Are these all the languages/solutions you could use in frontend?
And what is a plugin for Safari and Firefox written in? Is it low-level languages like C++?
FireFox plugins use XUL, https://developer.mozilla.org/En/XUL, HTML, JavaScript and CSS;they are called chrome applications. In fact the browser itself is a chrome application. It also uses XPCOM for some things, https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCOM. From that link “XPCOM components be used and implemented in JavaScript, Java, and Python in addition to C++”.
And if your curious, Microsoft’s XAML was pretty much taken from XUL.
As far as I know for plugins in Safari/Chrome and other non-IE, they just use HTML, JavaScript CSS. For IE plugins, check this out, http://discuss.joelonsoftware.com/default.asp?design.4.423268.5
