WebApp – GUI
The current version of Net iD Client is missing native versions of any dialog on all platforms. Instead the Client WebApp is used to show any GUI.
An implementation is available on all platforms. The basic feature is to show a web browser windows without anything except the web-view presentation. The web-view will be based on the WebKit available for each platform. Beside the presentation, the WebApp will also include a bridge between JavaScript and the native platform to be able to communicate with the plugin from JavaScript.
$ netidapp.exe -url http://www.islite.com
$ netidapp -url http://www.islite.com
$ /Applications/Net\ iD.app/Contents/MacOS/WebApp -url http://www.islite.com
The bridge between JavaScript and native is always active. Use our plugin JavaScript files to build your own WebApp based on our WebApp and HTML/JS/CSS:
_netid.js-
Old – not recommened for new applications.
_netid-ng.js-
New – recommened for new applications.
