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.

PC Literacy II
Computer classes at The Library East Brunswick Public Library PC Literacy II Common Window Elements Most windows have common features, so once you become familiar with one program, you can use that knowledge in another program. Double-click the Internet Explorer icon on the desktop to start the program. Locate the following items on the computer screen. • Title bar: The top bar of a window displaying the title of the program and the document. • Menu bar: The bar containing names of menus, located below the title bar. You can use the menus on the menu bar to access many of the tools available in a program by clicking on a word in the menu bar. • Minimize button: The left button in the upper-right corner of a window used to minimize a program window. A minimized program remains open, but is visible only as a button on the taskbar. • Resize button: The middle button in the upper-right corner of a window used to resize a program window. If a program window is full-screen size it fills the entire screen and the Restore Down button is displayed. You can use the Restore Down button to reduce the size of a program window.

Using Microsoft Visual Studio to Create a Graphical User Interface ECE 480: Design Team 11
Using Microsoft Visual Studio to Create a Graphical User Interface ECE 480: Design Team 11 Application Note Joshua Folks April 3, 2015 Abstract: Software Application programming involves the concept of human-computer interaction and in this area of the program, a graphical user interface is very important. Visual widgets such as checkboxes and buttons are used to manipulate information to simulate interactions with the program. A well-designed GUI gives a flexible structure where the interface is independent from, but directly connected to the application functionality. This quality is directly proportional to the user friendliness of the application. This note will briefly explain how to properly create a Graphical User Interface (GUI) while ensuring that the user friendliness and the functionality of the application are maintained at a high standard. 1 | P a g e Table of Contents Abstract…………..…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………1 Introduction….……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………3 Operation….………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………3 Operation….………………………………………………….……………………………………………………………………………3 Visual Studio Methods.…..…………………………….……………………………………………………………………………4 Interface Types………….…..…………………………….……………………………………………………………………………6 Understanding Variables..…………………………….……………………………………………………………………………7 Final Forms…………………....…………………………….……………………………………………………………………………7 Conclusion.…………………....…………………………….……………………………………………………………………………8 2 | P a g e Key Words: Interface, GUI, IDE Introduction: Establishing a connection between

Summary of March 12, 2013 FTC Guide, “Dot Com Disclosures” by Susan D
Originally published in the American Advertising Federation Phoenix Chapter Newsletter (June 2013) Summary of March 12, 2013 FTC Guide, “Dot Com Disclosures” By Susan D. Brienza, Attorney at Ryley Carlock & Applewhite “Although online commerce (including mobile and social media marketing) is booming, deception can dampen consumer confidence in the online marketplace.” Conclusion of new FTC Guide on Disclosures The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has broad powers to regulate and monitor all advertisements for goods and services (with the exception of a few industries such as banking and aviation)— advertisements in any medium whatsoever, including Internet and social media promotions. Under long-standing FTC statutes, regulations and policy, all marketing claims must be true, accurate, not misleading or deceptive, and supported by sound scientific or factual research. Often, in order to “cure” a potentially deceptive claim, a disclaimer or a disclosure is required, e.g., “The following blogs are paid reviews.” Recently, on March 12, 2013, the Federal Trade Commission published a revised version of its 2000 guide known as Dot Com Disclosures, after a two-year process. The new FTC staff guidance, .com Disclosures: How to Make Effective Disclosures in Digital Advertising, “takes into account the expanding use of smartphones with small screens and the rise of social media marketing. It also contains mock ads that illustrate the updated principles.” See the FTC’s press release regarding its Dot Com Disclosures guidance: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2013/03/dotcom.shtm and the 53-page guide itself at http://ftc.gov/os/2013/03/130312dotcomdisclosures.pdf . I noted with some amusement that the FTC ends this press release and others with: “Like the FTC on Facebook, follow us on Twitter.

Beyond the Desktop: a New Look at the Pad Metaphor for Information Organization
Beyond the Desktop: A new look at the Pad metaphor for Information Organization By Isaac Fehr Abstract Digital User interface design is currently dominated by the windows metaphor. However, alternatives for this metaphor, as the core of large user interfaces have been proposed in the history of Human-computer interaction and thoroughly explored. One of these is the Pad metaphor, which has spawned many examples such as Pad++. While the the Pad metaphor, implemented as zoomable user interfaces, has shown some serious drawbacks as the basis for an operating system, and limited success outside of image-based environments, literature has pointed to an opportunity for innovation in other domains. In this study, we apply the the design and interactions of a ZUI to Wikipedia, a platform consisting mostly of lengthy, linear, hypertext-based documents. We utilize a human centered design approach, and create an alternative, ZUI-based interface for Wikipedia, and observe the use by real users using mixed methods. These methods include qualitative user research, as well as a novel paradigm used to measure a user’s comprehension of the structure of a document. We validate some assumptions about the strengths of ZUIs in a new domain, and look forward to future research questions and methods. Introduction and Background Windows-based user interfaces have dominated the market of multipurpose, screen-based computers since the introduction of the first windowed system in the Stanford oN-Line System (NLS)[3]. From Desktop computers to smartphones, most popular operating systems are based upon at least the window and icon aspects of the WIMP (Window, Icon, Menu, Pointer) paradigm.

Link to Website Fails to Open Inside Blackboard- Page Never Loads Issue Description Recommended Action
Link to Website Fails to Open Inside Blackboard- SUPPORT eLearning Page Never Loads Known Issue Issue Description Normally, when a link to an outside website is clicked and loads inside Blackboard, a gray bar will appear at the top of the frame, stating that “The Content Below is Outside of the Blackboard Learn Environment”. However, non-secured websites (i.e. url addresses beginning with HTTP://) or sites containing scripted or multimedia content may have trouble loading into frames within Blackboard. The gray notice bar will appear, but the webpage will never load. Also, in Internet Explorer an additional message may appear, stating “The Content Cannot Be Displayed in a Frame”. Recommended Action Easy Fix – Open Link in New Window or Tab This can be accomplished by right-clicking your mouse on the link and choosing “Open Link in New Window” or “Open Link in New Tab” from the context menu that appears. The web page will open in a new window and be accessible. RIGHT-CLICK your mouse cursor on the link; Choose Open in New Window Updated 9/11/2013 MH Best Practice Fix – Create or Edit the Link to Open in New Window Automatically Links created through Blackboard’s Web link tool are easier to create and modify than links added to the text of a Blackboard Item. When creating or editing a link to your course, be sure to set the link to open in a new window. This will help ensure that the website is easily accessible in any browser going forwards. These instructions assume that you have EDIT MODE turned on in your course.

Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with ODS RTF Scott Osowski, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC Thomas Fritchey, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC
Paper TT21 Hyperlinks and Bookmarks with ODS RTF Scott Osowski, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC Thomas Fritchey, PPD, Inc, Wilmington, NC ABSTRACT The ODS RTF output destination in the SAS® System opens up a world of formatting and stylistic enhancements for your output. Furthermore, it allows you to use hyperlinks to navigate both within a document and to external files. Using the STYLE option in the REPORT procedure is one way of accomplishing this goal and has been demonstrated in previous publications. In contrast, this paper demonstrates a new and more flexible approach to creating hyperlinks and bookmarks using embedded RTF control words, PROC REPORT, and the ODS RTF destination. INTRODUCTION The ODS RTF output destination in SAS allows you to customize output in the popular file Rich Text Format (RTF). This paper demonstrates one approach to using the navigational options available in RTF files from PROC REPORT by illustrating its application in two examples, a data listing and an item 11 data definition table (DDT). Detailed approaches using the STYLE option available within PROC REPORT are widely known and have been well documented. These approaches are great if you want the entire contents of selected cells designated as external hyperlinks. However, the approach outlined in this paper allows you to have multiple internal and/or external hyperlinks embedded in any text in the report and offers options not available when using the style statement. This flexibility does come with a price, as the code necessary is lengthier than the alternative. It’s up to you to decide which method is right for your output.
