But it is served up in the firefox web browser. A good example is: http://www.faser.net/mab/chrome/content/mab.xul The UI always, by definition, has to run on the client. This is true whether you're talking about a non-web-based GUI, or an html form. XUL is no different. XUL does blend client and server-side logic into a stateful app. > > Also, personally I find having to describe your interface directly via > XML (XUL) is just plain ugly.
