Extension Learning
I just finished going through the Firefox Toolbar Tutorial at Born Geek. [via via] A first (lazy) attempt at tangibilizing my View Image Toolbar idea. I skipped some parts, so it’s rough and dirty. Just packed it up and installed, and need to restart Firefox to see what happens…












Ok, it didn’t work. But i figured out what the problem was. I didn’t add the
toolboxelement from the example, because i want this toolbar to be at the bottom of the window like the Find Toolbar. But then i didn’t think to add themain windowelement, so i guess the toolbar was floating in the ether somewhere. That’s fixed now, and the toolbar is at the bottom of the window below the status bar, but it doesn’t do anything yet. But still—pretty easy so far. I just gotta dig up the image functions from somewhere and plug ‘em in.Yes. And now i have a working Close button, essentially copied from the Find Toolbar. Took a while to get it working which i eventually tracked down to be because of some JavaScript syntax problems. I also looked at the
insertBeforefunction (to get it before the Status Bar), but didn’t feel like bothering to figure that out yet. This is gonna take a while…I like your idea and i would adopt it, since It took me a while to figure that the image where auto-zoomed to fit, consider adding an option in your toolbar to disable the auto-resizing too. Thanks and good luck !!
Yeah, i just wish i had more time to work on stuff like this. Haven’t touched it since that last comment.
