VERSION

version 0.63

this code is currently in beta, use in production environments at your own risk

SYNOPSIS

use Web::Gui;
display P 'hello, world!';  # P is the HTML <p> tag

use Web::Gui;
display
    H3('Web Gui!'),
    (SPAN style => q{
            background-color: #222;
            outline: 2px solid #444;
            padding: 10px;
            margin:  10px;
        },
        (INPUT type => 'button',
              value => 'click me',
            onclick => sub {print "hello\n"}
        ),
        (INPUT type => 'button',
              value => 'function',
            onclick => function q{alert("world!")}
        ),
    );

DESCRIPTION

this module is a thin wrapper around XUL::Gui that disables the mozilla specific portions (all of the XUL tags, the filepicker, trusted mode features), but in turn allows you to create gui's in HTML + CSS that should run on most modern browsers.

See XUL::Gui for details.

Selected macros may be coming to simplify dealing with forms and tables, sub Button {INPUT type => 'button', @_}

CAVEATS

using this module is the same as:

use XUL::Gui qw(... !:xul);

display mozilla => 0, ...;

compatibility

internet explorer has limited support for some of the mechanisms used in XUL::Gui. some things won't work right or at all. event handlers work if you use _onclick instead of onclick (since ie doesn't support setting event handlers with setAttribute like every other browser...)

ymmv. patches welcome
