This may not seem a problem, until you push the Javascript engine beyond its limits, which is surprisingly easy to do. A case in point is my Hangman page at http://jacobsm.com/hangman.htm (about 2.5 MB in size). It uses words from a special dictionary file I pieced together with over 108,500 words. The sheer size of the words array created when the page loads under IE7, causes a stupid message about the awds array not existing, despite having just been declared. Loading the same page under Opera 9.10 works exactly how it should, with no errors, and a great game of Hangman going! To sum up, IE7 is significantly inferior to Opera 9.10 in certain areas, so any CPPWebBrowser-based application based on it, will also be inferior in those same areas. -- Mark Jacobs www.jacobsm.com Back to top Eduardo Jauch Guest Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 10:45 pm    Post subject: Re: Warning to all CPPWebBrowser Developers Mark Jacobs escreveu: Quote: Before you pour your life's work into a CPPWebBrowser-based application, please bear in mind that it is just a wrapper for IE7, and, as such, is bound to the limitations of IE's architecture.

There are some other component, similar to cppwebbrowser, but that uses instead the firefox, or opera, or any other? I have an apllication that uses cppwb and man... Some times I think that killing myself would prevent all ths pain... rsrsrsrsrsr Back to top Enrique Guest Posted: Thu Feb 08, 2007 11:44 pm    Post subject: Re: Warning to all CPPWebBrowser Developers You are right, CppWebBrowser is like an infinite headache. In Delphi there is a free component that helps a lot (EmbeddedWebBrowser), but still being IE... I don't know why Borland doesn't develop a good wrapper for Mozilla or something similar to EmbeddedWebBrowser at least... Even more... I don't know why any developer did it.
