TazWeb is radically simple and very light web browser provinding a single window with a small toolbar but any menubar or tabs. Navigation is done with a right click anywhere in the browser window or from the toolbar. Also fullscreen mode and this documentation file are accessible from the right side of the toolbar.
SliTaz Web Browser was created for the needs of TazPanel who is the SliTaz administration and packages manager panel all done with latest technologies such as xHTML 5 and CSS 3 for the graphical user interface. The content is powered by CGI scripts and the prefered web server is Busybox httpd.
The browser is small, very small, the binary is about 12 Kb and use Webkit engine for page rendering and so, support all latest web standard as well as Javascript.
Home page and url in argument
The default start page as been defined is source code and can't be changed and it is the default SliTaz WebHome, but TazWeb accept an URL as first argument, example: http://www.slitaz.org/. In this way you can for example create your own and custom home page in a pretty xHTML document and start tazweb with a standard desktop file or from the command line: tazweb file://$HOME/file.html
If you want a custom home page for your Live system or all system users, you can create your own slitaz-configs package or edit the xHTML file located in /usr/share/webhome/index.html. If you modify it, make sure to block slitaz-configs or make a backup because it will be overwrite with a slitaz-configs package update.
Web applications
TazWeb browser is perfect to launch web applications via a simple desktop file. Once created with a simple text editor, the desktop file can stand on the desktop with a nice icon or in the standard SliTaz menu. Example of a web application launcher:
[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=SliTaz SCN Icon=slitaz-menu Exec=tazweb http://scn.slitaz.org/
