BBMiniBrowser | Cancel.

I’ve been playing around with this stuff. A small browser for BB which can display correctly Vietnamese Composed Unicode.

But unfortunately, it’s over my ability. It’s so complicated and costs tons of time to do so.

Basically i can make it connect to website, grab content, filter and process some html tags such as <p>, <br>, <a> …

Can pick out URL links and make them ready to be clicked on to go.

The pasge can be rendered almost 90% correctly Vietnamese Composed Unicode. But ofcos’ the UI is ugly since there is only text and text.

But the big problem is whether it’s worth to code an application which just displays correctly Vietnamese Composed Unicode and that’s all. Unable to handle JavaScript, POST/GET methods. Can’t do anything except for displaying text?

I guess it’s not worth to do. But at least i’ve leanred much from these tryings recently.

Instead, i will step to XML processing which is easier and more logical. Then things can be controlled quite well compare to messy webpage contents.

Then XML and RSS would provide quite enough what i need, which is correctly displays Vietnamese Composed Unicode news text from internet.

So, XML is the next stuff. But not too soon. I will,  not right away.
