Re: Advice for embeding an application in Firefox

Thank you for the answer.

As I am not sure you really did understand what I want to do, I'm just going
to explain a little more, in order to be sure of what to do.

What I want to do is to embed a real terminal, and I would like to be able
to run any application from this terminal. So I don't want an emulation, I
want the real xterm, or the real gnome-terminal. I am not interested in
doing a fake term, there are already lots of it in javascript. Actually,
what I would like to do is to be able to replace any text field by a vim
instance, so I would be able to edit it using the real vim shortcuts, and
not a crappy emulation in javascript. So I think embedding a terminal would
do the trick, and could be usefull to run other apps. I've been told there
are nice things to do with the xembed protocol :
http://standards.freedesktop.org/xembed-spec/xembed-spec-0.5.html. I was
also told to look at plugger http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html.

I thought (but you seem to be saying I am wrong) that embedding an
application is kind of "generic", that's why I was asking on this mailing
list. Considering this explanation, do you have another advice?

Best Regards,
Christophe-Marie
