This would > help with cross platform code :) The documentation on developer.apple.com is referring to the Cocoa WebKit API that is exposed by WebKit.framework on OS X. There is no Cocoa on Windows, so the API is not going to be identical between the two platforms. However, the Windows COM API is meant to mimic the Cocoa API as much as possible. You'll find lots of similarities between IWebView on Windows and WebView on OS X. It shouldn't be too hard to write a wrapper around the two that exposes a single interface. -Adam
