Ciao,

Let me introduce Ruby/GtkMozEmbed to you!

Ruby/GtkMozEmbed provides a Ruby binging to the GtkMozEmbed widget, a
Gtk+ widget that embeds a mozilla/firefox browser inside a widget. This
is the first public release.

To try this you'll need also Gtk+, Ruby/GTK 0.12.0 and mozilla 1.7.x.

And now for some links:

* Ruby/GtkMozEmbed 0.3 can be downloaded from:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=53614

* You will be able to find some samples here:
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?RubyGecko

* And the API docs here:
http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?Ruby%2FGtkMozEmbed

Cheers!
Mirko

How difficult is it to set the whole thing up without installing
modzilla. Is it possible to sutff a a few *.dll/*.so files into a
directory ?

I think this is possible, but you'll need a lot of mozilla libraries to
make it work. Installing Mozilla (or perhaps GRE) should be much easier.

Mirko, great work. I'll probably end up using this at some point.

oO(Oooh! I can use it to migrate my web-app to local seamlessly!)

Thank you Aredridel,
this thing of the local web-app sounds great. This makes me wonder if I
can also use this to do some kind of UI-testing on a web-app... umh...
perhaps, but this does not seam easy to do.

If you are interested there is also a samples section here:
* http://ruby-gnome2.sourceforge.jp/hiki.cgi?RubyGecko
with a simple WYSIWYM (What You See Is What You Meant) HTML editor and
webpage-thumbnailer.

Regards,
Mirko
