     45    *
     46    * @param[in] instance A <code>PP_Instance</code> identifying one instance

     48    * @param[in] message A <code>PP_Var</code> containing the data to be sent to
     49    * JavaScript.
     50    * <code>message</code> can be any <code>PP_Var</code> type except
     51    * <code>PP_VARTYPE_OBJECT</code>. Array/Dictionary types are supported from

     60    * conforming to the HTML 5 <code>MessageEvent</code> interface.
     61    * Specifically, the value of message will be contained as a property called
     62    *  data in the received <code>MessageEvent</code>.
     63    *

     66    * <code>http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-workers/current-work/</code> for
     67    * further information.

     70    *
     71    * @code
     72    *
     73    * <body>
     74    *   <object id="plugin"

     88    * @code
     89    *
     90    *  char hello_world[] = "Hello world!";
