I am using the purebasic webbrowswer for my projects and notice that it does not support CSS3 animations or HTML5 videos etc.
Can Purebasic designer doing anything about this? Will there be an upgrade so that we can use the browswer with Html5 and css3?
The above image is a screenshot of the error message.
Thanks.

By default, the PB WebGadget uses the IE engine (ATL module) on Windows...
You may try the #PB_Web_Mozilla flag, but I don't know if the Mozilla ActiveX supports HTML 5...

If you want to design your own browser you'll need to download the page and then interpret the HTML and CSS.

I tried it as follows placing #pb_webMozill
Code: Select all
If WebGadget(10, 0, 31, 0, 0, "http://www.purebasic.com",#PB_Web_Mozilla) = 0 : MessageRequester("Error", "ATL.dll not found", 0) : End : EndIf
It does not work. Same error messages.
Any ideas before the html5 wav sweeps the world and we, purebasic users, are left unable to use it?

It won't be long before FireFox supports them, but until they do, nobody is going to use HTML5 CSS3 for their websites if they want people to use them.......
To use FireFox with PB's webgadet, the Mozilla ActiveX has to be downloaded (see PB help).

I downloaded and installed Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.7.12, and proceeded to use the webgadget with #pb_web_Mozilla, it got worse. Nearly the entire html5 screen did not show up. Proceeded to uninstall the Mozilla ActiveX Control , it acts as though #pb_web_Mozilla is not there.
Using the native PB Webgadget would be able to run two of the options ie. Web storage and CSS3 fonts. The rest showed browser not supported.
Even under IE9 not all are supported . FireFox runs all.

I am using the PB's webgadget where the entire page loads automatically.
How does one is able to download and interpret the html5 and css code? I am not sure.

Maybe there's a way to use the WebKit engine.
WebKit supports html5 as far as I know but I don't know how it could be embedded.
It looks like there are some Chromium wrappers. Chromium is also based on WebKit.

You would need to download the html page, parse it's html tags and css code, and draw the page yourself on the window. Not something easy or fast to do, and maybe your browser wouldn't be the world smallest browser anymore :/

Creating your own parser and renderer wouldn't be very logical.
Maybe this works

If I understand it correctly, you can use the free license unless your company made over $100K last year.
If your company made over $100K last year, you probably can afford such a license.

Only if your business made mode than $100,000 last year.
The license is free if you have made under $100,000.

Does that mean if the latest version of IE is installed on the PC, that the WebBrowserGadget() can make use of it?

Yes. The atl.dll has nothing to do with IE, it is simply an ActiveX container. Fred could just as easily write an OLE container and drop the need to distribute the atl.dll with our programs, but I am sure Fred has a reason for doing it the way he is.
