Notes
This is a native browser component provided by the OS.
· On Windows it will generally be Internet Explorer.
· On Linux it will either be WebKit GTK or XUL Runner.
· The browser is currently disabled on OS X pending a bug fix within the Eclipse platform.
The web sites pointed to by the browser must NOT contain Java Applets.
Not all plug-ins will be available on all browsers. It is recommended that developers test their web pages inside of DashBoard on multiple platforms.
The browser is a heavyweight component and must not be used inside of a scrolling component.
The browser will cause rendering issues if it is clipped by other components.
Example
<browser url="http://www.rossvideo.com" height="400" width="1200"/>
