[X3D-Public] Test X3DOM: Firefox Newbie

[Len Bullard]

Thanks Johannes.  I got that.  X3D is an XML namespace in HTML5 and runs
native in the browser through a connector to the DOM.  I appreciate the
hint!

Just a hint: HTML/X3D and therefore X3DOM do not support the classic  
encoding (= VRML2.0)
You have to convert it to XML first. There are different offline (e.g.  
X3D-Edit, aopt) or online
(http://www.instantreality.org/tools/x3d_encoding_converter/) methods  
to reencode your content.

best regards,
Johannes
