We're looking at a WIDGET_HTML control for a future IDL release. Windows and Mac are already working, but it's been tricky to get it to work correctly on Linux.

I agree with Russell, and to extend this idea, I'm wondering if we should introduce a set of drawn widget controls to IDL. We already use them all over place in ENVI. Their advantages are: they'd look nice, they'd work within the current widget API and they'd work across platforms*.

*Except when they don't because of the vagaries of graphics hardware support. This would be the big drawback of this idea.

What do you think?
