Harry Fuecks XUL Saga Continues

Hi,

  Harry Fuecks continues his XUL Saga @ Sitepoint. In
the second episode of the trilogy, Harry gets down to
business and creates a pull-down menu without a
Javascript orgie, a search box and more.

  You're also invited to join Harry in the discussion
forum.

  Joel comments: 

  For me, I feel the draw of XUL is not Mozilla or
Gecko itself, but rather the promise of a possible
"standard" format for designing user interfaces. XUL
and other XML-based UI graphical toolkits allow you to
design the view of your applications using a simple
XML format, thereby enforcing clean separation of view
and controller, a common fallacy in Swing-based or
AWT-based programs (not saying it can't be done, but
it is often too easy to mush your view and controller
together). Simplicity, clean separation of model,
control and view, and portability is the key.
