Adding Compositions to Webpages and Widgets

The Quartz Composer Web Kit plug-in, available in Mac OS X v10.4.7 or later, lets you include Quartz Composer compositions in a webpage or Dashboard widget. The plug-in is a Web Kit–style Internet plug-in, available to Web Kit–based browsers, such as Safari, OmniWeb, and Shiira. It’s also available to Dashboard widgets, because Dashboard uses the Web Kit to render the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files that make widgets.

This chapter shows how to use the Web Kit plug-in and how to manipulate a composition using JavaScript. It also describes the HTML attributes specific to the plug-in and discusses which Quartz Composer patches are not allowed in a composition rendered by a Web Kit plug-in.
