Hi John and All,
Congratulations to all who helped achieve the embossing milestone.
On the subject of linking the menu items with the SWT browser control's
content, I don't know about Java, but in Objective-C, we can use the Javascript
bridge to make calls to Javascript functions from Objective-C and call
Objective-C methods from Javascript.
I am not sure if SWT's browser control supports something similar.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Alex,
