A cobrowsing session allows two web users to share the same browsing session. One user controls the session; the other user has no control, but can view the activity of the other user. A modal window is a secondary window that requires the user to interact with it; the modal window must be closed before the user can return to the main application.
The Cobrowse widget can be customized to match the look and feel of the page by modifying the CSS file. The widgets are also extensible, allowing the user to create their own custom version to handle more advanced tasks.
In addition to listing the steps needed to enable applications with cobrowsing, this task includes details about how to enhance the application and configure the application server.
