adding a sidebar to firebird

Post by apaotsdeveloper »

hello

this is my first post so i hope i dont do anything wrong (and yes, my english is a mess)

i made a sidebar (heyho)
<a href='http://www.ots.at/xul/test1.php'>http://www.ots.at/xul/test1.php</a>

and i want to add it to the firbird browser (windows, latest version)
well ... it dosnt#t work

thats my script to add it

function addMozillaPanel() {
if ((typeof window.sidebar == "object") && (typeof window.sidebar.addPanel == "function"))
{
window.sidebar.addPanel ("presseportal.at",
"http://www.ots.at/xul/test1.php","");
}
else
{
var rv = window.confirm ("This page is enhanced for use with Netscape 6/7. "
+ "Would you like to upgrade now?");
if (rv)
document.location.href = "http://home.netscape.com/download/index.html";
}
}

you can find it here
http://www.ots.at/xul/addsidebar.php

the strange thing is: it works with mozilla1.4beta (no problem)

does firebird support sidebars?
if not, will it ever?

any workarounds?

it seems, firebird knows, that i added the sidebar, but i doesn't display it.

thanks for your help.......

I am sorry Firebird doesn't currently have a web based sidebars. As for will it ever you can preaty much bet on it. I believe that they have some of the frame work for it in 0.6. If you go to your Bookmarks, and see a folder called web panels. I think that that is the way Mozilla Firebird dev's are working on a new system to implament web based sidebars. Hopefully by 0.7 or Mozilla 1.5 we will find out. So stay tuned.
