Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I want to use the Mozilla control over the IE one?

Frequently Asked Questions
You get a standards compliant HTML rendering engine with full support for HTML, XML, CSS 1, CSS 2 (and some CSS 3), DOM 1 & 2 with optional support for SVG, MathML and XSL. Contrast this with the half-baked implementation of these standards in IE 4, 5, & 6. Small distributable - Anywhere from 4 megabytes (for the control plus embedding distribution) compared to 30Mb+ for IE. No redistribution licence - You don't have to register your product with Mozilla.

Can I use the control in Mozilla Firefox?

Frequently Asked Questions
Some builds of Firefox may contain the control, but Firefox statically links most of the GRE runtime into firefox.exe. The control won't work without the runtime. From Mozilla 1.5 onwards the control is installed in the GRE directory but see the last question which explains why the control does not work from the Mozilla installer executable.

Who wrote the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The control was written by Adam Lock with contributions / feedback from Alexandre Trémon, Neoplanet, Custom Browser and numerous developers and testers. The control makes indispensable use of the superb Gecko rendering engine, and credit for the speed and standards compliance that the control has is entirely due to the authors of this and other parts of Mozilla.
Related Questions

Will the control be released with Mozilla?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the control has been a regular feature of Mozilla releases for the last few years. If you intend to use the control from Mozilla, use the zipped up version of Mozilla, not the executable installer. The installer, puts the gecko runtimes in a separate location from the chrome and other files that the control needs so it does not function properly.

Related Questions

How can the Mozilla control be binary compatible with the IE control?

Frequently Asked Questions
ActiveX (or rather COM) is a binary standard for defining the APIs that a control exposes. It allows controls and other types of object to be interchangeable as long as they implement the same APIs and function in the same way through those APIs. The Mozilla control attempts to do exactly this, emulating Internet Explorer control as closely as possible so that host applications cannot tell them apart.

Related Questions

Why does the Mozilla installer break the control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The installer now splits Mozilla into two directories - a GRE directory under "Program files\Common files\Mozilla.org\GRE" contains the Gecko runtime engine and the actual Mozilla directory (specified by the user during installation) contains the chrome and application DLLs. The mozctlx.dll is installed in the GRE directory but cannot locate the chrome it needs (which is in the Mozilla part). Therefore it breaks.
Related Questions

How difficult is it to port some existing code from IE to the Mozilla control?

Frequently Asked Questions
The stated aim of the Mozilla control is to be as compatible with the IE control as possible but certain advanced features may be difficult to implement using the Gecko rendering engine. In particular this means DOM manipulation, particularly using the large number of IE interfaces introduced with IE 5 & 6. Therefore it depends on the complexity of your application.

WHY WOULD ANYBODY WANT TO CONTROL ANOTHER'S MIND?

Ritual abuse FAQ
A person who is programmed, but unaware of this fact, can be made to do many dangerous or illegal things. Such people make perfect spies, for example, because they are unable to reveal their mission if captured. They simply don't know what they did, or were supposed to do, and cannot give any information. They would also make good assassins, drug runners, money launderers, sexual slaves for prostitution, pornography, or blackmail, etc. - anything that requires secrecy.
