March 2005 Archives

Checked in

We’re doing some “behind the scenes”-work for the moment, so the only thing new thing is support for inline schemas (bug 285207).

Coming up

It’s the same patches from the last couple of weeks that are lurking. We’re working on the extensions, select, and types for attributes.

New UI architecture?

Probably of more interest is a new architecture for the user interface. We’re investigating whether it’s feasible for us to detach the UI from the code and bind it together using XBL, so we can create the visual representation in f.x. XUL/JavaScript. It would also allow the form author to create custom widgets for existing or new datatypes. Let’s see where it leads us … more about that later on.

Easter is coming up, so do not expect too much progress the next week :) Have a nice Easter.

Checked in

Only checked in some minor fixex to the XPI-file (bug 280945, bug 285094), which of course triggered bug 285658 :)

Coming up

• Fix the problem with the MDG not finding all dependencies (bug 278368)

• <select> bugs (bug 281668, bug 279063, bug 278277)

• Finish the XForms XPath extentions (bug 281987)

• Fix misc. binding problems (bug 283737)

• Get types to work for attributes and stop modifying instance data with type information (bug 283004, bug 285597, bug 235512)

A quiet week. Personally, I’ve had the flu all last week :(

Checked in

• Implement <trigger> with @appearance=minimal (bug 283219)

• Add support for class attribute in XTF (bug 283366), so you can now style our controls (like the above trigger) using @class
