The neat thing about Processing is that since it is based on Java it is possible

So, what Andy has created is the basis for an online LDraw viewer! One possible
application of this is to allow people without LDraw installations to
nevertheless view models in 3d using their browsers. To illustrate the
feasibility of this I made a quick hack online version of the code that displays
a fully-inlined model (so no part library is required):

Very nice. I only took a look in IE and on a Windows XP PC and required me to
download and upgrade the Java plugin.
Will one be able to display this in another browser Chrome or on another
platform like MacOS?

Yep, I tested it in Safari and Firefox on my Mac and in Firefox on XP before
posting it. I already had Java in both cases, but if I understand correctly it
does prompt you to download the plugin if you need it, right?

On my XP with already installed (and current) Java I did not have to download
anything more.
