  • Spring Form Tag Library
    Spring Form Tag Library The Spring Web MVC framework provides a set of tags in the form of a tag library, which is used to construct views (web pages). The Spring Web MVC integrates Spring's form tag library. Spring's form tag accesses to the command object, and also it refers to the data our Spring controller deals with. A Command object can be defined as a JavaBean that stores user input, usually entered through HTML form is called the Command object. The Spring form tag makes it easier to develop, maintain, and read JSPs. The Spring form tags are used to construct user interface elements such as text and buttons. Spring form tag library has a set of tags such as <form> and <input>. Each form tag provides support for the set of attributes of its corresponding HTML tag counterpart, which allows a developer to develop UI components in JSP or HTML pages. Configuration – spring-form.tld The Spring form tag library comes bundled in spring-webmvc.jar. The spring- form.tld is known as Tag Library Descriptor (tld) file, which is available in a web application and generates HTML tags. The Spring form tag library must be defined at the top of the JSP page. The following directive needs to be added to the top of your JSP pages, in order to use Spring form tags from this library: <%@ taglib prefix="form" uri="http://www.springframework.org/tags/form" %> Here, form is the tag name prefix, which will be used for the tags from this Spring form tag library in JSP pages.

  • Dynamic Forms Guide for Faculty and Staff
    Dynamic Forms User Guide University of Miami Graduate School Dynamic Forms Basics • Basic Definitions: there are two types of form users – Initiator (student): the user who starts a form. – Co-signer (faculty and staff): a user to whom a form is routed, after the initiator has submitted the form. The co-signer may just need to review and sign the form, but in some cases, they might have to complete a section of the form. Forms may have more than one co-signer. • Dynamic Forms uses UM Single Sign-On (SSO) for every form, so there is no need for additional login credentials. For every form, all users must use their official UM email address. Therefore, all forms must be initiated by the student who is making the request and forms can only be signed by the specific co-signers to whom the form is sent (i.e. Graduate Program Directors, Associate Deans of Graduate Education, Advisors and Committee Members). • Co-signers will receive an email notification from [email protected] whenever they need to sign a form. Therefore, this email address should be added to co-signers’ safe senders’ lists to ensure the notification email does not land in junk/spam/clutter folders. To visit Dynamic Forms for any other reason, click here to go to the home page. • Signatures will appear as a timestamp with the user’s printed name and the date and time of signature. • Users will only be able to write or click on the section of the form they are allowed to fill out.

  • Lady Gaga Fails to Obtain Transfer of 'Fan Site' Domain Name International
    Lady Gaga fails to obtain transfer of ‘fan site’ domain name Cybersquatting International - Hogan Lovells November 09 2011 In Germanotta v oranges arecool XD (Claim No FA1108001403808), singer Stefani Germanotta, known as Lady Gaga, has lost her bid to gain control of the domain name ‘ladygaga.org’ on the basis that it was pointing towards a non-commercial fan website. The case was brought under the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP) and filed with the National Arbitration Forum (NAF), based in Minneapolis, United States. The respondent was listed as oranges arecool XD. To be successful in a UDRP procedure, a complainant must evidence that: l the domain name is identical, or confusingly similar, to a trademark or service mark in which it has rights; l the respondent has no rights or legitimate interests in respect of the domain name; and l the domain name has been registered and is being used in bad faith. Gaga had no problem in proving the first requirement, as she had registered three federal LADY GAGA trademarks with the US Patent and Trademark Office in various classes. However, the three-member panel found that Gaga had not established that the respondent had no rights or legitimate interests under the second requirement. Given that the three requirements are cumulative, the complaint failed, and it was not necessary for the panel to consider the last requirement in relation to bad faith. The respondent asserted that she was operating a genuine non-commercial fan website at the domain name ‘ladygaga.org’, which contained no commercial links and included a prominent disclaimer, as follows: "Ladygaga.Org is just a unprofitable unofficial fansite, we do not get money from it.

  • Announce Your Wedding Online to Friends and Family with a Wedding Website
    Announce Your Wedding Online to Friends and Family with a Wedding Website Posted by TBN On 04/10/2012 Wedding planning seems to go on for months and months, but that final moment when it all comes together seems to be over within just the blink of an eye. One way to simplify your wedding planning is to create your own wedding website. A wedding website enables you to capture RSVP emails, make announcements about the wedding to friends and relatives, and more. What is a Wedding Website? A wedding website is your own Web URL or a certain amount of space hosted on another's website that announces your wedding and includes some information that possible guests would want to know. The website is dedicated solely to your wedding. It's a great way to let those nearby or abroad know about your wedding date and details, who will be in the wedding, and what to expect. The wedding website may contain photos of the bride and groom with special captions to explain each photo, the bride's and groom's names, the wedding date, an optional wedding song lyric, and a listing of the bride and groom parties. You can also post personal information about how you met, how the groom proposed, and who you are now. The website may also have a guestbook for visitors to leave comments for you. You can even list links to your bridal registries to make gift giving easy. Your Own Web Space versus Using Space on Another Site If you don't mind paying monthly fees for your own domain name and web hosting, you can get your own wedding website and hire a designer or design it on your own if you have the know-how.

  • EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Dymamic Web Page Creation
    Language Learning & Technology January 1998, Volume 1, Number 2 http://llt.msu.edu/vol1num2/emerging/ pp. 9-15 (page numbers in PDF differ and should not be used for reference) EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES Dymamic Web Page Creation Robert Godwin-Jones Virginia Comonwealth University Contents: • Plug-ins and Applets • JavaScript • Dynamic HTML and Style Sheets • Instructional Uses • Resource List While remaining a powerful repository of information, the Web is being transformed into a medium for creating truly interactive learning environments, leading toward a convergence of Internet connectivity with the functionality of traditional multimedia authoring tools like HyperCard, Toolbook, and Authorware. Certainly it is not fully interactive yet, but that is undeniably the trend as manifested in the latest (version 4) Web browsers. "Dynamic HTML," incorporated into the new browsers, joins plug-ins, Web forms, Java applets, and JavaScript as options for Web interactivity. Plug-ins and Applets While Web pages are beginning to behave more like interactive applications, traditional authoring tools are themselves becoming Internet-savvy, primarily through the use of "plug-in" versions of players which integrate with Web browsers. The most commonly used plug-in today is Macromedia's "Shockwave," used to Web-enable such applications as Director, Authorware, and Flash. "Shocked" Web pages can be very interactive and provide a visually appealing means of interacting with users (as in some sample ESL exercises from Jim Duber). Plug-ins are easy to use -- they just need to be downloaded and installed. Some come bundled with Netscape and Microsoft's browsers, which simplifies considerably the installation process (and gives developers the confidence that most users will actually have the plug-in installed).

  • Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML
    Chapter 10 Document Object Model and Dynamic HTML The term Dynamic HTML, often abbreviated as DHTML, refers to the technique of making Web pages dynamic by client-side scripting to manipulate the document content and presen- tation. Web pages can be made more lively, dynamic, or interactive by DHTML techniques. With DHTML you can prescribe actions triggered by browser events to make the page more lively and responsive. Such actions may alter the content and appearance of any parts of the page. The changes are fast and e±cient because they are made by the browser without having to network with any servers. Typically the client-side scripting is written in Javascript which is being standardized. Chapter 9 already introduced Javascript and basic techniques for making Web pages dynamic. Contrary to what the name may suggest, DHTML is not a markup language or a software tool. It is a technique to make dynamic Web pages via client-side programming. In the past, DHTML relies on browser/vendor speci¯c features to work. Making such pages work for all browsers requires much e®ort, testing, and unnecessarily long programs. Standardization e®orts at W3C and elsewhere are making it possible to write standard- based DHTML that work for all compliant browsers. Standard-based DHTML involves three aspects: 447 448 CHAPTER 10. DOCUMENT OBJECT MODEL AND DYNAMIC HTML Figure 10.1: DOM Compliant Browser Browser Javascript DOM API XHTML Document 1. Javascript|for cross-browser scripting (Chapter 9) 2. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS)|for style and presentation control (Chapter 6) 3. Document Object Model (DOM)|for a uniform programming interface to access and manipulate the Web page as a document When these three aspects are combined, you get the ability to program changes in Web pages in reaction to user or browser generated events, and therefore to make HTML pages more dynamic.
