Thanks for your reply. I certainly don't want to write my browser engine
from scratch, so it's good to hear this. I'm still kind of worried about
specific things, like how to provide my own interface to create plug-ins,
since I assume my app can't use IE or Safari plug-ins. I'd like to create a
serious browser for everyday use, not just a toy to hack with. But anyway,
altBrowser looks very promising and I think I might try it.

Jack,
Yes, with altBrowser you can do everything a professional browser could do
quite nicely.... because you are actually using the professional browser.
It
basically enables you to embed either Internet Explorer (Windows) or Safari
(Mac) into your Rev stack. It is not an alternative browser.
Rev itself can capture the HTML of any web page and even does some basic
rendering -- text styles and inline graphics -- within its text fields. But
it won't handle anything like tables or CSS or DHTML. As for writing your
own browser from scratch in Rev? That would be a massive undertaking no
matter what language/platform you used! :)
