Jesse MacFadyen resolved CB-2399.
---------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
The windows target is for developing Windows Store Apps.
Windows Store Apps cannot use active-x controls, so the requested feature is
not possible.
> Integrate "Chrome Frame" into cordova-windows (adds WinXP support + webkit/v8
> option instead of IE)
> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CB-2399
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CB-2399
> Project: Apache Cordova
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Windows 8
> Reporter: Jared
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: feature
>
> Use Google's "Chrome Frame" plugin as a way to get support for pre-IE9 based
> windows systems. Although Chrome Frame won't work out of the box with
> embedded webviews according to Frame's FAQ, it is open-source and under a
> BSD-style license.
> Chrome Frame feels like it would be a rather clever way to get win32 support
> for setups that don't have IE9 or greater (or for web developers that don't
> want to rely on the trident rendering engine at all and instead develop
> against the latest webkit/v8 setup).
> Of course keeping app distributables small is also important since we
> wouldn't want to distribute a 30MB+ dependency with each app. To solve this,
> the integration could be designed such that the Chrome Frame framework is
> downloaded and installed silently in the background and only when
> needed/requested by the app developer.
> Using Chrome Frame also has the benefit of being distributed and maintained
> by Google so its in good hands.
