[webkit-dev] Extending webkit javascript

[Nilesh Patil]

Hi

I am not really sure which example/reference you are following.
If u need to call some native functions in JavaScript, JavaScript
interpreter should be aware of that functions/native component you are
trying to access.
So process would be to implement such mechanism in JavaScriptCore. You
can look at example how its been done for some standard JavaScript
objects and
their properties.

You will find corresponding source in WebCore/bindings ,
WebCore/bindings/js and JavaScriptCore/kjs/bindings.

Thanks & Regards
Niilesh
