XUL and stuff [was Re: Netscape 6.. ohmygod...]

[Michael Vanecek]

Yeah, been there. I do all my layout in CSS1/2 (no tables), 
PHP/XML/MySQL for site application development, and tinker a little with 
javascript. Since the browsers are becoming more DOM compliant, it would 
behoove me to learn more Javascript...

Been to the mentioned sites. Good references. I've also been through the 
xulnote tutorial. I'd like to write a financial application in XUL to 
replace our Quickbooks (the only reason one of our computers is still 
infested with MSWindows), so I need to learn how to interface XUL with 
MySQL and to learn more about server/client relationships from the XUL 
viewpoint. It'd be nice to have the XUL app on a central server rather 
than as components of the client, but it's not critical - we have a 
small network with only a few computers. I'll also have a PHP equivalent 
too, and maybe a Gnome equivalent as soon as development on Gnome_DB 
matures... The database will be the same, so it doesn't matter what 
client I write. I need to brainstorm on ways to abstract the database 
functions so that I an use one library for all platforms - Gnome, PHP or 
XUL. It'd be nice to have the core application completely independent of 
the interface so that any interface can be written to it.
