Arora is a simple cross platform web browser. Currently Arora is a very basic browser whose feature list includes things like "History" and "Bookmarks". It does not have support for netscape plugins, so no flash support until Qt 4.5. But it is small, less than 10,000 lines of code, very fast, lean, mean and loads of fun to hack on.

To make rapid progress possible, we try to keep the code relatively easy to understand, straightforward algorithms and data structures are used when possible. Consistent code styling, clear, maintainable code, and we continue to improve names and code structure to aid understanding.

Thank you tulrich for blogging (and creating ?) the Google Earth FireFox Plug-in and the Google Earth Monster Milk Float Game !

You can write Google Earth Plug-in apps using Javascript, including game-like things. It's pretty fun. It also integrates smoothly with Google Maps API sites; basically you just enable 3D, and most things will magically work.

Run your favorite browser and in the address bar replace "http://www.vox.com/" with "javascript:document.body.innerHTML=navigator.userAgent" and you should see a UserAgent value similar to one of the following:

Had a fantastic day yesterday at the Adobe OnAir AIR 2008 Tour in London.

Adobe AIR brings Rich Internet Applications to the desktop of all three OS's ! You can use AIR to turn HTML file(s) and JavaScript file(s) into an executable for ANY platform - its a bit like "JVM + FileSystem + SQLite" !

AIR uses WebKit and is therefore compatible with your favorite JavaScript framework and even Google Gears !

Install the runtime, and check out the newest applications.

• Install Adobe AIR
• Download Adobe AIR SDK

Did you know that every VOX account has a hidden link library at http://your-vox-name.vox.com/library/links/
eg http://osde-info.vox.com/library/links/

You can only add links by using the VOX JavaScript bookmarklet

javascript:
(
 function()
 {
  var s = document.createElement(%22script%22);
  s.setAttribute(%22src%22,%22http://www.vox.com/services/submit/link.js%22);
  document.body.appendChild(s);
 }
)
()
;

Javascript (double-click function to any word on the page)

HEAD
<script src="http://www.thefreedictionary.com/dict.js"></script>

BODY
<body ondblclick="dictionary()">

That's it.

Now when the visitors double-click any word on your site they will get an instant definition.

As recommended by http://www.thefreedictionary.com/lookup.htm

PS If anyone knows how to add JavaScript to VOX please let me know !
