Hi



OpenCell is currently based on XulRunner (i.e. very similar to Firefox), and
hence cruises regarding handling SVG with JavaScript. Based on early
reports from Alan and Andrew, it seems that other platforms (e.g. Qt/C++ or
Scala/JVM) will probably struggle.



However, one option to consider is to reverse the situation, and rather than
embed the browser in OpenCell, embed OpenCell in the browser. That way, the
SVG is rendered by the browser, and the JavaScript is making calls to and
API exposed by the OpenCell plug-in (or applet?).



Thoughts?



Regards,

Randall
