Ok, basically everything is working well, in IE5.5; there were a few things
though:

Initially when I clicked "open" no page was loaded in the Iframe, just a
"The page cannot be found" message.
"Search this site" doesn't work.
Copying, and pasting a url into the bar doesn't work, cause you get
"http://" twice, maybe you can check for this and strip it off.
I tried loading my page in the interface www.richardinfo.com but it reloads
the whole window. This is due to the "breakout of frames" code that the
web-address redirector is using, there are of course a lot of websites using
a similar script - on purpose or not - and I don't think there's much you
can do to counter this.
Loading my site directly from the real address does work
 ( http://www.richardinfo.f2s.com/dynapi/php/index2.php or
http://www.resass.f2s.com/dynapi/php/index2.php if the other is down.)
I do get a "permission denied" error, for the second menu button I click
(not when viewing it out of your interface)
There's not much you can do about this kind of thing, except check if there
are sites you intend to feature, that they actually work well in the
interface.

NS4 compatibility will be hard, you can try to get Mozilla or NS6 working,
as these support Iframe.

Getting your script in widget form shouldn't be too hard, although I don't
think you'll need to inherit anything from dynAPI, just a basic javascript
object, where all your global variables become properties of the object, and
all your functions are prototyped from it. Something like this:

function WebDICEObj (){
    //The constructor:
    // 3-D Shading
    this.InnerTableBorder = 2;
    this.OuterTableBorder = 0;
    this.CenterFrameBorder = "yes";
    this.TopFrameBorder = "no";
    this.LeftFrameBorder = "no";
    this.RightFrameBorder = "no";
    this.BottomFrameBorder = "no";
    this.EnableTabShading = 1;
    //etc, other parameters
    return this
}
WebDICEObj.prototype.BGsetScreen=function() {
    this.ScreenW = DynAPI.document.getWidth();
    this.ScreenH = DynAPI.document.getHeight();
}

And on the page :
var WebDICE=new WebDICEObj()




Cheers,
