Hi, It was really a great help. But I want to use XUL for standalone application. Is it compulsory to use AJAX or any other technology in between java and js? It's a bit confusing whether to use XUL for a standalone application or not? And if I am using then am I suppose to use a 3rd technology for communication between java and js.
Here java means servlet or simple java file.

With HTML you will be sending the HTTP header "Content-type: text/html", whereas XUL should be sent as "Content-type: application/vnd.mozilla.xul+xml". Similarly, just like how you can dynamically create HTML nodes and attach them to the document using Javascript, you can create and attach XUL nodes. In both cases you can use the XMLHttpRequest object to make ajax requests. In truth XUL is more strict about being namespaced correctly but it behaves in much the same way as HTML. XULs namespace is "http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"; XUL isn't a web-standard (and as such Firefox do not put it in their Accept headers) so it might be considered offtopic for this list. I suggest you find a more specific list, and you'll probably find more developers able to help you, and people more familiar with XUL. btw, here's a blog post about a XUL+JS/HTML+JS engine I've been developing (write the interface in XML and it makes both interfaces for you), http://plutoblog.onesquared.net/2006/08/10/bear-patrol-2/ .Matthew Cruickshank http://docvert.org << MSWord to Open Standards (HTML, DocBook) ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************* ******************************************************************* List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] *******************************************************************
