According to Comet theory, server side can push data to client side and it totally fulfills the real-time element in realtime web application. Based on Comet, this project mainly introduces a web based shareable whiteboard. In this whiteboard, different users can edit same picture at the same time and all of the editing actions are real-timely show to other users. With the help of this whiteboard, users can easily communicate in some area such as picture, design, mathematic etc. Moreover, teachers can also use it for an e-whiteboard in classroom.
