Summary: Better javascript support in internal browser

Initial Comment:
Hi,
I was trying this tutorial http://jeffreybreen.wordpress.com/2011/07/14/r-one-liners-googlevis/ and i noticed that the graph doesn't appear. in rkward web browser. If i run R from the terminal and run the same script it works great when it starts in mozilla.

Script:
library(googleVis)
data(Fruits)
M = gvisMotionChart(data=Fruits, idvar="Fruit", timevar="Date", chartid="ILoveFruit")

having tried on linux yet because i am at work, but from windows, using
plot (M, browser="firefox") in KWard does not open a new window in firefox.
Is there a problem with this in windows?

Hi!

The problem is not that javascript is not allowed in the internal browser
(it is allowed, unless you have configured konqueror otherwise). The
problem is that the JS engine does not seem to be able to handle this,
correctly. In the mid term, we will probably switch to a WebKit-based
internal browser, and probably this will fix the issue. However, I'm very
reluctant to do so right away, since it would break compatibility with
older versions of KDE, which are still around on many systems.

As a workaround, use
    plot (M, browser="firefox")
to open in an external web browser.

Regards
Thomas
