WebViews don't have a "security level" in the sense of IE; if the client (your app) wishes to apply certain security measures, it can do so by using setting the WebPreferences object of the web view to allow/ disallow javascript, java, allow/disallow plugins (all or nothing), and the client can also use a WebPolicy delegate to do things like conditional loading, etc.

Many of the WebPreferences attributes for the WebView can be set in Interface Builder as well. If your users are having a particular problem with the web views not doing something with Java/Javascript/ Plugins, make sure these are checked ON first.

Folks,
Disclaimer: I have no idea what I am talking about.

I have been asked to increase the "security level" of our WebView- based
browser windows. I guess that on a pc/IE, you can somehow set the security
level to prevent things like injection attacks and stuff like that? Again,
I have no idea what this is. Is it possible to to something similar using
WebView on Cocoa? Am I even making any sense? I looked over the security
docs here
http://developer.apple.com/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/GS_Security/index.html ,
but I am just more confused. Anyone have words of wisdom on this?


Thanks!
