Unregistered user I am currently experimenting with writing browser plugins, but it's just not working when I want to run the plug-in inside the browser window. It just ignores me, totally. The relevant WIMP messages are just not being sent.

I'm using an offline version of Fresco, which I suspect is the problem. Are there some mystical runes I need to type into a file somewhere, or is it more complicated than that?

Unregistered user I think Fresco is the problem. I looked at DrawPlug, and it says that I need Browse to use it...

I can get Fresco to do its thing if I open a file as a URL, it's just when I want to use the OBJECT or PLUGIN tags that it ignores me.

I'll have a delve with the messages and sys vars this evening, good idea.

Thanks.

Unregistered user Asking as someone that doesn't really know, couldn't you download the Oregano demo for this or doesn't it support these plugins?

Unregistered user You will need to have the relevant mimetype setup in !Internet.Files.MimeMap (usually found in !Boot.Resources), (and if testing on a webserver, make sure that the webserver is sending the correct mimetype as well).

It's probably worth checking that you have requested that the WIMP passes you the relevant messages and that you have the relevant system variables set correctly.

If you're looking for code, you can try http://www.movspclr.co.uk/software/internet.html#drawplug for an example plugin in BASIC (+a BASIC library for writing plugins), OSLib http://www.mk-net.demon.co.uk/oslib/ for a C veneer to the relevant calls and http://sudden.recoil.org/stronghelp/ for the relevant SH manuals.

Failing that, try news:comp.sys.acorn.programmer for further tips smile
