Scratch and the Web
What if Scratch could be used to recieve and read HTML and PHP files? There would be variable in a sensing section called URL that tells you the URL ypu are recieving, also, you could make some cool stuff in scratch here are some examples:
-A Web Browser with your own features
-A more realistic ScratchOS project
-A web scavenger hunt
-An HTML editor that allows you to preveiw your page
-A web site creation tool
Any ideas or comments?

Re: Scratch and the Web
nice idea, but scratch would have to be fitted with a fire wall, or something like that, to block attacks from viruses.

Not a bad idea, keikjj. And I'm not just saying this so I'm not being discouraging! It's true.

Re: Scratch and the Web
Thanks for not syaing "Oh, this isn't going to work" again, but yeah, I must agree to the above problem, there would have to be speciasl software to block the viruses and trojans, or, to stay offline and only read local HTML files.

keikjj, you know, I don't try to be discouraging... I just say my opinion. And anyway, let's forget about this stuff. Okay?

Re: Scratch and the Web
Hm.. I actually think that could work. But of course you need a licence to do so. That costs money, and the totals could add up. 
So, after that and the programming of a firewall, that may be too much work and too much money for the Scratch programmers. Sorry to rain on your parade! LOVE the idea though! <3
