### Gild Web Browser: View Area

The Gild Web Browser is built on top of Microsoft's Internet Explorer 1. This means that it has all the functionality of Internet Explorer, and then a little more. This document only covers those extra features.

Links to Source Code

The Gild Web Browser allows, by the use of specialized HTML tags, a web page to link source the web content to source code in the workspace. The links look like regular html links. But when they are selected, instead of navigating to another web page, the source code reference will be openned inside the default Java editor within Eclipse. The referenced code will be highlighted in the editor.

Links to Pages in the Eclipse Workspace

It is also possible to link to web content that is held within the Eclipse workspace. Again, the links look just like regular HTML links, but will reference content in the Eclipse workspace rather than on the web. This is important because it allows the Gild Web Browser to format information for pages within the workspace before they are displayed.
