[webkit-dev] S60WebKit MIME type question

[Jack Wootton]

If a browser finds a MIME type it cannot display (for example from an
<embed> or <object> tag) then is will iterate through available
plugins and load the plugin which handles that MIME type.

Regarding camera on S60, you may want to take a look at:

Nokia hvave released a beta version of the their new "Platform
Services" (JavaScript API to you and me), this includes a camera API
(the download includes a sis file which adds the new api to the
device, but it also comes with a JavaScript library which allows
pictures to be taken using the camera app and displayed using
JavaScript).  There are also sample widgets which use the camera API.

For something which isn't in beta, Nokia provide a JavaScript API for
launching 3rd party applications (you just supply the UID of the app
you wish to launch - I don't know how you can transfer data from the
app to the webkit environment though).  The API is part of Nokia's Web
Developer Library found here:
