Hi Jack,
Thanks for taking the time to reply. The Nokia Platform Services
resources are great, but currently only available in WRT on their S60
5th edition devices (5800 and N97). I think we're also going to look
closely at the plug-in route as well - I wonder if there's a
repository of standard plug-ins somewhere...
I found the following on S60 browser plug-ins:
http://www.forum.nokia.com/main/resources/technologies/browser_plug-in_api.html
Unfortunately I think this pre-dates the WebKit browser, so I'm not
sure it still applies....
I did find some documentation on Ecom plug-ins as well. I assume
that's also available through S60WebKit as well. The main question is
whether there's a repository of existing plug-ins somewhere (e.g. if
there's a camera plug-in) or if you have to code your own.
Thanks,
Sam

If a browser finds a MIME type it cannot display (for example from an

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.

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:

You want to look at Web Developer's Library 1.7 > Web Runtime widgets
Developing widgets > Web Runtime API reference > JavaScript Service

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).
We're
looking at doing something like triggering the S60 camera app using
a camera
button in a web form (which is accessed in an app using Webkit for
content
display), take a picture, insert it into the form, and POST it to the
website. Can anyone point me to information on how/whether we could
do this?
Thanks,
Sam
