An interesting little project, I presume it is meant to be run as an app or perhaps a JavaScripted window

Whoever it was that wrote it appears to have become a little angry with XUL's event-handling by the time he came to write line 73 he had this to say in a commented out line:

"Why does onkeyup, check for 13, seem like a really dumb thing?"

Character 13 being an ASCII cariage return as I'm sure we all know

I don't see it as useful, I have the search Google set on next to my address bar in FF, but tt does do a lot to demonstrate the potential and the elegance of XUL, all that from @90 lines of pretty straightforward code

That reminds me of an old assembler coding competition where the winner was the one who could produce the best multi-media/graphics demo that compiled to less than 4k - I'd start the 100 Line Club and invite XUL coders to do something useful or flashy or funny if I was not bone idle

It's the old sidebar panel, back when Netscape (!) was hoping that the bloated and horrible sidebar was going to be a selling point.

Bookmark it, change the bookmark properties to open it in the sidebar, and you'll see it doing what it's been doing for, lo, these many years.

i guess i am a little late with a comment here. but, i came across this site on a google search for "commenting out line in xul." well, the google xul file is still there and it seems to work just fine. i am just trying to learn xul so i will pick it apart and study it. i am trying to build a firefox extension that uses "post" to submit a form, instead of the common "get" for searches. thanks!
