While it probably isn’t impossible, there are probably ways of achieving
what you want to do which are orders of magnitude less difficult than
what (I think) you are proposing.
If you can give us a bit more info about what you want to achieve I
expect there will be plenty of suggestions about how to achieve it.
I think the closest you could get easily is to deliver a Ruby/Tk app via
the web you might be able to use exerb http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=exerb to create a downloadable
version of your program.
Incidentally hello from another Birmingham (u.k) based rubyist - that’ll
be two of us then.
cheers
Jon

I am looking for a way to embed Ruby/Tk apps in a web page.
Please tell me if this is possible and if so how.
Thanks

Using the broadway plugin from the X consortium, it should be quite
possible. I’ve never actually made it work, since I don’t use windows,
but the idea is that you host the app on a server (it runs there), and
displays via X11 protocol to a plugin inside a web browser.

I have a simple test app which does a graph. The full app is an interface to a C++ class wrapped by SWIG, and turned into a dynamic library. I guess that is going to have to run in the server.

Fun, eh?
Thanks for the idea.
That should be feasible as I don’t expect a lot of simultaneous users.
That’s the best reference. It’s a start, anyway. It’s not a simple
thing to get going, but if you’re working with platforms that support
it, go for it.

Does anyone know of a Broadway plug-in for PC/Windows/Netscape?
iirc Tcl/Tk plugins exist for some browsers, see for example browsex.com. Might be possible to use for your app, of course
it would be much nicer to have Ruby/Tk plugins.
