Hi,

are you aware of project "broadway"[1] by Alexander Larsson[2]? It's an HTML5 
rendering backend for GTK. Am I too naive when I'm hoping to run emacs with 
its help in the browser?

[2] http://blogs.gnome.org/alexl/category/gtk/

Best regards,

Thomas Koch, http://www.koch.ro

It is an achivement, but I don't quite see the point, you still need an Emacs binary run locally.
Maybe Emacs can be run on a server and the browser pointed to it, probably a security nightmare.

But Emacs does not use Gtk+-events, but has a rather non-standard event handling that depends on X11. I suspect that is a showstopper.

The Secure Shell plugin for chrome is one way to do that today:
