Different Types Of Plugins
There is four types of Plugins which can be used in Maxthon:
- Javascript Plugins
- HTML Plugins
- COM+ Plugins Designed for Maxthon
- COM+ Plugins Designed for Internet Explorer
Javascript Plugins & HTML Plugins are acting as normal HTML
Elements, such as ascript to process page links or a pure HTML page
for quick data reference in the sidebar. They are easy to create
and use, but have limit on functionalities and speed.
The COM+ Plugins is a special type of ActiveX Object. They are
much powerful and fast. There are a lot of such plugins that are
designed to work with IE and they will regard the caller program
as IE. In order to support this kind of plugin, Maxthon has to run
in a compatible mode.
But such plugins may cause big problem when they are running in
Maxthon, so we only provide support for tested IE Plugins. To solve
this problem, the native Maxthon plugins interface is introduced.
Maxthon Plugins may cost less resource than IE Plugins and can
take the advantages which Maxthon Plugins interface provided. For
detailed information on Maxthon Plugins Development, please download
the Maxthon Plugins SDK.
