Hv3 Web Browser
Hv3 is a Web browser that uses Tkhtml 3 as its rendering engine. It supports almost all CSS 1.0 and some CSS 2.1, HTML (frames and regular documents), tabbed browsing, and many image types. Development is done using Tcl/Tk and C.

Recent releases
- 08 Oct 2007 07:38
Changes: This release fixes many of the long-standing performance problems in Hv3. It also adds support for wrapping CJK text and a brand new bookmarks manager that integrates full-text search.
- 13 Sep 2007 11:05
Changes: Changes include adding ECMAScript (Javascript) support, a bookmarks manager, limited support for XHTML constructions, support for more encoding names, and more or less correct wrapping of Chinese/Japanese/Korean text. There are many improvements and bugfixes to the core HTML/CSS rendering support, and more.
- 09 Jan 2007 03:38
Changes: This release fixes some problems with copying text from or searching for strings within documents containing non-ASCII characters. Support for selecting text by the word has been added and HTTP "Location" headers are now supported. Right-clicking on the document now produces a context sensitive menu. <table> parsing has been standardized to include <tbody> and co. and <iframe> elements are now supported. There were also minor bugfixes and optimizations to layout and document parsing.
- 24 Nov 2006 03:43
Changes: The main change for this release is that Hv3 is now distributed as a single executable, not multiple files. It also fixes many things, including the appearance of <SELECT> elements, HTTP "Refresh" and "Location" headers, the "white-space" property, various properties applied to the <BODY> and <HTML> elements, and some resource leaks. Some CPU-time based optimizations were made.

No, wait...ctrl-t does work.
My bad...I must have hit "shift-t" the first time, or something.

Okay, not just pages I made.
Some stuff loads great and looks awesome! (like Freshmeat and the hv3 page), but some stuff just doesn't load (hv3 says "done" but I see pure whiteness...very zen...not very useful).
Google doesn't load.
Perhaps I should be e-mailing you, or something, rather than commenting here.
In any case, I still think this is awesome.
Thanks,
Tony

Duh, can't be the css, because the hv3 page has css and loads fine.
Also, my business (baldwinlinguas.com) site loads fine.
Can't figure out why it doesn't load stuff on the linguas os site
(transprocalc is hosted on the same acct and uses the same css...maybe it's something in that specific css?).
Anyway, everything else I've looked at looks great!
This is really a nice project, and not something hashed together either.
I mean, tabs, responds to the usual keyboard shortcuts (ctrl-l, anyway, works, ctr-t doesn't open tabs...)
I'm impressed.

I'm looking at your project page using hv3.
This has got to be the fastest browser to install and run.
I think I might be able to use this for something I'm trying to build,
a little online dictionary look-up tool.
for some reason, however, (css maybe?) it shows nothing at
http://www.linguasos.org and http://www.transprocalc.org
(I build those, one is my linux distro, the other my translation project mgmt tool, also written in tcl).
I'm going to be playing with your code.
I will also be watching the project.
Thanks for the nice work.
