HTMLView: What browsers being used?

BlitzMax Forums/MaxGUI Module/HTMLView: What browsers being used?

What browser engines are being used for the HTMLView? Such as, on Mac, the WebKit engine? Linux, Gecko? Windows, MSIE? Thanks, ~Garrett

Yes, No, and Yes. For linux, it's a hand-crafted thing that comes with FLTK.

What Brucey said... The FLTK HTMLView wraps around an Fl_Help_View, which is a rudimentary parser and layout engine designed for displaying software documentation. As such it doesn't support CSS, Javascript, Embed tags or anything else that doesn't fall into the basic HTML standard. Even with its small amount of functionality, it was in a pretty bad state, but markcw has been doing a lot of work on it recently to improve the layout and stability of the widget. I try to keep the MaxGUI SVN up-to-date with the latest of Mark's fixes, so make sure you are accessing MaxGUI through SVN if you plan to use HTMLViews on Linux.

Thanks a bunch for the answers. Was hoping that it wasn't using MSIE on Windows.
