Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for executing a dialog using one or more Extensible Markup Language (XML) components and one or more embedded scripts includes an XML engine that parses an XML component describing a dialog. The XML component includes elements describing visual aspects of user interfaces (UIs) of the dialog and scripts describing functional aspects of the dialog. The system includes a graphical user interface (GUI) framework operable to access elements parsed from the XML component by the XML engine and generate the UIs of the dialog from the elements parsed from the XML component. The system includes a script engine including an interpreter that executes the scripts in the XML component in response to particular events to provide the functional aspects of the dialog and a runtime library including particular functions callable from the scripts in the XML component that provide particular functional aspects of the dialog when called. The scripts in the XML component have read/write access to elements parsed from the XML component by the XML engine.
