I have a XUL application that I want to be able to read an RSS feed.
It is stand-alone (XULRunner) and I want to be able to send the users a
line or two of text to keep them updated on news, updates, contents, or
whatever is new on our end.
Are there any built-in XUL interfaces for RSS? Can a XUL template be
used for this? Or do I have to write a bunch of javascript to achieve
this? Maybe RSS is not the way to go for this app feature?
Any ideas on this subject would be very appreciated.
Have a good one!

You should be able to use a XUL template to display feeds, although you
may have to write the feed data to an RDF datasource first.

Thanks, I will check it out. I'm trying to build a simple browser type
app.
Another problem I am having is that when I click a link that is set to
open a new window (target="_blank") in my browser content area of my
xul app, it opens up a firefox window. I'd like it to open another
instance of my browser.
Any ideas on that?

You need to set the "I'm a browser" preference which is
network.protocol-handler.expose-all and also the "browser ui" preference
which I seem to remember is called browser.chromeURL

I have to change it back when my browser unloads otherwise when I
double-click my Firefox icon it loads my application (oops). I'm
thinking that when I make my application stand-alone with XULRunner
that I won't be "sharing" preferences with Firefox.
Many Thanks Neil.
