The XUL Alliance site now sports a bookshelf to gather the latest and greatest XUL books in one place. The collection so far includes: Essential XUL Programming, Creating Applications with Mozilla (Using XUL, JavaScript and CSS) and Rapid Application Development with Mozilla.

This page presents a quick reference to the XulManager API. The XulManager class provides centralized access to your menus, toolbars, portals, templates, icons, and more stored in your app's chrome.

Luxor Kernel Hacker Extraordinaire Anakrewn Meidis jazzed up Luxor's CSS support. You no longer need to squeeze all CSS style properties into an XML style attribute, but now you can also use inline styles using the tag or use external stylesheets.

XUL (Extensible User-interface Language) is a standard way to exchange data that describes a program's user interface, or at least the portion of it that can be controlled by programming. Historically, user interfaces have been difficult to customize so they would work across various operating platforms such as Windows and Macintosh. Netscape and Mozilla, an open group that develops Netscape, have jointly developed XUL to solve this problem. (XUL developers say that XUL is pronounced ZOOL, rhyming with "rule.")

Here are XUL applications/utilities for Mozilla (and Netscape 7). They are based on the specification of Mozilla Nightly Trunk. Works on Netscape 7.0, Mozilla 1.0, Phoenix 0.5, or later. Please try them and enjoy fully internet browsing!

In a moment of minor boredom, I thought I’d check out an interview on the American TV channel TechTV, which involves Mozilla. It’s actually quite interesting - it gives you the background to Netscape’s downfall and how it hopes to fight back with Mozilla (and Chimera which is also featured).

A XUL element. The following lists attribute and properties common to all XUL elements.

Netscape used XML to create XUL (the XML-based User Interface Language), a markup language for defining the objects and layout of an application user interface, across platforms and devices, using web standards. Now Netscape is also home to the XUL Developer Central site, which offers tools, documentation, tutorials, code samples, a newsgroup, FAQs, demos, technical articles and news related to the language.

Harry Fuecks, the same author of the last two XUL articles we mentioned has a new article posted on Sitepoint geared towards beginners entitled: Introducing XUL - The ‘Net’s Biggest Secret.

This document is a brief tech note intended to introduce XUL templates to someone new to the subject. It describes the extended XUL template syntax using a simple example. XUL templates are a way of embedding "live data" into a XUL document. A XUL template is a collection of rules that is used to build XUL and HTML content from one or more RDF datasources. A template specifies a "cookie cutter" content model pattern, along with the conditions indicate when the pattern should apply.

This section outlines the various widgets and controls that are defined in XUL. It does not attempt to cover the basic layout containers (box, stack, grid and popup), nor does it attempt to cover the specialized document root containers (window, wizard, dialog, page and overlay). Layout is covered in section 2, and the root elements are covered in section 4.

Netscape's army of open-source programmers may not have turned the tide in the browser wars, but that hasn't stopped some followers from moving on to the next front in the battle for control of the Internet.

XUL Reference presents a clickable list of the XML-based User Interface Language (XUL) elements and attributes. Clicking an item presents a page with a description, examples, syntax and usage information. For each example the user can view a source XUL document, a relevant Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) file and real XUL output. Using the Reference requires a Mozilla-based browser. XUL Reference is distributed under the GNU Free Documentation License, and may be freely used or distributed if Zvon.org is credited and linked to from the user's web site.

This document serves the purposes to Identify the Internationalization and Localization requirements in the Seamonkey project and to discuss the XUL Localizability issues in seamonkey, 5.0. These are only two main topics, more are included.

This document expands on the XUL Template Primer by illustrating how templates can recursively generate nested content. To illustrate how nested content is generated, we'll examine this XUL document, which builds a simple content model from an RDF/XML file.

In the past, UI (display) related resource descriptions are stored in *.rc (for Windows client) or *.ad (for UNIX client) so that they can be localized for a specific language or culture. In the new world, Mozilla 5.0, this is not true any more. Most of the windows and dialogs in Mozilla will be described using XUL.

I have been interested in XUL for a while now, and ever sine a friend of mine showed me what he was able to achieve over a weekend with XUL, I was completely blown away.

This section contains a list of XUL articles, websites, tutorials, references, projects and tools.
