I have been asked to write a small introduction about the work i have been doing to integrate javascript. The handling of <script> elements has been added, this required a refactoring of code in desktop/browser.c to correctly handle script elements and attempt to execute them with the correct interpreter. The script implementation is functional but incomplete and probably ought to be split to add a full object factory for script interpreters. A decision on handling of <noscript> elements and how the parser options are set to handle these. A simple javascript abstraction has been added allowing for alternative javascript interpreters to be added in future. And an initial implementation added for the spidermonkey interpreter/jit (jsapi) this integration allows for javascript code to be correctly gathered and executed from script tags. What is now required is to add bindings to the javascript runtime for all the DOM operations including the so called DOM0 objects like the global window object and all the associated sub objects like navigator, console etc. I initially intended to use a tool to generate these bindings either from web IDL or from a DSL but it has become apparent that the existing tools (such as jsapigen) are grossly inadequate and rolling our own requires so much domain specific code that simply writing the bindings by hand with helper functions is massively less effort. The Makefile.defaults currently has NETSURF_USE_JS and NETSURF_USE_MOZJS set to NO thus disabling all javascript in normal builds, simply overriding these to AUTO in Makefile.config and ensuring you have the mozilla spidermonkey packages installed (libmozjs-dev or similar) should be enough to compile with javascript support Ongoing work is now concentrating on adding bindings and completing their implementation. Although there is no explicit dependency on specific versions of spidermonkey I am primarily basing my efforts on the 1.8.5 releases as this are the most common version found in distributions. -- Regards Vincent http://www.kyllikki.org/
