<br>
If the exact same scene is displayed in two separate X3D "windows"
on an HTML page, it comes down to how the X3D is handled.<br>
<br>
If X3D is handled via pluggin, then as long as the plugin keeps
the instances separate; there should not be an issue. I believe BS
Contact works this way.<br>
<br>
If the code is directly inline and displayed via a
JavaScript-based engine (e.g., X3DOM and perhaps Cobweb), then it
depends on the X3D code. If there is no use of the 'id' attribute
then things should be handled separately. I know that X3DOM keeps
an array of instances at the very top level. If the X3D code uses
'id', then the resultant HTML file is not valid as there are two
occurrences of the same 'id'. But, this being HTML, the browser
will not crash; but references to 'id' will not work separately.<br>
<br>
In HTML there is only one namespace and namescope. All
user-supplied HTML script code will need to correctly manage that
there are two instances. It may be sufficient to use
$('#x3d_instance_1 transform).not('some-selection-criteria') and
$('#x3d_instance_2 transform).not('some-selection-criteria') to
differentiate between the two instances when accessing X3D nodes
from JavaScript code.<br>
