Hi,
If I want to get events from gecko in java what do I need to do? Are
there any suggestions for this?
I am currently trying to embed webclient in my java app, but I need to
listen to html links, text inputs, etc
and depending on the..get the browser to do stop or go to different
link, etc.
Any plans how to add this in java? anything I can look at that might
help. Not a big C++ programmer, but
interested in finding out, my choices. This would be really good to
have. Thanks in advance.
