Since one of the intentions for Interactive HTML is to create library which
is usable among a
wide variety of browsers, it needs to be designed with a number of different
browser architectures in mind. To this end, the library is being developed
under the X implementations of two existing browsers:
NCSA'a
Mosaic for the X Window System,
version 5. Mosaic represents a base-line browser implementation; it
was the original browser upon which the WWW first started to become popular,
and is available on a wide variety of platforms. It incorporates
NCSA'a
HTML Widget, a publically available widget class for displaying
HTML, upon which browsers may be based.
The iHTML library has been incorporated into the 2.5 beta 5 version
of Mosaic, and uses the Python interpreter
for a scripting language.
The World Wide Web Consortium's
Arena is an experimental
browser which is used as a testbed for implementing new HTML features. It
is built on top of the latest version of
the WWW Consortium's
Reference Library,
providing a platform upon which to experiment and ensure conformance with
upcoming WWW standards.
There is not yet a version of Arena with the iHTML library.
