  • 11. What type of plug-ins does Safari support?

     

    All versions of Safari support Netscape-style plug-ins. In additon to Netscape-style plug-in support, Safari 1.3 and above on Mac OS X supports Cocoa plug-ins. While not cross platform, Cocoa plug-ins are easy to create and allow your plug-in to leverage all of Cocoa's frameworks.

     

    For more on writing Cocoa plug-ins, review the WebKit Plug-In Programming Topic and try the sample plug-ins available in the WebKit examples directory provided with Xcode.

     

    For more on writing Netscape-style plug-ins for Safari, see Apple's Technical Note on Browser Plug-ins for Mac OS X and Netscape's definitive Plug-in Guide. A very simple Sample plug-in is available, however you will need the appropriate header file "npapi.h" from Netscape to build the project yourself.

     

    With the transition to Intel-based processors, developers should always create universal binaries for plug-ins written with Carbon, Cocoa, or BSD APIs. For information on how to create universal binaries, see Universal Binary Programming Guidelines.

  • 12. Where should Safari plug-ins reside?

     

    To insure that a given plug-in is available to all users of Safari as well as other WebKit-based applications, browser plug-ins should be placed in the '/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/' directory.

     

    For Safari 3.0 on Windows, browser plug-ins may be placed in the 'C:\Program Files\Safari\plugins\' directory or any other appropriate location provided that the location is placed in the registry under the registry key '\Software\MozillaPlugins'.

  Looks like some of this is for the older versions of Safari but still helpful for those of us who don't use this beast very much.
