I have a Mac Plugin for viewing images. It's originally written in Quickdraw, and I'm trying to move it to Quartz. My current problem is the origin. In QD, the origin is (sensibly) the upper left corner of the plugin rectangle. In Quartz, it appears to be one screen height below the top of the plugin rectangle (not including firefox but...
Whats an easy way to see the trace() of Flash/Flex movies when running in any browser? ...
I'm working on a plugin for Firefox on a mac. our plugin has it's own scrollbar. How does the event stucture differ for controlling a scrollbar within a plugin, vs in a normal application? Symptoms: code works fine in a stand alone application. Mouse wheel works fine in both cases. In plugin, the scrolling isn't live, and often won't a...
I'm thinking I need a browser plugin that does the following, and if it doesn't exist, it should. I may as well say FF for now, but it could be any browser. The problem: when moving a website from one server to another, you need migration testing. It is a pain to click on every link by hand and compare it to the old host. You really ...
Writing a embeddable cross-browser plugin that is scriptable via JavaScript i am unsure how to handle read-only and write-only properties the best way. Is it more common or intuitive to discard values silently on write for read-only and return dummy value for write-only or to indicate failure to the browser, most likely resulting ...
I need some help moving from the concept phase to the requirements gathering phase on this: Imagine I want to extend existing browsers (FireFox primarily, Safari, Chrome (multiple platforms would be nice)) to recognize a new filetype and display it 'correctly'. Sort of like the Adobe PDF plugin (which Safari no longer needs), but for som...
We have a popup window where the user makes some selections and clicks on a button to generate a pdf file. We show a progress display (animated gif), and then eventually send the pdf contents to the user with content-disposition: inline. The user then usually prints the pdf file. For some users, there is no inline browser viewer for pdf...
in other words, suppose I want to send data, like text, programmatically from a Windows app (such as a browser plugin) to a Flash app running in the browser. Well, conceptually, an example of this might be a Flash instant messenger with a textbox and button "Send"; so let's say I want to be able to programmatically paste the text and pre...
I'm currently developing a browser plugin for MacOSX 10.6, and am planning to use the netscape API for portability across browsers and architectures. According to Apple's documentation, as of 10.6 such plugins run out-of-process to improve the integrity of the browser session. What I'm concerned about is the following directive they give...
I know its possible to integrate NPAPI plugins with QTWebKit as its been supported since the release of QT 4.5. My question is, should I go and design my plugin according to the Mozilla/Gecko documentaion -Which is probably the only available/reliable documentation for NPAPI beside some really old book called "Programming NetScape Plug-...
Hi, I'm thinking about writing a browser plugin, but I don't know any C. Can I write browser plugins with Java or Python? I was thinking... All those websites store cookies on my browser to identify me. If I wrote a plugin that would supply a browser GUID in the http headers, webservers could identify the browser. I think that would r...
I would like to create a browser plugin which works LIKE flash, with embedded content from my application on the page. How would I go about doing this? Is it doable with .net applications? Thanks for the help. EDIT: To clarify, I have no intention of making something EXACTLY like flash, or remotely similar. I merely wish to be able t...
I'd like to write a Folder/Drive picker the runs in the browser and allows a user to select files to upload to a webservice. The primary usage would be selecting folders or a whole CD and uploading them to the web with their directory structure in tact. I'm imagining something akin to Jumploader but which automatically enumerates externa...
Hello. The web based application I am working on currently is a port from a windows application. This application is very data intensive. There are scores of modules and each of these modules have number of forms (data entry screens) and reports whereas the forms have many many fields and likewise the reports. I have been trying to iden...
Hello. For my data intensive web application (heavy forms & complex reports), from performance standpoint, which is better ... a browser plug-in based RIA (say SilverLight) or Java Script based RIA (say ExtJS)? At this moment, we can avoid the discussion of plug-in availability, etc. My only focus is performance. Reasoning will be app...
I'm curious as to the procedure for writing browser plugins for browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Opera. I'm thinking specifically of Windows here and would prefer working with C++. Are there any tools or tutorials that detail the process? Note: I am not referring to extensions or 'addons'. I'm referring to a plugin similar to how ...
When considering a platform for a game, I've decided on multi-platform (Win/Lin/Mac) but can't make up my mind as far as browser vs. desktop. As I'm not all too far in development, and now having second thoughts, I'd like your opinion! Browser-based games using Java applets: market penetration is reasonably high (for version 6, it's...

My target platform is only windows, and I just want the alternative of browser plugin to call a client side programe after instructed when the user is browser the web page. Is ...
