XForms is the future of online forms, at least as they are envisioned by the W3C. Drawing on other standards like XML Schema, XPath, and XML Events, XForms tries to address some of the limitations with the current web forms model.
The Mozilla Foundation has a XForms Development Project under way in collaboration with Novell and IBM. So maybe the fact that IE is dead doesn’t mean we’ll never see XHTML 2 after all (XForms is the forms module in XHTML 2).
Well, we shall see. In the meantime,
now! They’ve just realeased a “Preview Release” of 1.0, and it’s pretty slick. The new “find bar” is a nice interface for the old “Find as You Type” feature, and their support for RSS feeds is simple and somewhat interesting. Even better, they’ve finally gotten Thunderbird and Firefox to work together if you have them both installed [ ]
