XUL allows HTML to be embedded, and those HTML elements are handled by Mozilla's HTML engine, but the non-HTML elements are handled by Mozilla's XUL engine. Both the HTML and XUL engines use Mozilla's layout engine, which has been designed to be fairly general. > If not what browsers currently parse XUL? Again, since it's open source, I can't say for sure who is using it, but it seems like Mozilla is the main browser using it right now. There may be other browsers using it, but not the major ones like MSIE and Opera (as far as I know). There may also be apps (not necessarily Web browsers) that use XUL. I'm sorry that these answers are so vague. If you really want to know more, you can send email to mozilla-xpfe@mozilla.org (subscribe via mozilla-xpfe-request@mozilla.org with "subscribe" in Subject field). Erik
