local window = guiCreateWindow(126, 122, 848, 674, "Firechrome", false)
guiWindowSetSizable(window, false)

local navigateBackBtn = guiCreateButton(10, 19, 39, 36, "<", false, window)
local navigateForwardBtn = guiCreateButton(98, 19, 39, 36, ">", false, window)
local addressBar =  guiCreateEdit(137, 19, 701, 36, "", false, window)
guiSetEnabled( addressBar, false )
local reloadBtn = guiCreateButton(49, 19, 49, 36, "reload", false, window)
local browser = guiCreateBrowser(10, 55, 828, 609, false, false, false, window)

-- Load our page on browser creation.

addEventHandler("onClientBrowserCreated", theBrowser,
    function()
