Forms technology for the World Wide Web has developed along two lines. The XForms strain has worked for a cleaner separation of concerns and supports more complex bindings between user interface and data. The HTML strain has focused on the user interface, defining new widgets and in HTML5 adding type definitions to form elements to enable native in-form validation. Some XForms implementations translate XForms elements into HTML widgets plus executable code. But HTML5 also defines new Javascript APIs browsers should support. The new facilities of HTML5-enabled browsers can be used to support XForms near-natively. We explain how.

Summary Objectives: Electronic medical record systems permit collection of large amounts of medical information. Usually, information is presented in a fixed format, either as text or tables. Health care providers have to navigate this fixed format in order to find information useful for a specific patient-provider interaction. The main objective of this work was to allow the provider immediate access to specific laboratory information through the development of a highly customizable, graphical user interface to the Mayo Clinic laboratory information system. Methods – Results: Here we describe this platform-independent, World-Wide-Web-based graphical user interface that allows the provider to see all or a predetermined panel of essential laboratory data in graphical format. Advantages include availability at internet-based workstations, immediate recognition of trends over time, ability to zoom in and out of specific periods of time, and detailed analysis of patient values in relationship to normal values. Conclusions: Web browser-based user interface allowing graphical display of laboratory data using Java technology was described. The connection to the Mayo Clinic laboratory information system combines cross-platform support for use on virtually any networked machine, interaction through a Web browser for ease of use, and a combination of the Perl and Java languages for powerful data processing and interactivity.

My considerations are organized into three parts. In the first part I expand upon the influence of the Internet on our experience of space and time as well as our concept of personal identity. This takes place, on the one hand, in the example of text-based Internet services (IRC, MUDs, MOOs), and through the World Wide Web’s (WWW) graphical user-interface on the other. Interactivity, the constitution characteristic for the Internet, stands at the centre of this. In the second part I will show how the World Wide Web in particular sets in motion those semiotic demarcations customary until now. To this end I recapitulate, first of all, the way in which image, language and writing have been set in rela-tion to one another in the philosophical tradition. The multimedia hypertext-uality which characterizes the World Wide Web is then revealed against this background. In the third, and final, part I interpret the World Wide Web’s hypertextual structure as a mediative form of realization of a contemporary type of reason. This takes place on the basis of the philosophical concept of tranversality developed by the German philosopher Wolfgang Welsch.
