Need Browser

[James]

I have been testing soom things at skool and found, google talk works (and its a .exe) where as firefox or ie doest.

So there must be a id in the software the the server knows it is software.
Also know as "software restriction policy"

I was thinking, if someone made a homemade browser with all the features of firefox etc
(not 100% good though) and then run it at school.

Id like this as at skool ie is very disabled, no favorites no bookmarks no nothing.

Is someone up to making it? they will need to know vbasic or other programming language.
It do it myself but i dont have the time and dont have the software installed.

thanks, if you can do ill reward you some how.

have you tried opera

also if you install firefox import the internet settings from IE, it didn't work for us, but then nick (the county techie) screwed it up and now it works.

but at school most of us use Opera beacuse we know how to get it working correctly on Win XP and Novell

I don't think many people will be up to writing an internet browser by themselves... I could make you a quick on but it would utilize an IE frame, which probably wouldn't do you much good.

ya i misread that, the one i was planning on compleing was using IE code

yea browsers are very complicated to write. i mean rather easy to design but the fucntions are tedious...i remember on the language i use a guy was gonna write one but idk ill look into it...but on firefox at my school the people can get around the filter... go to tools > Options and look for like a proxy option i think thats how but also try to get like https:// instead of http:// that sometimes works...but also my school uses software to block by ip idk bout u guys...ill start workin on it maybe idk...if i make it it will be simple tho lol

Ok it didnt work, so know i need to make a browser in vbasic
Any one up to it, if not ill have to find some spare time to do it, plus spend a while installing everything again.
(id doesnt need to be like FF but like IE with out all the features, it needs a addres bar and bookbars toolbar, plus any thing else you know.

thanks
