ok, now I understand ... I know that current DOM-via-js is not very 
much powerfull, but we have at least something. Or we need proper 
XML parser then?

I have no big clue. AFAIK javascript can call everything, and rebol 
can call javascript. And  javascript can be generated.

The main issue with javascript+java is if java isn't installed on 
the cleint's browser - you then ahve a big download - as Petr has 
pointed-out a rebol plug-in would be smaller than some JavaScript 
downloads.....

Drawback is, AFAIK javascript can not call rebol. which would be 
nice  for buttons and such.
Yes, butthe jitwould be better, and ifiaim for speed..
And with googles compileri may  beable tohave a pure javascriptversion 
from the same source.
Hmm, shouldchange the keyboard..

..so you really want a Rebcode plug-in ;-)

Naa,  native is still faster.
A raw hotspot withoutall the libs, and  rebolon top :)

uh, it looks like you talk in some cipher :-)
rebcode plug-in? Well, I hope, as new rebol will be mostly a .dll 
component, that we will be able to link it, call into it, etc.?

It's just that Volker's space bar isn't working :-)

hotspot  is the jit  which makes java that fast today. 1 mb i guess.
oh yes, and its the spacebar.. That  or back to a keyboard with cable.
the  rest of java  is  lots of libs. nice to have but big..
Which is written very oopsy. rewrite that for size and its  1 mb 
more.
how big is a flash-download?
PeterWood

Just under 2 mb from what I can tell
Volker

Would allow 3mb uncompressed.

I tried deploying a commercial tool in the brower and its very effective. 
 hehe it allows people to circumvent their sysadmins  :-)

But needs lots of knowledge about the  internals. Maybe if based 
on ME . butall  speculations.. :)

I only wish there where a safe way to implement local file sandbox 
within plugin.  AFAIK, the write and save commands do nothing...
Volker

AFAIK they work like desktop-sandbox. in another folder.
run a script  and show what-dir

a cylindrical decoration

Which was not to say it shouldn't be something other than it is, 
just that it isn't not what you thought it ought to be.

Apple's iPhone has got a competition. It it in no way revolutionary. 
Eugenia from OSNews has some nice blog about it. First there was 
LG, now there is Samsung - those companies surely had such products 
in development for quite some time. Here's first look at Samsungs 
machine. And it got keyboard!
