Drawing a user interface based on preferences

Question

I want to use the built-in preference system for my xulrunner (Firefox) application. But I can't figure out how to easily drive the user interface based on preferences.

The user can specify a list of home pages, and each home page will show up in a different tab. Because the tabs are in the presentation layer, I'd like to create them using a template in the xul code. Is this possible?

I haven't seen a way to do this with xul templates. Is there an alternative templating system that would allow me to change the UI based on user preferences?

Answer 1

No, templating in XUL is not powerful enough, so you're stuck with writing JavaScript code that reads the preferences and opens the needed tabs.
