      this item implies some explanations : I have started doing this on my personal time and have implemented in just a few hours a very large part of it ; I hope to have a demo'able version for 20020425 ; since I am using only XUL+JS+XBL and do not need any extension to the CSS Object Model for the moment, I hope to be able to make a very simple XPI, installable even on older versions of Mozilla or Netscape.
      (thanks to mpt for his useful UI comments)
  • lots of reviews
  • attended Layout Staff Meeting

    • Bug 128136 (Printing disables keyboard movement of caret in textfields)
      
  • Checked in fix for bug 106489 (Text entered in box does not appear) into the TRUNK. It's been verified by QA, but I think ADT wants things to bake on the trunk for a couple of days before sending another request for approval.
