Hi again, it seems we are mixing three types of scripting here: 1 scripting from html ( what your LiveConnect is about, if i read this correctly... ) 2 out-of-process scripting, meant as a way of extending an application, similar to plugins.. ( what geiseri's KScript is about ) 3 user-visible scripting, meant as an alternative to point'n'click (what i was talking about in other mails.. ) Of course there are similarities, but the distinction should be made. 1 implies security considerations, whereas 2 and 3 don't have those, and stuff like that... (Just to keep the discussion logical, and to not start mixing things... bye domi -- Dominique Devriese http://users.pandora.be/frit/domi.gpg >> Visit http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel#unsub to unsubscribe <<
