The WebKit binding code is some of the more complex code in JavaFX. Rather than try to extend the script tag you could instead look at the code for the <object> tag and the old support for Netscape-style plugins.
https://github.com/openjdk/jfx/tree/master/modules/javafx.web/src/main/native/Source/WebCore/plugins I've looked at this in the past to investigate embedding of arbitrary JavaFX nodes into a web page. It doesn't look particularly unfeasible as there's still a lot of old code lying around that used to do exactly that, it's just not used much anymore. However wiring it up to the Java level would require a fairly adventurous programmer with good knowledge of C++, rendering engines and JavaFX internals. On Mon, May 11, 2020 at 14:17:07, Rony G.
