Hi everyone My name is Mack Stevenson and I am developing a specialized networking app for our company's intranet which will basically allow remote visualization/modification of mechanical engineering projects, besides some sort of basic "technical chalk-board" (or "poor-man's CAD") functionality to allow easier communication between team members. (Before you start asking yourselves what this might have to do with gecko :-) Last week management asked me to add support for viewing at least HTML 4/CSS, and after some thinking I decided to give gecko a try. So here I am. :-) After browsing the docs at http://www.mozilla.org/newlayout/doc/, I still have some pretty general (and lame) questions, since what I read seemed a highly detailed description of the internals of gecko, not really what I am looking for at this time: - We are working on Linux 2.2, and the output device is the VESA framebuffer; - Our entire project is coded in C, not C++; in how far will this make my life harder? - How should I proceed? :-) How does gecko _work_? Does it provide me a C API I can simply invoke once I have provided gecko pointers to working text and pixel drawing routines? Or does it work in a completely different way? I am a fairly competent C programmer (at least I think I am), but I really have very little experience outside my field (computer assisted engineering), and have never really reused code other than by simply making use of pre-existing libraries. I would really appreciate your help. Thank you, Mack _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
