Or whether > anyone has already done this? Widgets are generally not abstracted on a type of renderer (it's implicitly assumed to be HTML), so you'd have to change quite a bit of code. In general, Weblocks is heavily geared towards rendering HTML, so porting existing widgets to render XUL/SVG would be tricky.
It shouldn't be too hard to create new widgets that do this, though. > Also, I haven't read the API in detail yet, but does Weblocks provide > abstractions for doing general drawing (move-to and line-to -type > functions)? (I'm guessing probably not.) No, Weblocks has no support for this (that I know of). --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weblocks" group.
