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
