I've found out why it doesn't work under Safari in 10.6. It turns out that Apple has removed support for all the QuickDraw interfaces for Safari plugins in 10.6. Plugins now need to use Core Graphics or Cocoa.

I'd be happy to upgrade our drawing interfaces to Core Graphics, but the biggest problem is that I don't know how to get documentation on this API! Clearly I don't know enough about where to find Apple documentation--Google is almost useless in these kinds of searches, turning up just pages of people asking very specific questions and getting very specific answers. Where are the reference manuals? Sure, I found Apple's "Mac OSX Reference Library", which helps; but even that seems to assume that I'll always be using XCode and creating my window with a nib file, which is precisely what we aren't doing.

I'd be happy to spring for a printed book, if that's the Apple way; but what book covers these sorts of questions? There are many books out there, and most of them appear to suffer from the same assumptions made by Apple's reference library.

Any advice for me?
