Official Announcements / Re: Firefox Extension Contest (deadline december 2007) - DC CODING CONTEST TOO

This is a WAG, but I would imagine you just need to look at the DOM and find the appropriate events to attach to. I'm not sure if in the JavaScript/DOM world they call them 'callbacks' or not, but that would be my guess.-tinjaw (November 20, 2007, 03:48 PM)
I thought so, but then DOM is only a representation of the document. Nothing there lets you control cookies, read/write FF preference settings or access functions such as Save As. There's a Mozilla DOM reference here:
http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Gecko_DOM_Reference
but it doesn't help with what I was (once) trying to do.
