I have two components on my IPro tab in Lazarus: TIpFileDataProvider
and TIpHtmlPanel.

Can these be used with a specified URL to display the corresponding
page in a form? If so, how?

I looked at the examples included and didn't get any insight.

Afaik no. You need some networking components to download the files
first.

You might take a look at this custom component and see if you can get
the example apps running:

Since this control embeds the Firefox runtime, you can do just about
anything that Firefox can do, including run JavaScript apps.

I don't use Linux so I can't say whether it works there yet, but it
does work with Windows and Mac.

JoshyFun and I are working on this again...

Check out the latest source here:

svn co https://lazarus-ccr.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/lazarus-
ccr/components/geckoport [local dir]

Thanks.
