It is ok that we have not to implement it in Harbour.
But this is not ok that the use of QtWebKit is synonymous
to any web-browser in the market. QtWebKit is begins where
any web-browser ends. It transfers the control to desktop
application to present and exploit web-contents with
DBFCDX. No browser gives this flexibility.
To illustrate, you create a window as a web-page, design
its contents from some table's fields, capture the user-input,
naviage the www as your appln requires and accomplish
your target in modern environments. This alone opens up a
pandora of extensions.
The only point I disliked is its heavy load. But then, if you
ever visualized in the task manger, IE also consumes a
lot of memory.
QtWebKit is not a "browser" by definition, a framework
to design user-interface, even ReadModal() the WWW way.
It is much more than, to understand better, Alaska's WAA.
