Customizable Functional Web Components for Visual Web Programming

This paper presents high-level functional Web components, which conventional development environments for Web applications have not yet supported. The high-level functional Web components sum up various kinds of data in two dimensions as in Microsoft Excel. These components reduce the amount of code to be written by developers greatly. The paper also describes the system that implements these high-level functional components as visual Web components. This system assists in the development of Web applications based on a page-transition framework that regards a Web application as a sequence of Web page transitions.By using visual Web components, the system makes it easier to write actions executed when a Web page transfers to another.
