Hi Arie,
Do you really need to code web browser, or is it acceptable to control a web browser from Pharo.
We also have a custom playground, so evaluate pharo expressions that are translated to javascript and executed by the web browser.

Hi,
for a project I need this kind of program:
- client side only
- must be able to programmatically show a web browser in a window (Morphic??); only local content will be shown
- must also be able to show other windows, containing simple games
Now, I guess that 1 and 3 are possible straight away, but I am unsure about option 2.
I found out that there are a few ways to do it:
- using C#, which has:
- standard web browser control out-of-the-box
- third-party open source chromium web browser component
- using Java, which (afaict) is a coding effort, but possible anyway
That saiud, since I'd very much like to start using Pharo for more tasks (just starting) I wonder if Pharo has something to offer in this case.
Many thx!
