I don't see the overlay.js being used anywhere, but the ff.xul overlay (for browser.xul) is working for me, I can see the iframe (even if the content is not there since http://localhost:8080/dd.html is not valid on my machine, of course)
So, I gather that you want to put that iframe (src=http://localhost: 8080/dd.html) directly into the page. If yes, I would suggest following: 1) You still need the browser.xul overlay, that's the entry point of your extension 2) The overlay should listen for tab open (and perhaps close) events - see this page: https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XUL_School/Intercepting_Page_Loads 3) Every time a new tab is opened, you want to get a reference to the inner document 4) You can check whether it's actually an HTML page (could be XML, SVG, etc.) or if it's a page that you want to modify 5) Finally use DOM API such as appendChild() to append whatever you need to the document e.g. document.body.appendChild(document.createElement("iframe")); Honza On May 18, 9:22 am, ysh ln <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > > > > > > > > > >> For getting a clear picture on what the requirement is , i am attaching > >> the screenshots and XPI file that i have developed which displays an > >> applet . > >> The details are as follows: > > >> 1.
