Hi, I just tried DMDScript with IE. Cool thing! Can someone explain to me how the browser DOM is brought into the script-engine so that it can be accessed? Is there a generic way to provide object-models to the script-engine? Could this approach be used to bring the IE DOM into other programs as well?

That is a very complex subject. The answer is to do google searches on "script host", "IActiveScriptHost" and similar things. Unfortunately, the info on how to do this is spread all over the net, there's no one source.

Thanks for the anchor to start with. I'll dig around a bit. Maybe it's good idea to write a FAQ about this ;-)) Robert

Well, at least what I have found is a text from Netscape about embedding their JS engine into C programs. When we will see D embeddabel DMScript engine? Wouldn't this be cool? IMO when adding script capabilities to a program the scripting language should use an existing standard... Robert

It is a cool idea and one I intent to pursue.

Great! I hope we get access to the D object-model or something like this, so interfacing a D program with ECMAScript will become easy. IMO a very powerful combination not seen anywhere else yet. Any chance to get my own hands on this topic for experimenting? Robert

It's going to have to wait a bit, I don't think I can get to it until the end of the summer.
