Plug-ins can run in a separate process, and there is no NSView provided automatically. You can find plug-in sample code in <http://trac.webkit.org/browser/trunk/WebKitExamplePlugins>, and with a quick web search, I found this discussion: <http://cocoadev.com/forums/comments.php?DiscussionID=1577>.

Let's not discuss NPAPI plug-in writing here any further. You can e-mail webkit-help <http://webkit.org/contact.html> if you need further assistance, or you can get help from Apple directly via DTS <http://developer.apple.com/programs/mac/support.html>.

> In the meantime, if you could fix Webkit this would be great because the rollout of Safari 5 has introduced this regression on our services which were working fine on Safari 4

Apple doesn't discuss future products, so I can't comment on whether or when this will be fixed in Safari.

If you can update the affected Web pages, then there is an easy workaround - just make sure that every frame has had some JavaScript activity. An empty onload handler would do.
