whitepaper The Missing Manual: Style Sheets2006-01-18 O'Reilly Media
  Style sheets are separate documents that are filled with formatting rules. The browser reads these rules and uses them to format the Web page. For example, a style sheet rule might say, "Make all headings bold and fuchsia and draw a box around each one." There's several reasons that one places formatting instructions in a style sheet instead of directly in a Web page. The most obvious one is reuse. For example, thanks to style sheets, one can create a single rule that one can use with every level three heading in every Web page on the Web site. The second reason is that style sheets help to make tidy, manageable HTML.

whitepaper Automation and Customization of Rendered Web Pages2006-02-24 01:01:25 Association for Computing Machinery
  On the desktop, an application can expect to control its user interface down to the last pixel, but on the World Wide Web, a content provider has no control over how the client will view the page, once delivered to the browser. This creates an opportunity for end-users who want to automate and customize their web experiences, but the growing complexity of web pages and standards prevents most users from realizing this opportunity. This paper describes Chickenfoot, a programming system embedded in the Firefox web browser, which enables end-users to automate, customize, and integrate web applications without examining their source code.   
whitepaper Yahoo! Hacks: Visualize Your Music Collection2005-10-06 O'Reilly Media
  Visualizing an entire music collection has never been easy. Whether the music is in stacks of vinyl records or in racks full of CDs, it's tough to get a picture of all of the artists, albums, and genres that are so unique to each of us. Moving music from the physical world to the digital world of computers has helped, because digital formats can store information about albums and artists that can be extracted and analyzed. This paper helps to visualize the virtual music collection by showing a list of artists in different font sizes: the larger the font, the more tracks one has by that artist.

whitepaper Dynamic Interaction With Your Web Application2006-12-09 01:00:18 Sun Microsystems
  This paper shows the code of a simple servlet. This servlet accepts just one attribute via the POST method. An equally simple HTML page consisting of a text area and a submit button is written to interact with it. Yet despite the simplicity of these two components, what a user will have is a powerful tool to interactively analyze the state of any web application.   
whitepaper FrontPage 2003: The Missing Manual - Cascading Style Sheets2005-09-12 O'Reilly Media
  When HTML receives its lifetime achievement award from the World Wide Web Academy, it surely won't be for the gorgeous documents it helped produce. HTML's layout capabilities are pretty limited. So now that one understands basic HTML formatting, one is probably wondering how some Web sites manage to look so sleek. Cascading Style Sheets, or CSS, have advanced the cause of Web design enormously. With CSS, an author gains greater control over what each page looks like. Style sheets contain specific typographic and color controls to improve the site's appearance, and most of these CSS tools surpass regular HTML formatting capabilities. But styles go beyond controlling text and color.
