Update:
The parser is almost complete Very Happy

parser:
tested to parse all 96 tags - complete
tested for differnt styles of writing html-complete
functions for all 96 tags- complete - shells for them
tested parse for args- complete
tested reads all tags and converts to lower case.. case will not matter
same with the args - convert to lower case
tested not valid tag - complete example : < html> <-not valid because of space or <junk> in tag

still adding:
suport for css
suport for jscript parse - remove them at first..

this parser once done will allow for us to focus on the graphics - with out having to touch the parser code..

I have created functions for just about everthing we will need to work on programming the tags

example:
The args are copied into a string named args..is called during the parse;
the text for a tag will be in ntext string- called with : call text_pars
there is a tag_on_off - so it keeps track of start tag / end tag

Code:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;16            <br>     
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
br:              pusha
               mov esi,new_line                        
            call  print_win
             call text_pars       ;will ckeck if another tag or get text 
                mov   esi,ntext                 ;load text 
         call  print_win                 ;and print it
               popa

            ret

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
;45          <html>
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
html:               pusha
               cmp byte[tag_on_off_val],1          ;1=endtag
               je d1
               call text_pars                  ;get text if after tag = ntext -if tag -will not print anything- ntext set to 0
             mov   esi,ntext                 ;load text 
         call  print_win                 ;and print it in window
d1:              popa
                ret

I am going to fill as many of the functions as I can - to provide examples of programming them

I just programed the <b> </b> tags works great.. we now have bold text..
and italic text <i> </i>
suported tags so far that work:

Code:

<html>Fbrowser test 1<br /><b><i>
Fbrowser TEST 2</i></b><br>Fbrowser test 3<br><i><br>Fbrowser test 4</i></html>

help needed:
An example for scrolling the text or methods.. in a window.. I have created the scroll bars and have them to were they will turn on if page greater than the window..

Just need to figure out a method for scrolling the window page.. if possible based on Fbrowser windows by dex,, just an idea to get started with it.. thanks in advance for any help!!

what i use for scrolling is a simple start pointer for text.

Code:

text db 'hello dosin, how are you?',10,13
db ' if you want to scroll text efficientlly, make it like we do',10,13
db ' just focus on the current first line of text you read ',10,13
db ' this 10,13 code is a LF + CR, like a new line of text',10,13
db ' then, to scroll, you seek the next or previous 10,13 code and will point to next or previous line',10,13
db ' i coded this in my code above',10,13
db ' it is efficient because it will start to read and display tex only where it is needed to do',10,13
db ' it is ok for vertical scrolling',13,10
db ' but granularity is "text vertical space"',10,13
db 'for horizontal scrolling, you will use a pixel based offset',10,13
db ' it is possible to use a pixel based vertical scrolling but it will be unefficient because read all the text before to display the last page, and will be bad because of vertial eyes movments ',10,13
db ' every good text viewer have have a char based scrolling',13,10
db ' and every good text viewer shall have the possibility to interpret "10,13"  "13,10"  "10"?  "13"? as the same thing.,10,13
db '',0

seek in browser/fool/event.inc/scrollu and scrolld.

but i insist on the fact that hml file shall be interpreted only one time, just to build a gui based presented text, and then, play with the converted file as if it was a simple gui or game.

Thanks for the input - I am now working on all the colors... http://www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colornames.asp

if the colors were just hex.. it would be better/easier .. but with color names supported..

color=red,color=green,color=blue..and so on..

if all goes well - all colors will be supported using names or hex..in a few weeks..

contest is a little in late but it is not important.
i think it will end in 3 years, the time to build every libraries needed t start the real contest:
Create THE web browser for x86 32 bits instruction set on a PC platform.
_able to boot in less than 10 seconds.
_stable and secure.
_OS like with a subset of extra features.
_ no size limit but speed and functional limits.

the isue of this contest should provide many differents browsers based or not on the same principle.
there are 3 base versions:
_dosin (inspired from dex)
_dex (inspired from dex but different)
_edfed (different)

maybe there will be another base.
the compatibility layer betwen avery versions is simple:
support and render HTML.
support .COM and .EXE dos programs.

i hope this contest to never end, and never die.

I am still working on my version...

I will not stop until its finished!!!!

update:
new win and buffer design
and using int 0x40+ for gui funtions...
will be building in the parser once graphics are fin...
for html apps..
1st gui windows app - hello world..

example:

Code:

jmp start
       tst: db "Hello world!",0
start:

       mov eax,10  ;X pos
       mov ebx,10  ;Y pos
       mov ecx,200 ;Y Size
       mov edx,200 ;X Size
       int 0x40                    ;draw window

       mov eax,0x00000000  ;black
       int 0x41                     ;clear window and fill color

      
      mov eax,75                ;text start x
      mov ebx,75                ;text start y
      mov esi,tst                 ;string
      mov edi,0x00FFFFFF    ;text color = white
      int 0x42                     ;print text

      int 0x45                     ;= window exit code from mouse click - on exit button      
      ret

for graphics -
there is a built in win buff..
so all that needs to be done is draw to your temp buff and
the the function does the rest to display your gui program.....

mov esi, temp_buff
int 0x43 ;draw buffer to screen...

ret

temp_buff:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
This makes graphics apps easy.. The size of the buffer diplayed
gets the values from the window int and then updates on resize or window move from the mouse ... This allows the programmer to work on the app and not all the
functions needed to display them.. I will be adding pixel functions and
support for images,fonts, ect....

The goal - a complete os with html and asm apps... that can access the web and display/interact with web pages...

I will be adding a gui command line interface also later on..

I no this is not exactly what the contest is about.. but it is neat project that could be finished the next year or will be very close to finished!

can i test it now?
i have at least 4 news floppies test OSes and Applications..

i don't remember where i had it, but i've found the windows1.1 floppy installer.
it is fast to boot, but after, it is terribly slow because of Disk.

then, the size limit of the BROWSER executable is set to a maximum count of 128sectors or 64kbytes because it is very slow to load more with a flopy disk.

It looks like Dell beat you all to it:

What happened? Why did this project die?
