> Why does anyone need XUL? > > Quick! Fat client vs thin client. Len, please grow up. XUL doesn't replace HTML but instead builds on it. I guess you somehow missed the whole XUL discussion here on xml-dev. If you're truly interested in what XUL has to offer why not check out my "Rich Clients, Rich Browsers, Rich Portals" lecture series online @ http://xul.sourceforge.net/events.html Just in case it's too much effort let me highlight two slides: Five Freedoms - Xul Charter =========================== * Freedom to Choose Your Runtime - Java, Mono, C/C++ * Freedom to Choose Your UI Designer * Freedom to Choose Your UI Toolkit - Swing, SWT, Gtk#, Qt * Freedom to Choose Your Scripting Language - Python, Perl, Tcl * Freedom to Choose Your Programming Language - Java, C#, Shark XUL Benefits ============ * Powerful widget markup (XML, Babe) * Built on proven standards (Reuse, Reuse, Reuse) * Platform portability (Runs Anywhere) * Splits presentation and application logic (Beyond Hairballs and Spaghetti Code) * Easy customization, localization, or branding (Your Way or the Highway) > Can you do it without Spy Vs Spy? Len, I'm getting sick of your Spy vs. Spy cliche. If you haven't realized it yet the cold war is over for more than a decade now. Why not use something more up-to-date to show that you aren't stuck in the past. - Gerald ______________________________________________________________________ Post your free ad now! http://personals.yahoo.ca
