Essential Xul Programming
by Vaughn Bullard, Kevin Smith and Michael C. Daconta
Introduction
Netscape 6 is the start of a new chapter in User Interface design and
maintenance. The user interface for Netscape 6 is dynamically built using
XUL. In fact, XUL allows you to change the look and feel of the browser
at any time. Netscape calls this 'Themes', a collection of user-customizable browser skins.
XUL can be used for more than just browser skins. You can build entire
applications by combining XUL, CSS and JavaScript. Thus XUL is the foundation
for a new generation of cross-platform applications.
The book will be published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and will be
available 23 July 2001.
