HTML Rendering Engine
-
Forgive me if this should be in one of the programming sections, but I didn't think it was particularly related to programming... I need an non IE way of rendering HTML pages, that allows you to access/modify it at the DOM level, or comes with source. I know of Mozilla but I am hopeless with those kind of projects (I once tried to build the OpenOffice code from home - complete failure - what else is available? My target is to create an HTML design program (for making websites) for use with my companies Intranet, to allow employees to create, and maintaning, their 'personal page' (management call it a 'morale boost'). The program cannot have any dependency on IE whatsoever, as many of the machines the program will be running on cannot support IE. Please, I want as many followups from this thread as possible, and I only have about two months to create the program James Millson

Hello James, There is really no problem building the mozilla code. Follow the K-Mellon example to do yours. Regards, Paul. Paul Selormey, Bsc (Elect Eng), MSc (Mobile Communication) is currently Windows open source developer in Japan, and open for day job or programming contract anywhere!

Hi, First of all try W3.org although their projects are not that simpler. If your company doesn't mind paying some money try http://www.homepagesw.com/ and ask for a license of the code. They have one drwaback (the later one), they don't render anything else BUT HTML (at least that was last time I checked). Good luck.:cool: Alberto Gattegno Software Engineer http://www.itginc.com

Easier said than done. I downloaded the most recent CVS tree (all of it) and then tried to follow the instructions at www.mozilla.org/build/win32.html, but there are so many extra things I need to download, etc, I don't know where to start. If you have sucessfully built it, could you please let me know exactly what extra tools, etc, you needed, and how you managed to compile it. I know it lists some tools in the document mentioned above, but I can rememeber when I was trying to build the openoffice code I had all kinds of problems trying to get it to build (and I had all the extra files - I think). I'm, just not made for projects that you don't jsut open in VC++ and hit F7 to build ;).

I had a similar situation a few years ago. I decided that I didn't want the headaches of teaching people how to use an html editor, and I didn't want to allow the end-loosers the ability to make mistakes, so I creaed a database driven "Personal Page" on a central server. There were different fields that were generic enough to be useful (My Daily Hours, My Job Position/Description, My Hobbies, etc.) We even ended up creating an MS Exchange driven "appointment book" that linked into the page In the end, it was a single page, driven by ASP and the end user used a simple little MFC Dialog app to enter whatever data they wished. It cut development time, costed less than an html editor implementation, and was very easy for the users to grasp. I don't think that I ever got a support call for that app. :-D -Mike Stevenson CoderX@liquidmirror.com Owner, Liquid Mirror Software (http://www.liquidmirror.com) Owner, Shareware Junction (http://www.sharewarejunction.com) Owner, Internet Shopping Spree (http://www.internetshoppingspree.com/)
