I have been trying this for quite a while. I even talked to folks in
SGI. The problem is you can draw a Performer window in Netscape (as a
plugin), you cannot draw anything on it, it crashes netscape. I created
a pfPipeWindow during the plugin call, and linked this window to the
netscape window using the handle it provides (look at the documentation
in one of the netscape sites, I don't remember on top of my head). It
does draw a window (size depends on what you specify in your html file).
But if I try to draw anything on the window, it just crashes.

How I have it now is, a separate window which is although a plugin, is
not on top of netscape window. It works fine.

Any comments, suggestions welcome.
