Hi,

it seems that HTML5 is coming more and more popular : For example
Windows has just annnouce that native IE10 in metro will no more accept
Silverlight and flash. HTM5 is for now the only to have a crossplatform
apps for mobile and tablets. ..

What's about a QML javascript lib, Qt creator helper to create a full
compliant HTML5 apps done with QML that can be play on any devices ? and
an easy way to add Qt c++ web service on the server side ... If Qt is
now targeting industrial and IPTV compliant box it has a lot of sense :
Box with a web serber + Qt C++ web service, and to remote control
(tablet,...) you can use an HTML5 webapps done in Qml

I think you should prototype that.

I have my concerns of whether this is feasible or in any way performant, but
if you manage it, it would be great.

To avoid duplicating effort, you could take a look at something I'm working on:
"QtJs" - Qt Widgets in html5.
http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/8872/
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtjs/
http://www.philipashmore.com/html5/timeline/

and "Porting QML to JS/HTML5"

http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4347/

and SMIL, part of the SVG specification
http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/
- is it QML by another name?

Also, "qtqmlbrowserplugin"
http://code.google.com/p/qtqmlbrowserplugin/

Collaborators welcome!
