It's not just JS -- WebCore is not threadsafe -- chrome gets around
this by hosting each webview in a distinct process -- effectively the
same as if you launched multiple instances of safari (or Cruz, Shiira,
OmniWeb, etc) to get parallel browsing (this is a high level overview,
chrome does other work as well, but it's not relevant to the
discussion).
Making WebCore and the WebKit API threadsafe in the way requested
would be non-trivial. Although i'm kind of interested in what
specifically the original emailer wanted to do

Thanks for the info guys, I stand corrected. Completely forgot

This is not possible due to various issues with the interaction
between JS across multiple webviews, and the additional assumption
that all layout and painting occurs in the UI thread. Attempting to
interact with WebKit on multiple threads will cause crashes.

view and handle every event in the main thread?and why?are there
any plan to change it?
