<p>The problem with it is that there were more pressing matters to
take care first and that it will break compatibility.<br>
For these reasons it has been scheduled for v0.5.</p>
<p>What I plan to do is write a Ruby DOM implementation with
<a href="https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer">TheRubyRacer</a>
as a JS engine.<br>
I've already sort of started playing with this idea[1] and it seems
to be OK, although I haven't yet touched DOM level 3 specs -- which
seems to be the hard part.</p>
<p>This would allow complete control over the execution flow and
whatever DOM manipulation could happen in the background; and will
be much faster and less resource intensive than firing up and
controlling a few browser processes in the background.</p>
<p><strong>But</strong>, this is a tall order so if I fail at it
I'll probably use WATIR.</p>
<p>In any case, a lot of things would have to be reworked so v0.5
is the place for it.</p>

v0.5</a> will start once I finish <a href=

v0.4.2</a>.</p></div>Tasos Laskostag:support.arachni-scanner.com,2012-07-01:Comment/184946092012-09-05T17:11:16Z2012-09-05T17:11:16ZDom and javascript support<div><p>Ok thanks again for your work</p></div>beunwa
