Competition for Comparator

16 Nov

Looks like there is competition for Comparator. :-) MikeyC writes:



Nice idea, but for anyone who doesn’t care to install the .NET Framework you can download an HTA I created that does the exact same thing:
http://www.zeit.ca/external/zeit_mozie/zeit_mozie.hta

Step 1: Save the link above to your PC with an .hta file extension.

Step 2: Register the Mozilla ActiveX control (as you would do with ‘Comparator’).

That’s it. Gecko-rendering in the top-frame, MSHTML-rendering in the bottom-frame. Windows only, sorry.

It’s very basic at the moment, but will be enhanced soon. Check: http://www.zeit.ca/ for progress.


It works well. And it seems the application was codded in five minutes. Pretty cool. Anyway I am using Comparator to learn .Net so I guess I will continue with it.

    Just to let you know, Fahim Farook created Scope quite a while ago that is capable of the same thing. You can find it at http://www.farook.org/

    I tried to use scope 2.0 from behind a proxy, and it worked OK for IE, but not for Mozilla. I got an authorization required (401) error.

    You need to post your comments about Scope 2.0 at http://www.farook.org/. I am not the author of Scope. But my guess is you it automatically takes the proxy setting configured in mozilla. So if you use the same settings as IE in Mozilla, things might work.
