In many cases, the browser-widget could be used as a much simpler alternative to implementing custom widgets based on our javascript client. The most important features (setText, execute, browser-functions) are already present, but some are still missing.

While i doubt something changed, another look at Bug 243743 would not hurt.
Comment 2 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2010-11-22 10:34:10 EST 
Browser is also missing the getBrowserType() method. It would not be difficult to implement, but i currently see no need to do it.
Comment 3 Tim Buschtoens CLA 2010-11-22 10:39:20 EST 
There should also be an easy way to use resources (like scripts and images) from the bundle within the Browser widget document, idealy single-sourcable. Loading a document into the browser itself is possible by reading it into a string and then use setText, though i find that a bit tedious. But i'm not sure how to easily get a resource to use in a script or image tag.

Closing the Bug. We implemented most features that might reasonably be used to implement custom-widgets/mashups.
