• Create dynamic Firefox user interfaces by Adam Pilkington   - [Clicks: 5]
  When you create browser-based applications that display XML data feeds, you often need to code the data-retrieval mechanism and the user interface. Mozilla Firefox provides an infrastructure that frees you from these tasks, so you can concentrate on your application's functionality. Learn how to use Asynchronous JavaScript + XML (Ajax) to download XML data from a Web server, and discover how you can use Extensible Stylesheet Language Transformations (XSLT) to transform it dynamically into Firefox user-interface elements expressed in XML User Interface Language (XUL). You can apply these techniques to any application that uses XML data sources.
