In this example we'll show how to convert a simple XHTML form into a desktop web application. In fact there is so little to it that it barely warrants a page...all you need to do is rename any HTML or XHTML document so that the file extension is .webapp--or deliver an application from a server with the MIME type application/webapp+xml--and Sidewinder will be triggered to open and run your document as a desktop web application.
To begin we'll take the Flickr search form and rename the file so that its file extension is .webapp. Once you have saved the file, double-click it and Sidewinder will open it.
You can run also run this web application directly from our SVN server.
Now that we have a desktop web application that we can work on, we'll start to add some more features.
