Mozilla Starts Work On XForms

Posted by timothy on from the fill-in-this-blank dept.

AnamanFan writes "The Mozilla Foundation, with Novell and IBM, announced the formation to implement the W3C's XForms 1.0 Recommendation on the Mozilla platform. XForms is the forms module in XHTML 2, developed by the W3C. The project enables developers to deliver the type of next-generation, rich, portable web-based applications desired by corporate IT. Is this one step away from the corporate world's dependence on ActiveX? We can only hope."

    Also, it renames the Start menu to "I Want To Believe," and installs a hot wallpaper image of Gillian Anderson. Oh, wait, X-Forms..?
