hello, It's been a while I've not posted anything to this mailing list, but I found yesterday a new program to annotate any Web page. See www.imarkup.com This is very well done, you can highlight any text, use brushes to draw on the page, also attach notes... You can send an annotated page by email. It only works for IE, but a version for Netscape should come. It is in the spirit of Yawas (the little javascript-based annotation tool I wrote last year and which I'm still improving) but the user interface of IMarkup is much better !! A great thing with Imarkup is that when you visit a page you've annotated, the software automatically inserts the annotations once the page is loaded. They must have a kind of ActiveX attached when an instance of IExplorer is loaded so that this ActiveX can receive events from IExplorer. I found out a way of doing that also using Band Objects (history and favorites are kinds of band objects). But if the user closes the Band Object, it seems it is no longer able to receive events from IE, and then cannot automatically insert the annotations on an annotated page. IMarkup does that even if the IMarkup Window is closed. So maybe somebody here knows more about the technology... I would be interested since some users have requested I implement this in Yawas. Thanks, Laurent.
