[java-dev] rendering HTML in Jitter

Sat Nov 24 13:46:27 MST 2007

Hello,

I've just finished an initial version of a mxj/Jitter class which renders html in a Jitter matrix. 

Available here:
http://miajo.co.uk/?MaxMSP:mxj_jithtmlrender

It needs Cobra/Lobo to be installed (see the README in the distribution) and the help file uses jhno's jsscrollbar.

Cobra/Lobo:

jhno:

I made it for relatively simple text formatting but it seems fairly robust (if slow) with more complex pages (see the Wikipedia example in the help file). I'd be keen for some feedback if there are any serious anomalies (there are quite a few kludges in there to get it to work). I know for example, that text color tags in the <body> tag don't change the body text color (have a look at jhno's homepage for proof) and CSS generally works but not with background images set using CSS (see my miajo homepage for proof of that). 

I'd be especially grateful to know/if how it works on XP (I don't have access to an XP machine with Max/MSP having moved jobs back to Mac-centricity!)

Regards,
Martin
