Hi all

I maintain an application (for authoring psychology experiments) that has a 
fairly dynamic GUI that displays automatically upon an internal C++ 
representation. Currently, I code in C++ on windows only, but (being a mac user 
at home), i would like to port my application to mac as well. A friend 
suggested to separate the authoring engine from the experiment-runtime-engine, 
and write the former part as a web-page. I'm fairly experienced with javascript 
and DOM manipulations, so i figured that indeed this could be a very flexible 
and dynamic interface.

my questions however were : 
- is webkit intended to be part of a non-web-based application ?  Can I write 
an app that looks nothing at all like a browser, and simply displays an 
internal, locked, webpage ?
- can I load local data into that webpage ? My experiments are local files, 
opened, edited and saved on the users harddisk 
- is it possible to launch my runtime (with that local file), from my 
webkit-based application ?
- can I do this cross-platform on mac & windows ?
- am i being silly and should I stick to my own custom-drawn code, and port 
that to Carbon ?


many thanks in advance !

Jeroen
