From what I read I believe the plugin should interact with the DOM (sort of) by exploiting Javascript as the "go-between". Cool. Now let's make it linux and mozilla compatible. IE is downright primitive compared to firefox. ti

Hi Tim, there is some effort on AltME to gring in the NS kind of plug-in, which would work with NS, Mozilla, FF, Opera and other browsers, which do support NS kind of plugins. RT tries to let the community to do the job. Sadly, we are small community. I tried my best, gathered resources, etc., I wrote to mozilla plug-ins newsgroup, but saw no reaction. We need some C coder. NS kind of plug-in, from what I can understand abou it, needs just no more than 10 - 30 funcs wrapping. So - if you know someone willing to help, please let me know ... btw - getting plug-in to work under FF etc. is hopefully rather trivial task, but current IE plug-in simply is not done right, and then the real job starts, to define, how it should upgrade, how is should appear, how it should behave in other ways (as communication with browser is concerned), if it should allow rebol networking or use only browser one (I think not), how to detect proxy or allow various settings and more importantly - what to do about security and View (VID) in iself, in regards to pop-up windows (view/new layout [....] - and you have got new window popping up above browser window and someone could misuse it) Petr

Is RT providing a codebase to work from?

http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php Is forum index for firefox. I have an idea: Later today I will do some investigating as to where we can make inquire about plugins.

I've programmed in C for a long time. However I would be more valuable as a unit tester as opposed to writing code from scratch.... given my length of time away. I will check further for programmers. :-) While we are on the topic of being little-known but with great merit, check out the dynace system which sits "on top of" ansi C http://www.algorithms.us/ It's been around a *long* time, but pretty much employed by the developer's company, with a *small* user base outside of the company, I believe, but is very mature. OOP has many merits for team development, but C++ drives me crazy with header file stuff. (See comments in dynace site about header files). I'll post again once I get time to sniff around firefox forums a bit. tim P.S. While we're brain-storming about FFI for rebol? that could bring C programmers to rebol like java programmers are going to jython.

I posted an inquiry to http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=373483 The first reply points me to: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/008865.html The links on that page could prove to be interesting, especially "DOM_AGNOSTIC_BRANCH", which will then lead you to some C++ code examples. I haven't looked at the code closely, but it appears to be directly derived from mozilla code, and might be windoze-specific. tim * Tim Johnson <tim-johnsons-web.com> [060127 13:34]:
