Last week, I decided to fix some of the problems with one of our webapps, so I started reading and coding. It turns out that WMP for the Mac is still built as a CFM object, so communication between it and JavaScript in any modern browser was right out. I had this great idea — QuickTime. It runs everywhere that we have problems with WMP, and is scriptable everywhere.
Except Safari. 1.2 adds LiveConnect, but only for conversations between JavaScript and Java applets, not between JavaScript and plugins. So, I can make our stuff work on modern Mac browsers, except for (arguably?) the most common one. Sigh.
