E4X in Firefox 1.5

Dec. 4th, 2005 | 11:58 pm

I'm learning advanced AJAX. So I just downloaded Firefox 1.5, the latest from the Mozilla camp. In addition to HTML Canvas and SVG 1.1, one of the most exciting features in this release is the new JavaScript language (version 1.6) with its support for "ECMAScript for XML" (E4X). I didn't know Mozilla was working on E4X! They beat Flash to it.

Basically no more XML sit-ups. E4X makes it really easy to manipulate XML content on the fly.

So I wrote a little sample HTML... )
