First off, my customer base is Windows. So thats why I wanted to
"start" with Windows.
However, I'm a Mac person, so I'd really need both platforms. And
Linux makes sense
as well. What I really think we need is a plug-in / control that
allows for reliable standards
based viewing of HTML / CSS. I'd also like to see an "edit" mode so
that people could do
some level of editing in the control. There are dozens of JavaScript /
Ajax editors that
achieve this and its not something thats 'unique', if you're building
some level of content
management, having an HTML editor is becoming "standard".
I'm not familiar with WebKit, is this also something that can run on
Windows?

I definitely agree that htmlviewer needs to be standardized in some

per
se, between htmlviewer and a wysiwyg editor. Certainly there _could_
be
one, but really it just boils down to an interface that can take input
that is then processed into proper (x)html/css.
While certainly not the most difficult task in the world, I think
it'd be
a rather extensive project to even half-ass such a thing.

When I bought RB 2005, it was because of HTML viewer, 4 years later
it
still
does not work. You are right, they should just make their own, and
use
webkit or have Opera or firefox make a plugin. Just something that
works.

Just kidding. That I know of, no such bird exists....what with the
HTMLViewer in RB being 3 different engines across 3 platforms.
Maybe RB should just standardize on WebKit and be done with it!
