Formatting a description.
I'm diving into XUL finally and am trying to see how I can make an XUL interface to my IRC bot to get stats on a nickname or something. Right now I've only been able to setup the window and a menu. I'd like to put formatted text into a <description> element (or is there a better one?) but can't seem to do so dynamically. I can do what i want fine if I code it in that way using this:
Code:
<description id="text-desplay"> <html:h1>Statistics</html:h1> <html:br/> <html:b>Nick</html:b>: kicken<html:br/> ... </description> That displays exactly as I would expect, however if I try to set the value using javascript later, it doesn't convert the html tags into what they do. It also won't convert a \n into a new line. This is what I'm doing right now: Code:
this.textDisplay=document.getElementById('text-display');
this.textDisplay.value="Wiser Control Center<html:br/>\nGUI Version<html:br/>\n";
this.textDisplay.value+="Written by: Keith Maika <keithm@aoeex.com>\n";
this.textDisplay.value+="<html:br/>Version 0.01";
Here is the URL to the xul file: http://kicken.mine.nu:8008/extras/xul/wiser.xul Any help is appricated. Thanks much.

Hey Kicken - you might wanna post this or ask this on the #mozillazine irc channel - they can probably give you an answer pretty quick on this...
 I have'nt done anything yet that sets dynamic values by JavaScript - so I can't really provide an accurate answer to you...

Thanks, I'll have to check it out. I've just changed it now to use some labels that are formatted using css and some disabled text boxes. It works I guess and still looks about like I was going to make it before. This XUL is some interesting stuff. I like it, and known JS/CSS makes it pretty easy to use
