You guys are misunderstanding EQ2 UI XML. It's not internet XML, nor can EQ2 do basic HTML stuff (aside from the gimpy HTML window). This XML was just a handy format to keep size, location and graphical settings for UI objects, so it didn't all have to be hard-coded in executable code. The OnEvents allow us to basically run in-game slash commands or change UI object values, but there's no way for us to search through any information in any format; the only searching in the UI is hard-coded into the window (like when visitng an apartment or searching the market). We can't use HTML, can't use JavaScript, nothing.

Edit: I did misread some of the references to the HTML window. Regardless, it can barely handle basic HTML.
