISTS: 2018 Components Affecting Your Website Including but not limited to these: SAMPLES OF WEBSITE SOFTWARE BROWSERS, OPERATING SYSTEMS, AND DEVICES: Website Software Browsers Operating Systems: Device Examples ● Wix ● Internet Explorer ● High Sierra ● Dell XPS 27 ● WordPress ● Google Chrome ● Microsoft Windows ● iMac 27’ late 2013 ● Squarespace ● Safari Server 2016 ● Apple iPhone Datacenter 6 ________________ ELEMENTS THAT CAN UPDATE AND CHANGE YOUR WEBSITE YOUR WEBSITE MOBILE DESKTOP WHAT OPERATING COMPONENTS HARDWARE HARDWARE SYSTEM (DEVICES) (DEVICES) (SOFTWARE) Wordpress Mobile computers ABS Computer 1 Proprietary Avada Theme Mobile Internet Technologies 1.1 Acorn Avada Child-Theme devices (Parent: Newegg) Computers Tablets/Smartphones Acer 1.2 Amiga Inc.

Created in 1990 by Tim Berners- Lee, the web quickly became the most used hypertext system in the world, and most browsers default to indicating hyperlinks with an underline. To answer the question of why the underline was chosen over competing demarcation techniques, the thesis applies the methods of history of technology and sociology of technology. Before the invention of the web, the underline–also known as the vinculum–was used in many contexts in writing systems; collecting entities together to form a whole and ascribing additional meaning to the content.

  • Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe
    Weblint: Just Another Perl Hack Neil Bowers1 Canon Research Centre Europe Abstract Weblint is a utility for checking the syntax and style of HTML pages. It was inspired by lint [15], which performs a similar function for C and C++ programmers. Weblint does not aspire to be a strict SGML validator, but to provide helpful comments for humans. The importance of quality assurance for web sites is introduced, and one particular area, validation of HTML, is described in more detail. The bulk of the paper is devoted to weblint: what it is, how it is used, and the design and implementation of the current development version. 1. Introduction The conclusion opens with a summary of the information and opinions given in this paper. A Web sites are becoming an increasingly critical part of selection of the lessons learned over the last four years how many companies do business. For many companies is given, followed by plans for the future, and related web sites are their business. It is therefore critical that ideas. owners of web sites perform regular testing and analysis, to ensure quality of service. 2. Web Site Quality Assurance There are many different checks and analyses which The following are some of the questions you should be you can run on a site. For example, how usable is your asking yourself if you have a web presence. I have site when accessed via a modem? An incomplete list of limited the list to those points which are relevant to similar analyses are given at the start of Section 2.

  • LEARNING HTML5 and CSS 1. What Is HTML? Ans: HTML Has Been Derived from SGML, Which Stands for Standard General Markup Language
    LEARNING HTML5 AND CSS 1. What is HTML? Ans: HTML has been derived from SGML, which stands for standard general markup language. HTML was created to allow those users who were not specialized in using SGML to create web pages. 2. What are tags in HTML? Ans: An HTML tag begin with a ‘less than’ symbol(<) and ends with a ‘greater than’ symbol(>). These symbols are also called angle brackets. Syntax:<html> text </html> Start tag End tag The part --<html>is called the opening tag, while the part--- </html> is called the closing tag. The closing tag is same as the opening tag except that it has forward slash before its name. 3. What is the difference between the <body>and <head>tags? Ans: The HEAD section contains the title and the other information about the HTML document. The BODY section contains all the information that is displayed on a web page. 4. How are attributes defined? Ans: An attribute provides additional information about an element. Attributes are usually defined its name-value pairs. The name is the property of the tag that you want to set, while the value is the value of the property to be set. <p align = “left”>This text is left aligned </p> The <p> tag, also knows as the paragraph tag, is used to define a paragraph. Now we can use the attribute align with it to set the alignment of the paragraph. Also, there are three possible values of the align attribute—left, right, and center. 5.Define HTML. What is its use? Ans: HTML stands for hypertext markup language.

  • Annotea: an Open RDF Infrastructure for Shared Web Annotations
    Proceedings of the WWW 10th International Conference, Hong Kong, May 2001. Annotea: An Open RDF Infrastructure for Shared Web Annotations Jos´eKahan,1 Marja-Riitta Koivunen,2 Eric Prud’Hommeaux2 and Ralph R. Swick2 1 W3C INRIA Rhone-Alpes 2 W3C MIT Laboratory for Computer Science {kahan, marja, eric, swick}@w3.org Abstract. Annotea is a Web-based shared annotation system based on a general-purpose open RDF infrastructure, where annotations are modeled as a class of metadata.Annotations are viewed as statements made by an author about a Web doc- ument. Annotations are external to the documents and can be stored in one or more annotation servers.One of the goals of this project has been to re-use as much existing W3C technol- ogy as possible. We have reacheditmostlybycombining RDF with XPointer, XLink, and HTTP. We have also implemented an instance of our system using the Amaya editor/browser and ageneric RDF database, accessible through an Apache HTTP server. In this implementation, the merging of annotations with documents takes place within the client. The paper presents the overall design of Annotea and describes some of the issues we have faced and how we have solved them. 1Introduction One of the basic milestones in the road to a Semantic Web [22] is the as- sociation of metadata to content. Metadata allows the Web to describe properties about some given content, even if the medium of this content does not directly provide the necessary means to do so. For example, ametadata schema for digital photos [15] allows the Web to describe, among other properties, the camera model used to take a photo, shut- ter speed, date, and location.

However, if we or our users identify a blocking functional or cosmetic problem that occurs when using the application with a supported browser, Arena makes efforts to correct the problem on a timely basis. If a problem with a supported browser cannot be corrected in a timely fashion, Arena reclassifies the browser as unsupported until the problem is resolved. Validated browsers are those upon which Arena has executed the validation protocol for the Arena application. The execution record is available to our customers through Arena Validate. Unsupported browsers are those with which an application may or may not work properly. If a functional or serious cosmetic problem occurs when using the application with an unsupported browser, Arena does not make any effort to correct the problem.

  • Argovis: a Web Application for Fast Delivery, Visualization, and Analysis of Argo Data
    MARCH 2020 T U C K E R E T A L . 401 Argovis: A Web Application for Fast Delivery, Visualization, and Analysis of Argo Data TYLER TUCKER Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado, and Department of Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University, San Diego, and Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California DONATA GIGLIO Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, University of Colorado Boulder, Boulder, Colorado MEGAN SCANDERBEG Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, California SAMUEL S. P. SHEN Department of Mathematics and Statistics, San Diego State University, San Diego, California (Manuscript received 18 March 2019, in final form 3 January 2020) ABSTRACT Since the mid-2000s, the Argo oceanographic observational network has provided near-real-time four- dimensional data for the global ocean for the first time in history. Internet (i.e., the ‘‘web’’) applications that handle the more than two million Argo profiles of ocean temperature, salinity, and pressure are an active area of development. This paper introduces a new and efficient interactive Argo data visualization and delivery web application named Argovis that is built on a classic three-tier design consisting of a front end, back end, and database. Together these components allow users to navigate 4D data on a world map of Argo floats, with the option to select a custom region, depth range, and time period. Argovis’s back end sends data to users in a simple format, and the front end quickly renders web-quality figures.
