Basically, Sherlock has a way to view HTML code and also show the results of it. Is this perhaps an indication from Apple, or is it a 'feature' of Sherlock?

Why is there two buttons "Get HTML" and "Render" if you're able to view both of them in one window?

Where did you get those tool bar icons of "HTML" etc. etc?

Thanks.

Basically, this is also a result of the HTMLRenderingRoutines that are included in the Cocoa toolset. It is no big big work of Sherlock 3, if you happen to think that. Drag a HTML file on TextEdit and it will render it too.

Thanks.<hr /></blockquote>Sherlock-->Preferences-->Subscriptions. Its the Apple Dev. Channel. that is showing those terminal-like icons.

Two questions.

(1) Why does it render so badly? Notice the blue-on-blue links on the left-hand side.

(2) How useful is this Cocoa framework? Is it getting better? Will there be a time when adding a "web browser" widget to your application becomes a mere question of drag and drop (just like today you can write full-featured WYSIWYG word processors with zero lines of code)?

I am assuming that it doesn't support CSS, remember OmniWeb's lacking CSS support? The support that does exist was written by them. This is not meant to be a full on rendering engine for use in a browser. For 2.. you can use it for something like the Help Viewer or if you want to easily populate a NSTextView by feeding it HTML to render.. Simply stuff like bold, italics, maybe a simple table.. etc..
