Well, Browse is a python activity that uses pyxpcom to access the xulrunner functionality from python. Browse uses the browser functionality in xulrunner because it is a browser ;), but your activity could use the html editor functionality that is in xulrunner. You would code the UI in pygtk very similarly to Browse, and just call xulrunner through pyxpcom. > Not sure which one is the best for you, perhaps going with #2 may be > easier?

It can be accessed though js or pyxpcom, so it would work both as #2 and #3. Didn't knew it had support for tables, so I stand corrected.
