Hi. I'm thinking about doing a webpage with some stuff that's usefull, I'll reveal it when and if it gets done.
For now I'd like your advice on:
1- The best HTML etc. editor for compatibility with webbrowers considering Amiga webbrowsers and also not considering them (hey CSS will come to us someday, at least IBrowse has it planned).
2- The same as above but for the PC.
3- I also had this crazy idea of streaming animations in anim format to amiga webbrowsers but I guess that would need streaming support wich anim format doesn't have right ?
What about having a program do it on the server and on the Amigaside. I probably won't even try to do it, it's just an idea for now.
How would it compare to say a flash animation compressionwise ?

All standard Amiga .anim formats support streaming that is why they can all play direct from HD. Remember Walker.anim? It played direct from floppy. I think it preloaded 90% of its anim to RAM thogh :)

I thought about adding HAM8 .jpg viewing and .anim viewing to Ibrowse several years ago. Its not that its hard its just that many webviewing people refuse to use AGA these days so I didn't bother. It would have been GREAT in 1994-96!

Terrible.
Flash uses programming commands to move images around. This provides massively better compression for the types of anims that you typically see flash doing.

That would have ruled :-)
Since it's not difficult what about today ? Or what about plug ins, I'm not familiar with IBrowse plug-ins would it be possible for a user to write such a plug in ?
