Just as a rumor, what I have heard is that Google (Who I think is the industry leader in XmlHttpRequest) builds everything in XUL and then has an automatic translator to generate the resulting XHTML/CSS and JavaScript files, that connect to the server via XmlHttpRequest handlers. I've been unable to factually confirm this, but it makes sense (and is a good idea). _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [email protected] http://lists.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
