Firefox-Embedded Selector 1.0
Contents
Architecture
Errata: the line from the Browser to the I-Card Manager should be green in both of the following diagrams
There are two variants of the H1 configuration. One for Firefox and one for IE. The IE variant uses a newer design. If the IE design works well, we will probably retrofit the Firefox Higgins Browser Extension to use the exact same architecture.
Firefox Architecture Variant
The Firefox implementation uses an embedded i-card selector within the Higgins Browser Extension. This has been available since 1.0M4.
IE Architecture Variant
The IE implementation relies on an external native code i-card selector that is invoked by the Higgins Browser Extension. This implementation is underdevelopment for 1.0 and has not yet been checked in.
