Solve : c++ create a web browser?

Answer»

Hey Guys,

I want to make my own WEB BROWSER, something really basic that you type in a text box and a page appears. Any ideas on where to start, i would PREFER to write this in C++

Thanks in advanceYou are into C++. Good move. 
Surly you understand that a browser can and should be OS independent. At least at the source code level. That is in harmony with the concept of C++ programming. The point is do not ignore the work of others just because its not built  for the OS you presently use. That should not really matter very much.

Look at this:

WebKit is an open source web browser engine. WebKit is also the name of the Mac OS X system framework version of the engine that's used by Safari, Dashboard, Mail, and many other OS X applications. WebKit's HTML and JavaScript code began as a branch of the KHTML and KJS libraries from KDE. This website is also the home of S60's S60 WebKit development.

Using their work, you can make an outline and project time line for yourself.  Would it make a difference you to know AHEAD of time the project will take you six weeks working n10 hours a day six days a week?
Of course you would look at http://www.mozilla.org/ and I suppose you already did that but had not heard of webkit.

Have Fun
