From my other development interests I have been looking into Apple's
WebKit, and Apple's/opens source WebCore and JavaScriptCore.
From what I have read and understood, OmniWeb is probably the only
browser that will support accessing the Document Object Model (DOM) for
some time. Safari may also be able to do it some time in the future
since the Safari developers are obviously talking to the
webcore/javascriptcore developers.
Apple has been promising a stable public interface for WebCore for
quite some time now and without the delivery of it accessing the
WebCore Document Object Model (DOM) is going to be difficult, plus
dealing with updates of WebCore will be very difficult because all of
the interface can change. Any web browser that uses WebKit will not
have access to the DOM since WebKit doesn't provide access to WebCore.
Omni has made the effort to create their own interface for WebCore and
support this which gives them full access to the DOM. If that is the
functionality you want then I think Omni is your best chance for
putting on the pressure.
