<div>Hello Michael,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Why not use an existing webkit (like Qt or Chrome) and
incorporate it into Lazarus? That would leave the
responsibility for compatibility with HTML5, CSS3, mp3
encode, webGL, file manipulation, , support for
cross-platform etc. for the webkit.<br>

<div>Please see this nice project:</div>

What would it take - in the form of a bounty - to get a community
wide project to get Lazarus a *real* HTML5 browser for OSX and
Linux? I assume windows is already just an Active-X component.<br>
<br>
Any ideas? I can't stress this enough that it's like living in the
technical dark-ages without access to developing front-ends without
rich text and more often for me now, web apps.<br>

The developer speaks of Linux version being in the works which could be because the backend probably depends on Delphi. Delphi as usual continues to be Lazarus and FreePascal's worse enemy.<br>
</div></div><br clear="all"></div>My own feeling is that getting the Lazarus form builder to generate Pascal code rather than, or as well as the .lfm files is the first step. Then Javascript next, QML or whatever. The Delphi legacy is still hanging over Lazarus. Phil Hess did something that could translate a subset of the components in.lfm files into Javascript some years ago and that may be a start.<br>
