DHTML demos
Check out these IBM Browser Productivity Components:
- Spreadsheet
- DocEditor
- Presentation
Correction:I wrote that the demos where done in XUL, they are not. It's plain old DHTML. Sorry about that. They are still impressive.
Try the demos!
XUL
Even though that the demos aren't done in XUL, XUL is still very cool. XUL stands for XML User Interface Language. This is the cross platform language that the UI in Mozilla is written in. Designing UI with XML and JavaScript is cool and very easy!

This is very odd. This is actually the old HalfBrain applications which used to be IE only. HalfBrain was bought by Blox.com and Blox.com shut down a year or so ago. Now it shows up under the IBM flag. Still some good applications even thought they are not XUL apps.
The rich text editor is new and it makes me realize that Firebird now supports Midas. How did I miss that? I thought I was beeing cc:d on those bugs :-)

Seems like a mistake ;-)
I understand, you was so exide by the examples, so you must immedietelly inform us about it ;-)
I was too ;-)

Comment by dc at July 23, 2003 11:54 AM | PermalinkI wrote an HTML/CSS slideshow that uses :hover to switch between slides. It also has the benefit of being easily printed, modified, or customized. With a bit of work it can be wrapped up into a single file for easy transportation.

They work in IE too. It doesn't seems they are done in XUL, but in DHTML :-(
