In javascript this is done using window.open(), or window.location=(url)

There might be a way, but probably you can't rely on this technique, 
with browser security being what it is.

and this is?

I'm sorry, I don't know, just making the point that perhaps you shouldn't 
rely on this method.

Just installed FF2 and the plugin still works.

That's a good sign.

Need some assistance in running the plugin from Opera9

After installing what do I have to do next

Do any of the demos work?  ( http://www.compkarori.com/reb/) is 
a working demo ...

many of the existing demos don't work.

thanks Graham that does work

but you are right the other demos on the rebol site don't work

yea dont work for me either

doesnt*

they are written for the earlier plugins

stupid questions... does current plugin allow us to access files 
and save out?  (using file browser or not)

anyon can tell me how I can fix a web page containing a rebol plugin, 
so it detects the vertical size properly?

do-browser "document.getElementById('REBOL').offsetHeight" in firefox 
returns 19 !!

sorry, DAMN CTRL-S reset again:

do-browser "document.getElementById('REBOL').offsetHeight"

in IE returns proper height, in firefox 2.x I get 19

try to use just .height

Use Firebug to inspect which DOM properties give you the correct 
height...

talking about saving files in the plugin... I did a simple (very) 
test... 

rebol [] write %test.txt "test"

ran that in the browser and then did a full disk search and I never 
found One file named test.txt  :-(

reading seems to be ok... but not writing.

try a    alert mold what-dir

there is no linux-plugin :(

IIRC It was argued, that it would be too easy to make DOS attacks 
... 
ex: 


loop 100000 [loop 10000000 [write/append %dos-attack.txt "1234567890"]

(talking about file writing)

hmm.  did not explore that far.

but if the plugin had a properties page, we could allow some scripts 
domains or ip addresses specific rights.  all set to off by default. 
 and all prefs values encrypted when saved of sent to registry, so 
that no virii or other nasty can allow its site to run unhindered.

This would be in the intent where people develop internal apps and 
deploy them through the intranet... in such cases file access would 
be acceptible.

Yes, and simply restrict the filesize. Or  better use an virtual 
filesystem, like a  zip.

thought that door was left open in the beta

me too.

but so far I am getting no results... and unless someone steps in 
to explain to me how I can write stuff out (read as gives me an example 
snippets which works on their machine)... I won't continue trying.... 
I've got other things to tackle first...


and obviously in normal web dev, the server is the file store, so 
you'd speak to it using http get and post... so as long as you have 
access to adding hooks on the server too, you can work out a virtual 
disk system through your web server... more safe too.

yes,butmore slow too.

hmm, through javascript you could use browser-cache.

you can access the cache through javascript?  write and read?

you can call javascript and  get back a string AFAIK.

do you know if we can properly resize the plugin size using javascript? 
or will in not refresh?

i hope that still works. Andi hope  javascript can read/write thru 
net. Or  only with ajax&callback?

do not know. I  guess Chris knows.

Chris?

But byreloading a div?

I thought by setting the object's size properties through the DOM... 
I haven't tried.

Our designer. Played a lot with the plugin IIRC.

Havent tried too, so i dont know.

Maxim, you can save files from plugin, I'm using it.

The files are here: c:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Local 
Settings\Temp\REBOL\Plugin\

Maxim, Local Settings is hidden folder and that's why you haven't 
found the file I think.
