Hi All!
I've just been blind-sided by my client's client's client! So I've come to the brain trust for ideas. Been working on a kiosk type of thing that runs as a Dir 8.5 projector, but needs to display live web sites also (sites that we don't control). Need to control what user can do while in browser. User only has a mouse -- no keyboard -- but client does not want e-mail program opening if a mailto link is clicked, doesn't want multiple browser windows popping up, etc. Our client initially said we could pick the machines we want it to run on, so we bid it and have been developing with the plan to use Windows machines and Web Browser ActiveX control to keep the browsing inside Director where we have better control. Well, it seems the end client wants to take this thing to Mac World for its debut (the products they're selling are cross-platform). And it turns out there is some problem like Mac World won't let them use Windows machines, even if they are hidden in a cabinet! (I can't swear that this is the exact reason...I'm getting this info 3rd or 4th hand.) So suddenly our great plan just went to hell. Please tell me...HOW can I get that tight of control over a browser when running on a Mac??????!!!!! I researched LiveCD, but it looks like its HTML support is way out of date. This is an artsy fartsy kiosk and the client is not going to be satisfied with half-assed rendering of web pages.
