Mozilla Behaviors

Three years ago, I was experimenting on an intranet HTML interface to the managment software I was developing. For this one was IE only (Hey! It was intranet and IE had about 200% market share at that time), I heavily relied on behaviors. Behaviors are neat little files that encapsulate some java script, making it easily reusable.

I still think behaviors are a step forward in web development. But they are IE specific and not supported by Mozilla. Are they? No longer, thanks to Dean Edward's mozBehaviors, that bring DHTML behaviors to Mozilla (spotted at Darrel Norton's Blog). This is really cool stuff.

Hopefully we will see something similar for Opera, KHTML and related soon.
