Question

I have read on the internet and found out that jQuery works OK on XUL.

My questions are:

Are there any jQuery plugins that are specially made to work with XUL?
Is there any other jQuery-like library that was specially made for XUL?

I have not yet tested jQuery on XUL, I m just asking these questions for curiosity.

Answer 1

Relevant SO question: Is it possible to use jQuery to manipulate XUL elements?

Answer 2

<!-- language: lang-js -->
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <?xml-stylesheet href="chrome://global/skin/" type="text/css"?>
    <!DOCTYPE window>
    <window
        xmlns="http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul"
        xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
        <html:script type="application/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.2/jquery.min.js"/>
        <html:script type="application/javascript" src="myjs.js"/>

myjs.js

<!-- language: lang-js -->
$(window).load(function() {
    console.log($(document));
});

Answer 3

It s a bit late to answer, but I want to post this so anyone else having the same question can try this:

Check this out, many of the functions in jQuery 1.9.1 worked for me: http://digitalmihailo.blogspot.com/2008/05/jquery-and-dynamic-html-in-xul.html

It s basically defining the default namespace as XHTML instead of XUL, as the author says.

However, the .append( <p>something</p> ) example didn t work for me, but I tried with .html( <p>something</p> ) and it did.

Hope it helps.
