The Apple Developer Connection site has several Xcode-based example applications. A good one to start with is probably the CallJS example (http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/samplecode/CallJS/). A year or so ago I ported this as an MFC application (most current version at http://whtconstruct.blogspot.com/2009/06/calljs-updated.html). > - are apple licenses very though on open source academic projects ? You cannot redistribute the support libraries used by Apple with their port of WebKit. This includes ports of CoreFoundation, CFNetwork, and CoreGraphics to Windows. You can use the redistributable WinCairo port of WebKit, either by building it from the WebKit sources, or by using Appcelerator Titanium project. I think there's a Sourceforge project that uses the WinCairo port but I don't have the link available at the moment. > - i have zero knowledge of cocoa & objC, which is why I was hoping to use > Carbon.

I think Cocoa is the easiest approach. There's even an example Cocoa app that lets you build a "web browser" in three lines of code. If all you need to do is display an application frame with WebKit sitting in the middle, Cocoa is a piece of cake. I'd invest the time to learn Cocoa -- it's easy, fun, and well worth it. -Brent _______________________________________________ webkit-help mailing list [email protected] http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-help
