Hi everyone,
I do apologise. It's one of those things, where we have big plans, but
limited resources.
On the FF plug-in: I've often wanted to merge the work that they did
on that, with the work we did on our plug-in for Internet Explorer
(formsPlayer), which is now open source. Then we'd have one C++ XForms
processor that ran in multiple browsers, and could combine efforts to
keep developing it. (My thinking is that it would not only be a shared
code-base, it would also be a single application, at least for
Windows, anyway.)
If anyone thinks they could help with that, then please let me know.
On UXF: I'm hoping to port my backplanejs changes back pretty soon,
but for the next couple of weeks I'm going to have to continue
focusing on backplanejs. This is because we have a customer who is
paying for some IE-related performance improvements, which are needed
for a project they are doing.
I'm not allowed to publicise this project until June, but it's a great
illustration of the use of XForms and UXF for the purchase of
financial products online. Hopefully this is the kind of thing that
will reassure people that UXF most definitely has a strong future.
(And to clarify, although we're using backplanejs for this project,
that library is simply UXF plus some other features, like an RDFa
parser.)
Which brings me finally to lacco's point (is it 'Kai'?) about FF 3.6
and backplanejs; could you tell me which sample you ran? Perhaps you
could raise a bug over on the backplanejs project with reference to
the sample, platform that you are using, and so on, and then we can
take a look?
Thanks.
I'll try to keep everyone posted on progress.
Best regards,
Mark
