there is an http request function, but...
we use xul extensively for our applications and i am finding it most
useful as the layout engine rather than the everything engine.
particularly where interactivity is required.
i'd recommend that you use xul for the layout, buttons, trees - lists
perhaps - depends, and then iframes with xforms or ajax style html to do
the heavy lifting.
you'll get the best of all worlds.

I tried embedding html form tags, but when the form is submitted only
the values stored in the html input tags get submitted, the values
entered in XUL input does not get submitted. This is a big problem for me.
I feel that XUL is better than AJAX but, why does XUL not submit form
data to the back end just like how HTML does?

think in the application level. one abstraction layer up.
