Hello, I've been wanting to add a proof of concept feature to a browser, and have been looking at the source of WebKit to find what I need to modify. The core functionality of what I've been trying to create is the ability to create two views, with potentially different clip sizes and different scroll positions of the same content. The initial goal is to have two side-by-side "frames" (not proper HTML frames, but two Safari views of content alongside each other) that are independently scrollable and whose content area is now half the width of the original page. If I highlight content, fill input fields or navigate through on one view, the other should refresh also.
My initial stab at the problem, I tried adding a RenderBlock to two distinct RenderViews and tried messing with the RenderBlock hierarchy, but that just led me to core dumps. I also looked at creating multiple WebFrameViews and WebDynamicScrollBarsViews, but that led to similar results. Can someone point me in a better direction? The ideal scenario would be to create a Safari plugin (if that functionality is even able to be embedded in a plugin) with an added feature to split the current view in two. Hacking the source directly would be acceptable also. Thank you in advance, Yan
