iCab v1.9 Preview

"New Features in iCab Preview 1.9:

• iCab now supports all the plug-ins which are available for Netscape Communicator. iCab looks for the plug-ins in a folder named "Plug-ins" which must be in the iCab folder. You can also put an Alias of an already existing "Plug-ins" folder (Netscape or MSIE) into the iCab folder, if you want to share the plugins between different browsers. With the help of plug-ins iCab is now able to support shockwave/flash for example. In the preferences dialog it's possible to switch on/off all the plug-ins and you can also switch on/off certain file types which are supported by the plug-ins. So if several plug-ins support the same file types you can choose which one should be called for these files.
• InScript (iCab's implementation of JavaScript/ECMAScript) can now switched on. But don't expect too much, the JavaScript implementation is not yet finished. Most parts of the DOM (Document Object Model), that means the possibility for a script to access all the HTML elements, are still missing. So some JavaScript based pages will work, but most won't. This is why InScript is still switched off by default. We recommend to keep it switched off unless you know HTML and JavaScript very well. In the iCab archive you'll find a JavaScript example which shows what's already working.
• If you hold down the Option key (ALT) while clicking the zoom box of a window, iCab will zoom the window to fullscreen.
• The Favorites toolbar can now contain folders (please create new folders or remove existing ones in the hotlist window). iCab will display the content of these folders in popup menus.
• In the contextual menu there's a new entry called "Link Manager". iCab will open a new window with two frames. The left frame will contain all the links of the current page. Clicking on these links will open them in the right frame.
• New menu entry in "File" menu: "Mail URL of the page".
• New option in Kiosk preferences: iCab can be forced to stay in Offline mode. Going online will be impossible if this option is switched on
• The Navigation toolbar can now contain a printer icon.
• There are now two "user defined" settings for fonts and text encodings.
• iCab now supports the Reopen Application Apple Event.
