Hi,

I may have missed this point in the discussion, but would it not make more sense
to get a native HTML component (either from IPro or the THTML port) to the point
where it can provide everything needed? THTML (my favourite) already has fairly
solid layout and CSS support, so it should provide most things that are
required. What it does miss is proper DOM access and manipulation, but I'd
rather see efforts focused there than on CEF, which would require the same work
to wrap it on the pascal side anyway...

Depending on the scenario, we might get away without any Javascript support by
using PascalScript, iff there would be some interface between DOM and the host
application.

Certainly doing that would result in lots of reusable code for completely
different applications.
