Html Viewer 3 (hv3) is a powerful yet minimalist web browser that uses Tkhtml3 as a rendering engine and SEE (Simple ECMAScript Engine) [L1 ] to interpret scripts. The application itself is written in Tcl. Currently it is at alpha stage. Please try it out, then report bugs or make suggestions.
Hv3 already has a good level of CSS standards compliance: it passes the Acid 2 test [L2 ]
KJN: it is very close to passing the Acid 2 test - in this case it does a much better rendering than my Firefox 2.0.0 browser!
It does pass the acid2 test. If you know of a reason why this is not true, post a bug report.
KJN: I've tried again with the hv3-linux-nightly-08_0203.gz binary from the home site, and it is indeed a 100% pass - very nice work. Previously I had tried the version hv3-20071223.etk from the eTcl site: this adds a red bar to the bottom left of the face.
escargo 13 Mar 2008 - There is now an Acid3 test (described here: [L3 ] and run here: [L4 ]). I now see looking at the hv3 bug list that hv3 is in the process of confronting Acid3.

MHo:
DK77 Proxy support is incomplete: http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/cvstrac/tktview?tn=277
escargo 19 Mar 2008 - It appears that hv3 does not support https. I couldn't find anything on the web site that seemed to address the issue.
