Remote Applications-Pl Remote applications developed with Mozilla use an application without having to endure a full download process. Given the fundamental similarities of Mozilla and standard web content a remote Mozilla application can work much like a regular web page. For example you can point people to your project at http www.foobar.com myApp.xul and if they use Mozilla or a browser that is built with Mozilla such as Netscape 7 the browser window becomes the application. Serving an application in this way allows you to use most features of a locally installed Mozilla program and gives you unique options that aren t otherwise available. These options are discussed in this chapter. This chapter explores this alternative distribution method and compares it to how an installable application is built. Generally there is no difference between these two types of applications other than how they are delivered. However you should be aware of the difficulties encountered when using remote applications. One of the most important aspects of remote applications for Mozilla is the XPFE environment or more specifically the use of XUL XBL JavaScript and CSS. Using the XPFE in remote application development offers more possibilities than for example just embedding Gecko into your application. It is the focus of this chapter. 12.1. Directions in Remote Application Development Currently remote Mozilla applications are not prevalent because development focuses on making the client applications as stable and efficient as possible. Therefore this area of Mozilla development is largely speculative. This chapter argues that remote applications are worth looking at more closely. One advantage a remote Mozilla application has over a client application is that a developer doesn t have to worry about an installer. Also all users have access to the latest version of your application. Because the application is stored centrally on a server instead of on the local computer of
