[REBOL] Re: REBOL Web Browser Plugin (Alpha) - Volker's suggestion
From: sterling:rebol at: 11-Jun-2001 10:59
A _real_ plugin would draw directly into the browser window. That is
a lot harder than this simple plugin that we have devised. We do want
to do the complete plugin but thought that tossing this out to the
community would be a good first step. The benefit you get with the
plugin even now is that you can use an <EMBED ...> tag in you HTML
page and you can get a REBOL program to pop up as yo uview the page.
This also bypasses the blank page/stranded browser problem. You can't
do this with a simple file association nor does it seem that the
plugin can handle both situations by itself though we may be missing
something.
