Apple has posted two separate documents that may be of interest to Internet developers. One focuses on JavaScript in Mac Web browsers, and the other examines Web services with WebObjects.

The JavaScript document attempts to answer an important question — “How well do Mac browsers handle JavaScript?” It deals with ways that Internet developers can test various aspects of JavaScript functionality in Mac browsers that support the technology.
Scripts associated with the document test how JavaScript runs in various Web browsers — including Apple’s own Safari. Other browsers rounded up for the test include Mozilla, Internet Explorer, iCab, Opera and OmniWeb.
Tests include manipulation of form field values, opening and communicate with pop-up windows, register event handlers to links, moving DHTML layers, change the display style of an element, generating form fields using the W3C DOM, and importing XML documents and showing their contents.
Web Services with WebObjects examines how to take an existing database and publish assets as Web services without having to write code, using Apple’s framework for developing Java server applications.
The document examines the data model, building the server application itself, configuring the Web service and testing it.
