REBOL Web Browser Plugin

Allows REBOL applications to run within a standard web browser window.

News flash 16-June-2006: Plugin 2.6.2 For IE, Firefox/Mozilla, Opera

REBOL Technologies now provides the REBOL/Plugin, a new web browser plugin module for Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox, and other browsers (currently running on Windows OS, but we plan to support OSX, Linux, BSD and others in the future). The plugin enables Internet developers to quickly create and deploy lightweight browser-hosted REBOL applications that run within the framework of normal web pages.

The REBOL/Plugin is based on REBOL/View, allowing applications to make use of REBOL's unique Visual Interface Dialect (VID) to create high-quality user interfaces that utilize the full power of REBOL. Web applications written in REBOL are smaller and less complicated that those written in other language systems, making web-based applications easier to create and maintain as well as faster to download and update.

Technical Information

The REBOL/Plugin installs automatically (just one click) when a web page references a REBOL-based application. The plugin module is tiny (only 346 KB), making it quick to download, even over telephone-based modems. The plugin also enforces strict security limits to prevent abusive scripts from running unchecked, and also includes a default file sandbox to restrict file and directory accesses.
