NOTE:
This project is no longer being maintained: it was developed for my masters thesis, which was completed in early 1997. I still, however, welcome any questions or comments that people may have.

Interactive HTML Example

Page Usage Statistics

For the best results, run this demo in two different browsers!

This demo shows how an Interactive HTML 'main' program (a program associated with an entire document) may be used to retrieve and display usage statistics for a page. This goes beyond gross usage statistics which are currently available from servers -- e.g., how many times a page has been retrieved -- to more detailed information about which parts of a particular page users tend to view.

The demo is in two parts. The first is an example page -- in this case the architecture page of the iHTML Supercomputing '95 poster presentation -- with a link to an iHTML program which collects the statistics. The second is an iHTML embedded object which retrieves the data and displays it as a bar-chart.

Statistics Retrieval

Display a page from which viewing statistics are to be collected.

Statistics Display

Display a chart of the most recent viewing statistics.

Combined Statistics and Chart

(Not currently working.) Display the statistics page with the chart included in it.

You may also be interested in taking a look at the page server source code, the server program written in Python that is running on a remote machine which both of these example programs access
