It is possible. But very difficult. You'll have to filter all tags out, check which is the content of the tag and, when the tag is open, edit the text that is between the 2 tags. When it's a tag with attributes, you have to filter out every attribute and do what it's supposed to, etc...

It's possible, but certainly not easy to do.

Yeah, but only by using embedded client-side scripting (JavaScript, VBScript etc.). Which would require you to add yet more code to your HTML parser

16-colour PNGs pwn.

Nope - they all have their own rendering engine, hence all the fuelled debates over which is best!

There's the IE activex control, but I've never heard of that being used in DB.

You can't "code" a scroll bar in html, but you can use css and color codes to change the color.

You can also in html add a scrollbar to a <div> tag i think its <div overflow=scroll border="0"> or something like that (i did that from my head, but you can look that up.)

How do you make a scrollbar in darkbasic? Is there a sprite that moves the camera or anything?

and here`s a sample html code for it :

Yes, we are aware that it is possible to change the colour of an already existing scrollbar, but it is NOT possible to create one in pure HTML.

for that , just wanted to say to you that it is possible to make it without any dll`s in dbc , you have to make it read some lines (parse) and read coordinates and make them into preview) it would be a whole engine required and it woudn`t look exactly like in ie...

p.s. i made one simple html creator back there somewhere on this forums...
