Mozilla Starts Work On XForms
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."
About time they drop their crappy XUL in favour of the toolkit of the future! Sorry, gotta go to read the article.
ah, the joys of telling somebody how to do something in a proper OO, to realise it cant be done easily in their OS.
I agree. They should be using a stable browser like Mozilla Phoenix.
Sorry, that's Mozilla Firebird.
Sorry, that's Mozilla Firefox 0.9.
Oh, wait. That version has bugs. Better upgrade to 0.9.1. No, wait, go with 0.9.2. No, use 0.9.3 instead. Each time you upgrade, be sure to back up your settings; the installer will remove them unless you download Extension X 0.1. No, wait, make that 0.2.
Tell me again how other browsers are more stable than IE?

well with a tiny market share, they are hardly in a position to say no the IE way of doing things is stuffed up. Lets do things this way and break IE.
It won't happen, the 99% of people using IE wont go for it. Anyway these days Gecko is surplanting KHTNL, it's dead basically.
