RE: Agenda, Thu 26 Feb, 2009 telcon

That implies that you would need a browser-specific method?  How would my plugin know who its parent is?  Again, no standard API for integrating the DOM of the browser with the DOM of the plugin - or even just communicating back to the DOM?

Wouldn't it make more sense if we could convince the HTML5 committee, in their work to improve "browser experiences" for users to also focus on the needs of plugin developers?   It seems from my reading of HTML5 that they would rather replace all common plugins with "internal solutions" and support some standards (like SVG, to some extent) but not others (like MathML)?  And how does that help the innovation that plugins also bring for various other standards or even proprietary formats?

Am I missing something??

You could pickup the state by simply interacting with the browser, find your
parent, gather it's current transform stage and so on.. or within IE you
could also use binary extensions. However.. thanks to IE, it all is a hell
lot of work to properly to so :-)
