| CDF
Microsoft Active Channels and the PointCast Network are two popular "push"
technologies that automatically deliver channels (Web pages) to Internet
Explorer 4.0 browsers or PointCast Network client software. Each push
technology uses a separate CDF file that specifies the channel's structure
and lists the Web pages, images, and ActiveX Controls to be pushed by the
channel. The CDF file also includes headlines describing channel content,
downloading scheduling, and other options. Channel developers use
HTML-like tags to create the CDF file. |
