mcbridematt's Journal: The strain of undocumented elements

While working to get XPFE working on Jazilla, it looks like the XPFE team (now probably all working on Firebird) don't document their own code good enough.

THE CULPRITS:

<tabbrowser> (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/browser/resources/content/navigator.xul#316 ) mapped to <browser> in Jazilla; Lines 305-324 omitted completely in favour of: <browser id="content" src="chrome://jazilla/start.html">. At expense of the sidebar (<splitter> support in Jazilla is pretty crap anyway)

<toolbarbutton> (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/browser/resources/content/navigator.xul#133). Mapped to <button> in Jazilla. The above and this one are hardly documented in the _offical_ XUL programmers reference: http://www.mozilla.org/xpfe/xulref/.

<splitter collapse="left/right"> Not a culprit, as it's documented, but a pain in the ass to implement in Swing.

Use of <menubar> in <hbox>. (http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpfe/browser/resources/content/navigator.xul#127).
Also a Pain in the ass. In Jazilla-XPFE it's moved to the top level

And for my critics:
Wait until Jazilla 1.0 and we will see...
