Netscape-style plugins work in many browsers, e.g. konqueror can use them, too, like it uses the plugin for flash. I will go and gleam what I can from the Netscape documentation. If you want media streaming, every platform comes with integrated media players (konqueror-kaffeine, IE-WMP). It is useful for me to gain knowledge about how these things are integrated and can be accessed from what I write. But not really my initial objective. If you want an interactive application, you can use Java, Flash or use some Web2.0 stuff. I have never heard of Web2.0 before? I will go and find out what this is. But this is not the right list to discuss web development stuff. Know you of such a list?? I will take Wouter's advice and look through Mozilla pages.

I am guessing you think I mean to use ActiveX through WINE or some such thing? Do not worry that had not been my intention I was always to wary of WINE for my own reasons (not sure even how to use it for running stuff written for Windows). So no, no ActiveX on Linux, just stuff written in a compiled language and accessed via its integration with the browser. ...you now make me think! I wonder if it is possible to talk to programs running using WINE? (not from browsers I just mean write for example a console program that reports what WINE is running by looking at what calls are being made to what I assume is the running code for an API implementation.) I suppose? it is possible but not without knowing a lot about WINE or if there is already some utility for restricting software being run. Java was designed for WORA. Use it! What is WORA?

Writing: a) An Active X for Windows b) Linux equivalent c) MacOS equivalent through QT d) Java applet (for all) e) Some other platform bits I need not bother you with. I suppose you might take example from one of the cooperate AV companies who have an executable for each platform the target. For more than a decade, Java and JavaScript applets have been able to run from within the Netscape browser. What exactly do *you* mean by plug-in? For example a stream client. I will use Java but I want a backup. On all platforms it seems possible to write a separate application but in no real way integrated with the browser. Obviously I am being a little lazy by asking if anyone has heard of such a thing so that I can make use of that information however it seemed sensible since I have looked, not found and will now head for the development documentation for all browsers as a sensible path. There are however other ways round which may be more realistic than a plug in for each browser. With Windows because of the way programs can be enclosed development time is reduced a little. If this translates to Linux or perhaps just per browser that is a benefit. Realistically these questions should perhaps go to every single browser mailing list but it seemed sensible to ask here first. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFF29I9S9HxQb37XmcRAgrhAJ9ZppmRH96Ia88UlfhTAW3oelcVEwCcDAD1 LeQGxm0FZCNY0XkH03InI8A= =+TDn -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Plug applications into browsers
Has anyone ever tried writing an ActiveX on Linux to use with IE. ...Has anyone ever tried writing a program that will work as a plug-in on Linux (to work in as many browsers as possible). I know Java is a possible candidate for various things but I would rather have some sort of alternative when my Java programs are not an option for the client. If there is any information on discussion about this (except for lengthy discussions just talking over how insecure IE ActiveX are) then I would be interested to know. I will otherwise be looking into documentation for each browser and how to write plug-in individually. H. Young -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
