>“I think the selector in question is on the scene or X3D element.   I am not sure if my code fully supports inlines, plus I am reusing the scene (allowed???).

>>Yet another reason not to support regular JavaScript in X3D.” (Scripts)

Suggestion for V4:  Only support one X3D element per frame/iframe, otherwise we are schizophrenic (They’re coming to take me away, oh no!).  0, or 2 or more X3D elements are allowed, but not supported.

Are there other ways of seeing this? The use case is showing a scenegraph 4 times, twice as X3DOM, twice as X_ITE, twice as JS/DOM and twice as XML, trying to script various elements in scene.

Can someone see a fault in this?  Should I start porting my code over to this to see any difficulties?  I know IFrames are difficult, but I think we should show our multicanvas apps with multiframes.

Almost bedtime.
