Ok. This may be OT. I posted here because I thought
Mozilla based browsers too support DDE and I coulnt
find any document.
I have now a legacy app which is completely broken
because of lack of DDE support in Netscape 6 and
mozilla based browsers.
I looked at the plug-in API for Netscape 6 and
Mozilla and I don't think I would be able to
do what my legacy can do using DDE transactions such as
WWW_Activate,WWW_RegisterURLEchoc:
1. Launch the browser or attach to an existing instance and
Activate it.
2. Watch that specific instance for any URL change and post
the URL to an external app
3. If the instance is closed, post a notification to an external
app.
I don't understand why DDE support is withdrawn from Netscape 6?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
