the idea is to interact with a browser window without actually being a part of the process - from another application (that is not neccessarily a browser). i consider this method to be least invasive. plugins have to be registered and unregistered, under windows, they tend to pollute the process memory space, since they sometimes load additional modules as well - besides that the underlying implementation for what i want to do has already been written to work cross-process. if i remember correctly, this is what microsofts COM idea was all about. but i guess, as another mail told me (i dont know whether this is really true), i am on my own when doing cross-process stuff with mozilla-based browsers. i wonder how firefox can seriously compete with IE then, from a programmers viewpoint? does XPCOM provide any interfaces and implementations for cross-process communication (proxy/stub dlls, the like) such as COM has? _______________________________________________ Mozilla-xpcom mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.mozilla.org/listinfo/mozilla-xpcom
