Hi,
Nigel McFarlane's second episode of the Mozilla XUL
saga published at the informit.com site is now live.
The informit.com site promotes Nigel's saga titled
"A Tour of Mozilla's XUL" on the frontpage saying:
I thought XUL (pronounced "zool") was the gatekeeper
of Gozer who possessed Sigourney Weaver's body in
"Ghostbusters" but apparently it's also a nifty XML
technology for expressing the UI part of a software
application. Read up.
And sums up the latest episode titled "Mozilla
Overlays: A New Way to Combine XML Documents" saying:
What do you do if XML information is split across
several documents? The Mozilla platform has a neat
solution to this problem. Documents written in
Mozilla's XUL dialect of XML can be merged
automatically into a single, final document using a
system called overlays. Nigel McFarlane describes the
overlay system in the this article.
The lastest episode's contents includes:
* Introduction
* The Processing Instruction Escape Hatch
* Overlay History
* Mozilla Overlay Mechanics
* Straightforward Versus Secret Overlay Discovery
* The Bottom-Up Approach
* Poking Around Inside Mozilla
* Conclusion
