Try out my web browser ...

I suggest you remove the "my" from the sentence.

Sorry, but thats not much of a web browser, its just a poorly done set of buttons stuck around the Internet Explorer ActiveX control. I''ve done better than that in 5 minutes using Delphi (adding an intergrated browser to an existing application of mine)

Sorry man, anyone can write this browser thingy.

the thing is you are not learning anything about communication on the internet. all you are doing is calling some functions that do all the work for you. you age is not an excuse, you are using it as a crutch.

a web browser that you actually created that only used yoru own rendering engine (even if it was text only with no coloring) would have been better then this. at least you created everything and not let someone else do all the work.

changes? write your own browser. if thats too tough, then pick something smaller to code and work yoru way up. because if it takes you only a day to "create" this web browser then you definatly did not accomplish much. good apps take time to create, and as such you should learn to spend the time needed to create a good app. i have seen other browsers that use the ie renderer, but they clearly specify that they are using it. on top of it since you are realy just creating the gui (and not learning anything about making a program to view internet sites), the gui should be very well done with extra features like tabbed window interface, easily organizable favorites bar, turn images on and off while browsing, etc.

While you''re at it, can you try the web browser That I didn''t write a few days ago as my pet project?

What the fuck are you on you bunch of elitist dickheads? This guy didn't say he was writing a replacement for IE - he said "Try out my web browser which i made so i could learn how to make a program be able to view internet sites". He's a beginner. Get it? He. Is. A. Beginner. He was also careful to point that out in his post.

I'm sure you take great pleasure in boasting about your "abilities", but frankly, comparing them to a beginners' is pathetic. How 'bout you start a thread entitled "WOW! 10 years coding experience and I can do better than a newbie!" For god's sake offer some constructive criticism at least.

I think this guy has done a really good job with the browser. Sure, he used an ActiveX control to do the grunt work, but wtf do you use for drawing 3D graphics? Do you write our own renderer? You guys disgust me.

[EDIT:] BTW, DarkEldar: Nice job. Keep up the good work.

I agree with Landsknecht. You guys are being much too hard on him. If you wan''t to offer him your opinion or feedback, fine, but don''t fucking flame him over it. Besides, knowing how to use the ActiveX IE control can be very useful in many cases (look at Napster or the @Home browser). I don''t think DarkEldar77 set out to make a full web browser anyway; I think he just wanted to make a simple Windows application that does something.
