Hmm... I now realize that the midas distribution does not include an example web page that 
integrates all these elements into one easy to understand html file.

I think an example page that would answer your questions and the questions from the other 
thread about starting/stopping runs, should include following elements:

- the general midas web page framework (the midas left-hand side menu, the top side 
status display, Stefan's new odb tags)
- buttons to start and stop runs (javascript code to call the run transition RPCs)
- embedded images for history display (old style gif and new style canvas)
- embedded images for ROOT histograms (via the ROOT http server and jsroot)
- code to live-update all these elements independantly from each other (to allow history 
plots and ROOT histograms to update at different frequencies).

As for the web page code for showing a mini-event-display, I think we do not know yet how 
to do - the event data lives inside the analyzer as C++ data structures, so somehow it 
needs to be encoded as json (this code is missing - but one can use the ROOT C++ to json 
encoder/streamer), needs to be transported to the web browser (we know how to do this) 
and at the end, plotting the json data on a canvas is the easy part.

I know some experiments have done all of this, and I think we should have such a pipeline 
available as part of the ROOTANA package. Maybe some day...
