Making a browser with Rev

[Bill Marriott]

Jack,

Yes, with altBrowser you can do everything a professional browser could do 
quite nicely.... because you are actually using the professional browser. It 
basically enables you to embed either Internet Explorer (Windows) or Safari 
(Mac) into your Rev stack. It is not an alternative browser.

Rev itself can capture the HTML of any web page and even does some basic 
rendering -- text styles and inline graphics -- within its text fields. But 
it won't handle anything like tables or CSS or DHTML. As for writing your 
own browser from scratch in Rev? That would be a massive undertaking no 
matter what language/platform you used! :)
