Your in for a very long ride. I will not actually explain this right now, but this is currently what I am working.
Not to be discouraging, but this is not generally a task for a beginner as there are many things that require advanced knowledge. I have been working on improving WAPUniverse for about 3 years now, and I still do not know everything that I need to know. First you need the network layer. The layer that will actually handle all communications, such as HTTP. Second you need a layer that will handle all of the incoming data. This involves parsing HTML (and other markup languages) and handeling (decoding) image formats. Third, you need a presentation layer. This would involve rendering a web page as well as displaying images. This also includes JavaScript. Fourth, you need a interaction layer. This layer handles things such as a user tapping on a link up to form objects. JavaScript falls in this layer too. Unfortunatly creating a web browser is not something as simple as following steps. I would recommend working on learning and looking at examples that relate to the technologies that you want to use, as well as other open source browsers (you can look at desktop browser such as Firefox, but they will not help you much). You might also try porting Apple's WebCore (based off of KHTML) and the JavaScriptCore (based off of KJS). This will not be an easy task either. Creating a web browser is a very tough and long process (I know from experience). I wish you the best of luck with it though. I will note though that you might not get anything as good as Internet Explorer on the first try (nobody, not even ACCESS has gotten this good yet, but they are close), but don't give up (I almost did, and I am glad I didn't) :) For startersm you might look at WAPUniverse, http://www.wapuniverse.com/. It is an open source (GNU GPL) PalmOS Mobile Internet Browser.
