If a browser finds a MIME type it cannot display (for example from an <embed> or <object> tag) then is will iterate through available plugins and load the plugin which handles that MIME type.
Regarding camera on S60, you may want to take a look at: Nokia hvave released a beta version of the their new "Platform Services" (JavaScript API to you and me), this includes a camera API (the download includes a sis file which adds the new api to the device, but it also comes with a JavaScript library which allows pictures to be taken using the camera app and displayed using JavaScript). There are also sample widgets which use the camera API. http://www.forum.nokia.com/info/sw.nokia.com/id/cccea743-f4e5-418f-ad9f-0a7a7f50868f/Nokia_Platform_Services_2_0.html For something which isn't in beta, Nokia provide a JavaScript API for launching 3rd party applications (you just supply the UID of the app you wish to launch - I don't know how you can transfer data from the app to the webkit environment though). The API is part of Nokia's Web Developer Library found here: http://library.forum.nokia.com/index.jsp?topic=/Web_Developers_Library/GUID-4D13AF3F-4733-44E7-996F-F27A11C9D6BF_cover.html You want to look at Web Developer's Library 1.7 > Web Runtime widgets > Developing widgets > Web Runtime API reference > JavaScript Service API reference On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 1:21 PM, Sam Critchley<scritch...@gypsii.com> wrote: > > Hi, > > Apologies for the very basic question, but I'm trying to find out how you > can use custom MIME types in WebKit on S60 (3rd and 5th editions).
