    Default Embedded browser in QT

    Is it possible to create a QWindow (or something like it) and embed a browser in this window?

    The browser could be chosen by the user, IE, Firefox, Chrome...

    Please if you answer YES, then tell me how!

    Thank you.

    The answer is "it depends but in general no".

    You could "embed" a QWebView and with a little bit of coding you have your own browser ;-)
    Its not so difficult

    ok, the answer is I cannot use in no way a browser inside any QT element or widget.

    Can I then rely that the QWebPage is a fully developed HTML browser that supports AJAX, JavaScript, and anything related to the WWW based on standards?

    The answer is you cannot use an arbitrary browser. But you can use WebKit.

    Yes, it's the most standard compliant browser of them all.
