Better than IE

[sheikh78]

How would you like to participate in a new project? This project involves many internet scripts such as HTML, XHTML, JAVASCRIPT, CSS 1.0, CSS 2.0. The project is mainly making a new web browsing control to implement in a new web browser. I have the webbrowser done, I would like some help with making the control. I am looking for anybody who has knowledge of text parsing, the languages mentioned above, and knows how to display images in this new control. If you would like to take part in this project just PM me.

Have you read all the W3C standards (I haven't)? Not just HTML and XHTML, but SGML and XML too? CSS? ECMAScript? Are you aware of every last RFC document that is relevant in those standards papers (I'm not)? What language are you planning to develop this in? Are you going to develop every last component yourself, or use libraries? If so what libraries are you going to use? What licence is this going to be developed and distributed under?

[sheikh78]

No I have not read the W3C standards, I'm planning to develop this in C#, I am going to develop every last component myself, and this is going to be an open source browser. Hmm...I'll have to think about the license it will be developed and distributed under...

First go about reading all the documentation Penagate suggested. Maybe the you'll realize the scope of what you suggest.

Next you'll need to look into developing core libraries for each language, a phrase for each language and then put it altogether in a pretty GUI so people will use it. You'll also need to focus on security and partial existing compatability not to mention innovation and adding features to contend with existing features.

Its not a task one person can do however determined, look at modifying the source code of Firefox instead, look at the source code and see how it works before you decide you decide to even try writing your own... its not a simple challenge there are loads of things to consider.

Could you point me in the direction of where I could see firefox's code? I know it is open sourced and what language is it developed in?

[penagate]

I am going to develop every last component myself

See you in 150 years.

C++.

See you in 150 years.

Yep. I'll have my grandchildren working on it.

[sheikh78]

Anyway what file would it be in which directory? So far I am in firefox-1.5.0.2-source\mozilla\browser\components\build. I don't know if one of the C++ is the browser. I am going to keep looking on their website though.

[penagate]

Dude, the browser is all of it.

[sheikh78]

Got it.
