Before you pour your life's work into a CPPWebBrowser-based application, please bear in mind that it is just a wrapper for IE7, and, as such, is bound to the limitations of IE's architecture. This may not seem a problem, until you push the Javascript engine beyond its limits, which is surprisingly easy to do. A case in point is my Hangman page at http://jacobsm.com/hangman.htm (about 2.5 MB in size). It uses words from a special dictionary file I pieced together with over 108,500 words. The sheer size of the words array created when the page loads under IE7, causes a stupid message about the awds array not existing, despite having just been declared. Loading the same page under Opera 9.10 works exactly how it should, with no errors, and a great game of Hangman going! To sum up, IE7 is significantly inferior to Opera 9.10 in certain areas, so any CPPWebBrowser-based application based on it, will also be inferior in those same areas. -- Mark Jacobs www.jacobsm.com
