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"/>
