How to make your site Internet Explorer 8 Compatible - Part 2 - WebSlices

Posted by admin on March 6th, 2008 at 09:43pm

In IE8 a new feature named “WebSlices” is added for websites to connect to their users by subscribing to the content directly within a web page.

Using WebSlice, users/clients can subscribe to get updates and notify changes to the user.
Even users can add the discovered WebSlices within a webpage to their Favorites bar.

Now, how to design it?
WebSlices are enabled by adding HTML annotations directly to the webpage.
The basic properties of WebSlice are the WebSlice container, Entry Title, and Entry Content.

WebSlice container represents the entire WebSlice containing the title, description, and other WebSlice properties and it is required property.

Entry Title is the title section of the Webslice and there can be multiple instances of Titles. This is also a required property.

Entry Content is an optional property, representing the content part of WebSlice and if blank, passed as an empty string.

More discussion on this and an example can be found at the Microsoft Website mentioned below.
