I'd really be interested by this mozilla xul stuff. Right now I'm probably using it without noticing. ;-)
(this message is being written in mozilla mail btw).
Do you think it could be possible to use standard html text area and edit those with a rich html edit component?
If you're using Mozilla, you're using the heck out of xul without noticing. I don't know if Mozilla can be convinced to embed a XUL editor widget in plain ol' HTML. I know there are examples of the plugin interface used to put native editing widgets in a browser: http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/samples/testevents/ but I think putting a XUL widget in HTML (or replacing the HTML 'textarea') would require a little bit more kung-fu. But perhaps someone's already done that. It may be that all this requires is a bit of CSS magic, but that's really not my area. What would be possible is to make a XUL file that mimics a Zope editing page with a visual editor component. That shouldn't be too hard. I've already threatened to try that, but no dice. Perhaps in a week or two. --jcc (there is only xul)
