Now THAT'S a neat idea....MozillaZine just reported that the Gecko engine had been successfully ported to Java, so it's certainly in the realm of possibility for Squeak.

You might also consider the complementary idea - using Mozilla as a plugin to Squeak, so that it can do all of the hard work of a modern, fully-capable web browser, with Squeak providing the rendering and front-end.
Hi all:
I've been playing around with the most recent CVS builds of Mozilla (www.mozilla.org) and I had a thought yesterday...since Mozilla is completely open source, it would seem the ideal browser to build some kind of Squeak plugin for.
I realize there is an ActiveX plugin floating around out there, but for us non-Windoze types it doesn't help a whole lot. I'm just thinking it might be an ideal way to promote Squeak, the same way Netscape promoted Java. And the thought of everyone having access to Squeak Pages in their web browsers just makes me smile too...
