    I like, :)

    Perhaps an XML_GUI class could be created which will provide a common API for/convert between XUL, Glade and the forthcoming XAML from MS?

    I'm always impressed what cool standards are built around XML. But not surprised that it's Sebastian proposing this :-)) One interesting point imho might also be to be able to easily read an XUL-file, edit it and save it back - all one package, with a consistent API.
    The package seems very interesting and might function as a good basis for e.g. another package which will use php-gtk or something to display the user-interfaces described. But this should better be done in a separate package.

    Not bad..

    couple of things:
    - too many 'empty' classes.. - why not store the schema (eg. attributes types in a 'data' file), and just use base XML_XUL_Element...

    A few of the methods use >3 arguments.. it would be nice to simplify them, or start using the assoc array method of setting..

    I would prefer
    $tb = XML_XUL_Element::Factory('textbox');

    And please, please, please make the children/attributes public.. vars..

    you cant use ->clone()

    it's a reserved word in PHP5

    getElementByName() should not return a pear error .. it's too fat and slow.. for something like this.
    - just use false... and === tests.

    flooding email alert:.....

    serialize? - I'd expect to see unserialize .. and some magic storage mechanism
    .. perhaps
    toXul() or just toXML()..

    Hi,

    I just uploaded v0.5.1 with the following changes:

    - renamed clone() to cloneElement()
    - getElementById() returns false if element is not found
    - removed some unneeded attributes
    - children, cdata and attributes are now public properties
    - added some cross-references in API doc
    - fixed minor bugs
    - added addPopup() to popupset element

    Most of these changes have been wishes by Alan Knowles

    Best regards,

    Stephan

    couple of ideas came this morning when looking at it..

    a) elementName as public
    b) change the var $_commonAttribs to a method getAttribs($mergewith=array())
    return $mergewith + array(....)

    The means that print_r($xul) will produce a reasonably short view of the tree..
