What is a My Sidebar Tab?
Sidebar tabs are simple HTML pages and are easy to create. With robust support for web standards like HTML 4, JavaScript, XML, CSS, and DOM, you can also create powerful applications. For example, a calendar tab could instantly switch from a day view to a month view or could add appointments that can be stored in XML. All of this works without any server round trips to slow down the process.
Tabs are like regular web pages in that they are built on HTML and other web standards. Sidebar tabs can deliver up-to-date, dynamic information. Users can easily add and customize sidebar tabs.
These are some of the features that tabs offer:
* Content can be automatically updated without user intervention
* Users can choose and arrange the tabs that appear to get just the information they want
* Tabs can be context sensitive, time sensitive, and person sensitive.
Any web site content can be delivered as a tab, enabling you to leverage your existing web content; however, dynamic information that incorporates web standards takes best advantage of the technology offered in Netscape 6 and other Mozilla-based browsers.
Information that is well suited to a tab is that which is of continuous interest to the user. The content can be dynamic in the sense that the details may change often, but the information should always be relevant and up to date. For example, a stock ticker or news wire service present constantly changing particulars, but the user desires the presence of that information to be continuous. Given the limited size of tabs, their content should NOT contain advertising, as users will avoid tabs that "push" ads at them.
These are some examples of information well suited to a sidebar tab:
* tidbits and highlights that link off to a full story elsewhere, such as news headlines
* dynamic information, such as a stock ticker
* small desktop applications, such as a calendar application |
