A headless Internet Explorer browser using the .NET WebBrowser Class with a Javascript API running on the [V8 JavaScript engine](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V8_(JavaScript_engine).

The API is coded as a port of PhantomJS. Basically, if you have used phantom before then you already know how to use TrifleJS.

It supports different version of IE interchangeably depending on the current version installed (IE9 can emulate IE7, IE8 or IE9 but not IE10).

C:\> TrifleJS.exe --emulate=IE8 --render=http://whatbrowser.org/

The following is a list of features that have been ported from PhantomJS.

We are targetting version 1.7 as webdriver support (added in v 1.8) is too much work to put in at this stage.

We are currently about 60% throguht the PhantomJS API.

For detailed information on which methods are available please refer to triflejs.org:

• Global Methods
• Object: phantom
• Module: WebPage
• Module: System
• Module: FileSystem
• Module: WebServer
• Command Line Options

Some of the big ticket items currently missing from the automation are:

• Cookies
• IE Windows (File Upload, SSL Certificate Error)
• Mouse / Keyboard interaction
• ChildProcess module

Some items that are being deliberately left out:

• Support for WebDriver

This code is still very much in beta. Check again for updates.

You can download the binary here if you want to play around with the beta version.

The ideal installation is Windows 7 (which includes .NET 3.5) using IE9 or IE10, however this will still work in 32-bit XP (with SP2) or versions of the Windows NT Kernel released after 2001.
