My boss asked me this yesterday just to gauge my response. Apparently, some of our clients are asking for "Web 3.0" I told him I really didn't know. He said when he's asked around the consensus is that it's microformats, etc. Frankly no one really knew either. (probably get a varied response now to "what is web 2.0?" still) I watche...
I have several nested X Windows - let's say - a scrollable window within a scrollable window (see the example below). In such case the main window contains (at least) the major scroll bars and the (major) drawing area they control. This drawing area on its turn contains (at least) a scrollable window batch - a (minor) main window, contai...
I have an <img> in an HTML document that I would like to highlight as though the user had highlighted it using the mouse. Is there a way to do that using JavaScript? I only need it to work in Mozilla, but any and all information is welcome. EDIT: The reason I want to select the image is actually not so that it appears highlighted, but ...
I'm running into a problem associating an invoked method in a plugin I'm writing with the appropriate plugin instance. The documentation at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Gecko_Plugin_API_Reference/Scripting_plugins doesn't give enough information to be truly useful on this. In a nutshell, I'm trying to understand just which scriptable...

However, there seems to be a bug in this method: it returns all node names in uppercase and all attribute name...

Because of several iframes, XUL browser elements, and so forth, I have a number of window objects in my XULRunner application. I'm looking for the best way to find the window object that a specified node belongs to using JavaScript.

Have you ever wanted to test and quantitatively show whether your application would perform better as a static build or shared build, stripped or non-stripped, upx or no upx, gcc -O2 or gcc -O3, hash or btree, etc etc. If so this is the thread for you. There are hundreds of ways to tune an application, but how do we collect, organize, pr...

What does Mozilla's XPCSafeJSObject wrapper actually do? MDC's documentation is as follows: This wrapper was created to address some problems with XPCNativeWrapper. In particular, some extensions want to be able to safely access non-natively-implemented content defined objects (and to access the underlying JavaScript object under an...

So I've set up a mouse listener (nsIDOMEventListener) and then when a click occurs, the handleEvent callback gives me access to the nsIDOMEvent. My question is, how do ...

My question is: how do I detect what mouse button that was pressed without using the click event? The simplest code that can demonstrate my pro...

Does anyone know if there is a way to make it work like IE/Opera? (ie. display a box even if the image file doesn't exists) - plugin or anythi...
