Sticky Notes
This page supports sticky notes. If you select a word or sentence in this document and click the annotate button on the palette in the upper right corner, you are prompted for comments to be attached to the selection. The selected text is getting marked up with yellow background and underline style, and clicking it causes the sticky note to pop up in an edit box. The sticky note is persistently stored in a cookie locally on your computer.
A possible use of sticky notes is for proof-reading text in the development phase of a web-site by simply including a few JavaScript files into the HTML page. Since the text gets modified only on the client computer, no harm is done to the orignal page. Through a simple server side servlet, the changes could be submitted to the author for actually making the changes to the original text.

Palette Commands

  • Annotate Button - bring up editor for annotation of the selected text
  • Delete Button - delete currently edited annotation or all annotation if no selection
  • Undo Button - undo the last action
  • Redo Button - redo the last action

Browser Support

IExplorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari and Chrome

Integration

Include the style sheet and the JavaScript files and make sure to call "annotation_support.onload()" from the onload method in the body tag like in the example above.
