I've implemented a very simple plugin for Safari that launches helper
applications for certain mime-types based on the example found here:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/safari/samples/SamplePlugInProject.dmg
I still have one problem. Please, let me know if this isn't the
appropriate forum for it. After the application launches from a full
browser window, the Safari window is left blank. (My plugin is displayed
and it does nothing.) Since, Safari users don't to get a blank page when
an app is launched, this is bad from a UI point of view. I can't use
JavaScript to go to the previous page because, although JavaScript is
available, JavaScript history is not. It appears that, other than by
using JavaScript, there's no way to control Safari using the plugin API.
Is there a reliable way to tell the current Safari window to go back (or
get its history) using another API? If so, can you point me to some
documentation?
Thanks in Advance,
Nick
