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
fashion, but I wanted to mention that there is no specific relation, 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.

Nothing should "start" with the windows side.  :)

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!

Is there a plug-in that allows for HTML editing, preferably a cross
platform plug-in?  But starting with the Windows side?

Thanks,
