System 6 Browser Development Opinions
- Thread starter equant
- Start date
Just wanted to give props to porter for this effort. Way to go!!!
No rendering HTML yet, it does all the parsing etc, but I wanted to do all the "cross platform" conformance first at that will set the tone for how I do the rendering. Also, being able to write and debug the rendering using Xcode will vastly improve matters.
I'll throw the win32 binary in the package.
No CSS, no Javascript, no JVM plugin, no Applets, no ActiveX, no HTTPS, no QuickTime, no jpeg, no png.
Yes to tables, lists, cookies, proxies and forms.
I'm sticking with "browser6" for the basename of everything. It's what I've put in all the source copyright banners.
You will enjoy the new icon.
I've delivered a new drop to Mr Tetris so peeps can have a play.
I'm most interested in
(a) running on a variety of System 6 operating systems
( B) on different machines
© with different depths of colour, eg 1,2,4,8,16 and 24(32) bits
(d) running on anything other than System 6, what works and what doesn't. Ideally for Mac OS X, grab the one of the Carbon builds.
(e) that entering URLs gives expected results in the title bars and debug window.
I want it confirmed that GIFs are always rendered reasonably appropriately.
The menus always seem to be right, and the about dialog comes up.
Stay clear of "File->Open HTML etc" File Open can only really do GIFs at the moment.
No networking for Carbon yet.
There is a story behind the icon.

You wanted a surfing reference. As "SurfWriter" had already been grabbed by "Inside Macintosh IV" I used a tangential reference:

A "Moawhango Surfboard" is an ironing board, understandable to anyone who's been to the NZ Army Depot.
