HTML Bridge browser compatibility?



Is the HTML Bridge renderer engine based on any known toolkit?  I'm asking because I'm using the Dojo toolkit for our plugin app, and dojo themes don't seem to work at all in the HTML bridge.  Now I'm starting to wonder what other aspects of our app ported to the HTML bridge may not work.  Stuff in our existing app that worked in Firefox, IE and Chrome doesn't work when rendered via the HTML Bridge interface.


If you have any information on about the HTML bridge browser compatibility, I would be glad to learn about it.


Thanks,


Eric

There is no special treatment of the HTML/Javascript source other than the fact that it is loaded inside an iFrame.  i.e. your browser handles everything. You should see errors in the Javascript console if something is not working.  May be the Dojo code doesn't like to run inside an iFrame?

Ok, then perhaps Dojo doesn't support IFRAMEs properly. Thanks for the suggestion.

I haven't determined the root cause 100%, but I think it may be related to me using the Dojo CDN source instead of providing a local Dojo library.  I'll try to go that route.
