A Better Way to Help Understanding How a Particular Web Page Works.

Why?

You see a web page that has some interesting elements in it and would like to know how it works. You now have to look separately at the HTML code, the CSS, JavaScript, etc.

How?

Show all relevant code for specific web page object as a pop-up overlay. This way you don’t have to hunt for each code snippet in their separate, distinct source.

Have One Hyperlink in an HTML Page Link to Multiple Targets

Why?

Many times you want to link from your web page to an external source or related page, but you have multiple such sources or related pages connected to the same word or phrase.

How?

Optimally this might be built into the needed protocols, but currently, it can be accomplished using JavaScript. When clicking you will get a small popup menu with all the links and their separate anchor texts and you can choose which one to follow. These are actual multiple hypertext tags, just hidden until you click on the visible one. This will enable search engines also to crawl all linked URLs.

Servers That Run Only Inside Browsers

Why?

No fixed physical server locations. Ad hoc solutions. Security. Anonymity.

How?

Build a javascript based server, complete with communication stack, encryption, and processing, to enable all this. The code could be easily distributed by including it on any (and many) web page. Running it is just going to a web page with the code on it and giving permissions for the code to do its thing.
