Thansk for reporting it. I will have a look at this.

Note that a new version has just been release (v0.2.1) that may solve this problem (I didn't check yet).

Regards.

Hi,

OK, I will have a look at this problem. (If you have a sample page for testing that is even better !).

About WebKit and Gecko, this is already in my todo, but I would like to integrate DebugBar and Companion.JS first to have a better testing system for IE. Then for sure, I will try to add WebKit and Gecko !

Thanks for the feedback and support.

I've got another idea to implement FireFox and Safari into IETester.



For FF:
=======
Adapt FF for embedding :
-------------------------
1a. Copy the "Mozilla FireFox" directory to make a save of the old content
1b. Change the settings so tabs are not authorized anymore.

Facultative :
--------------
2. Goto "chrome" directory and rename "browser.jar" into "browser.zip"
3. Unzip browser.zip
4. Edit chrome://browser/content/browser.xul to modify the window UI.
Warning : If you use a skinned Mozilla, it can be very painful.
5. Recompile browser.zip and rename to browser.jar

Capture FF windows and make your application the owner of theses :
-------------------------------------------------------------------
6. When you want to create a "Mozilla Tab", lauch firefox.exe, capture it by PID (process ID), get its mainwindow and embed this one in your application (some code for doing that are already availlable in many language in the web)

PS : I don't know if you can detect when the browser opens a new window with PID or not.




For Webkit :
===============
You can do similar things for Safari 3.1 or Swift, but you'll not be able to edit the main interface. Another solution is to use the Webkit.NET API used in Swift.



Other requests :
==================
* Make a context menu for tabs with these functions :
- Close this tab
- Close other tabs
- Refresh this tab
- Duplicate using IE 5.5
- Duplicate using IE 6.0
- Duplicate using IE 7.0
- Duplicate using IE 8.0
- ...

I'm progressing into the FireFox embeding.
I've done a first application that's capable to embed FireFox.

There's only two problems :
> If FireFox is already running (a true version of FireFox, as sample) I can't run my own FireFox version and so it fails
> All windows opened by FireFox (exept modal ones) are embedded, because there's no way to detect the difference between theses windows.

I'll post the code soon on Codes-Sources.com.

Regardes,
Fremy

These features have a great problem :
- XPCOM is only availlable to C++ and is very complicated to implement
- Mozilla ActiveX Control is out-dated (last engine supported: Gecko 2005).

So, if you want more, you need to use the "true" FireFox and embed it with the Windows-UI API.
