7411 - Feature: Synchronous load for xul fragments

Status: VERIFIED WONTFIX

(Core :: XUL, defect, P3)

Description

[Steve Lamm]

Having a synchronously loaded xul fragment would make it possible to easily use
xul fragments as templates.

In other words, I want to be able to load a xul fragment and then change some
aspects of its contents.

Do you really need synchronous fragments?  Couldn't you have one loaded into the
document prior to the onload handler firing, and then use it then?  Is it a
requirement that you have to suck the fragment in at some later date?

Comment 2

[Steve Lamm]

I guess you are right, I could wait until the fragments load and then fillin
their content. If I wanted to use the same fragment as a template, would I just
make copies of one frament (i.e. newFrag = frag.clodeNode(true);)?

[David Hyatt]

Yeah. I'm closing this, since this is just really hard to do, and I think we
have a workaround.
