On the filtering and extensions methods, i started repeating myself a lot such as: public static Sponsor WithID(this IQueryable<Sponsor>qry, int ID) { return qry.SingleOrDefault(s => s.ID== ID); } public static Keyword With...
I'm going to develop a Firefox extension which should put a button in the loaded pages, when the tag: <input type="file" ... > is found and a file has been selected. Likewise, I think the skype toolbar does a similar thing: when a website contains a phone number, the Skype extension automatically converts it into a button that can be cl...

The file overlay.js, which contains the extension's logic, manages the "file choose" event through this method: var xpitest = { ... onFileChosen: function(e) { var fileInput = ...
My FireFox extension has an external dll dependency for functioning. So I include that dll inside my xpi and copy that dll to the right directory in first run. But it does not work for me because I found my own dll (written in XPCOM C++) expects to see that external dll during install. So every time I have to manually put the external dl...
I am not sure if this is possible, partly because I have no clue what the terminology would be...

They would then login as norma...

Anyone reading my last batch of questions knows I'm working on a Firefox add-on for my office intranet. So, here's the latest; this time a concern instead of an obstacle: So, my first plan was to build a sign-in form right into the chrome, so that it blended and didn't require any dealings with iframes/browsers/etc. But after some think...
I need to allow client users to extend the data contained by a JPA entity at runtime. In other words I need to add a virtual column to the entity table at runtime. This virtual column will only be applicable to certain data rows and there could possibly be quite a few of these virtual columns. As such I don't want to create an actual add...

Background I have an existing extension designed to accompany a browser-based game (The extension is mine, the game is not). The extension had been scraping the pages as they came in for the data it needed and making ajax requests for taking any actions.

Hey guys, I am building a Firefox extension and have come a long way. One of the parts of my extension is where I display a DIV at the bottom of the page and I want to put an ad into the div, but for some reason every time it does so, it redirects to another page entirely with the ad on it. So it looks like its not allowing me to inse...
