What is Browser-Based Application Toolkit?

Browser-Based Application Toolkit is a Web presentation framework with extendible building blocks for creating a professional, consistent user interface.

How does it work?

Browser-Based Application Toolkit consists of a set of reusable elements for graphical user interfaces (GUI). The parameters of these elemets are set with XML data and packaged with a run-time environment for a server. The toolkit's framework can be used to rapidly build GUIs that not only mimic business processes, but that implement IBM's standards for accessability and national language enablement.


About the technology author(s):

Browser-Based Application Toolkit was developed by a team at the IBM Toronto Lab, which holds several world-wide missions for software development.

The team has worked on Browser-Based Application Toolkit for several years and has been supporting the efforts of many developers who use it to create GUIs for an industry-leading e-commerce package. All are staff software developers with backgrounds in computer science. They enjoy tweaking DHTML and Javascript™ to make browsers work in new and slick ways.

The team was recently a finalist in the Lab's awards for 2002 in the "OneTeam" category.
