Using dynamic styling information - MDC. The CSS Object Model (CSSOM), part of the DOM, exposes specific interfaces allowing manipulation of a wide amount of information regarding CSS.
Initially defined in the DOM Level 2 Style recommendation, these interfaces forms now a specification, CSS Object Model (CSSOM) which aims at superseding it. In many cases, and where possible, it really is best practice to dynamically manipulate classes via the className property since the ultimate appearance of all of the styling hooks can be controlled in a single stylesheet. One's JavaScript code also becomes cleaner since instead of being dedicated to styling details, it can focus on the overall semantics of each section it is creating or manipulating, leaving the precise style details to the stylesheet.
However, there are cases where actually obtaining or manipulating the rules can be useful (whether for whole stylesheets or individual elements), and that is described in further detail below. DOM Style Object. Reloading flash after setting wmode=transparent? - JavaScript / DHTML / AJAX.

Debugging Firefox Extension Using Log File. In this post I will cover the following topics: Understanding debug requirements Using the Mozilla preferences service to store debug mode Using Mozilla file I/O to write debug messages into a file In one of me recent post I’ve talked about how to setup a development environment in Firefox.
One of the problems in developing firefox extensions and i think software in general is how to debug a problem occurring on client machine that is unreproducible at the development side. It’s hard enough to debug firefox extensions locally; to try and understand what happened on a remote machine is very difficult. To debug on the local side I usually prefer to log information to the Firebug console as a mechanism to trace what is going on inside my Firefox extension. UUID (GUID) Generator on the WEB.

This type of UUID is generated using the current time, a clock id which changes in case the current time is found to be older than the latest known time a UUID is generated and an IEE 802 hardware address which should be unique.Still the following disclaimer applies: Disclaimer:The provided UUID (GUID) is provided AS IS without warranty of any kind, not even the warranty that the generated UUID is actually unique. 10 Things They Never Tell You In Firefox Extension School.

The tips are listed in order of complexity, beginning with the shortest and simplest, and moving onto the longer and more complex ideas. Many XUL elements are without support for the CSS background-image property, but many of them do support list-style-image. Window.openDialog - MDC. « DOM Reference Summary window.openDialog is an extension to window.open.

The optional parameters, if present, will be bundled up in a JavaScript Array object and added to the newly created window as a property named window.arguments. They may be referenced in the JavaScript of the window at any time, including during the execution of a load handler.
