With only this small patch its possible to use spidermonky and netsurf can work at usefull speed on pages that use java script buttons, menus ?. sure 1.7 is from firefox 2.0, but i guess in java script are not important enhance done, that is need in 98% of web pages. I think firefox 2 can still show most of webpages today. If it is so easy, wy it is not implement earlier, before the rewrite in the buildsystem ?. maybe netsurf can build a libjscript out of this sources automatic. I guess a working netsurf with java script attract more developers to help on netsurf, because then it is a full browser that can show most of the pages. currently i guess netsurf can only show 10% of web pages correct. and even a old java script can boost that maybe to 80%. If java on netsurf can work this way, i am motivate to try to get the MUI support working with newest netsurf backend API But i hope that in Future not many changes in Backend API are need, i have not so much time to do porting again and again for changed API.
