Html Viewer 3 (hv3) is a powerful yet minimalist web browser that uses [Tkhtml3] as a rendering engine and SEE (Simple ECMAScript Engine) [http://www.adaptive-enterprises.com.au/~d/software/see/] 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.
* '''Home:''' http://tkhtml.tcl.tk/hv3.html
* A version of hv3 for [eTcl] is available from http://www.evolane.com/software/etcl/index.html
Hv3 already has a good level of CSS standards compliance: it passes the Acid 2 test [http://www.webstandards.org/files/acid2/test.html]
''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: [http://www.webstandards.org/action/acid3/]
and run here: [http://acid3.acidtests.org/]). ''I now see looking at the hv3 bug list that hv3 is in the
process of confronting Acid3.''

[MHo]:
* Where can I specify the '''proxy'''?
* Without support for a proxy autoconfig script ('''proxy.pac'''), usage is problematic
[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.
