(Mozilla) XForms in IE
Peter has talked about it for some time, but now his MozzIE project is available on Sourceforge! It is a plugin that allows you to use Gecko as a rendering engine to display XHTML and XForms (and SVG I think) in Internet Explorer. It also includes various patches of his own, that we (slowly) are incorporating in our codebase.
I haven’t tried it myself (I have no Windows installation), so I have no idea how it works, etc.

Thanks for the blog allan, in answer to your comments svg: mozzie includes a build for svg support. How does it work: IE supports loading “Active Documents” which are OLE objects that can render in-place. When an xhtml web pages is downloaded the registered handler (MozzIE) is loaded and the page passed to Gecko which includes all of the excellent standards support and the XForms processor. Once Firefox 1.5 and the XForms.xpi is stable we will be building and releasing against that. Have to say would not have got as far as I have without your excellent support and the fantastic mozilla + Xforms browser and look forward to the two projects co-operating in the future.
