I work on it too. ;-) Regards, Stephan -- Stephan Richter CBU Physics & Chemistry (B.S.) / Tufts Physics (Ph.D. student) Web2k - Web Software Design, Development and Training

You may use properly-namespaced html tags inside XUL; html forms will work just as in regular html. Or, if you want to stay with strictly XUL, event->javascript->xml-rpc. SOAP would presumably work similarly as xml-rpc, but that seems to be an advanced topic at the moment on the Zope side. http://www.vcdn.org/Public/XMLRPC/ has a pretty-good javascript implementation of xml-rpc to get you started. There have been a couple of posts on this list recently about it that you should look-up if you plan to use it. hth, -- Jim Washington

You really do not want to do that, since you are defeating the purpose of XUL this way.

Well, it is not quiet that straight forward, but similar. I just got adding objects working in combination with Zope 3, so as Sidnei pointed out, there should be some good starting points in Packages/Moztop.

SOAP is overkill.

Why would you want to use it? Mozilla has its own nsXmlRpcClient.js implementation based on Martijn Pieters original work! It seems broken in 1.2.1, but I got it to work with the nightly build. You can get the patched version from the Packages/Moztop repository. I checked it in a couple minutes ago.

Out of curiosity, AFAIK, XUL is a widget library which totally depends on Mozilla. Using it, seems to defeat the purpose of HTML, to have pages working in any browser. I'm I missing something?

I think XUL has nothing to do with the purpose of Hypertext. XUL introduction at XULPlanet.com: http://www.xulplanet.com/tutorials/xultu/intro.html Tonico -- Tonico Strasser, WebDesigner Contact me mailto:contact_tonico@yahoo.de Visit my HomePage http://Tonico.FreeZope.org

Perhaps. For example, one might want to put together a specialized remote application. If I use Mozilla+XUL for this, instead of telling my clients "download and install Jim's specialized web client", I might say "download and install Mozilla, then go to this URL." More info: http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/a/mozilla/2002/12/17/app_dev.html The Zope+Mozilla combination has many interesting possibilities. To Zope, XUL is not importantly different from html. So, the special things one might do in PageTemplates for html can be done similarly on the better widget set that XUL has. Yes, single browser, but available for free on *all* platforms... -- Jim Washington
