Tabbrowser element

[integral]

Hey guys,

I'm developing a XUL app and I'd like to use XUL element "tabbrowser". Unfortunately this is impossible since tabbrowser can be only used by FF window. Is there any workaround to do this? Currently I'm writing a simple tabbrower on my own (using browser elements/tabs/tabbox/tabpanels etc...) but I wonder if there is any simpler way...

Thank you for any constructive reply.

If I were you, probably I'd download http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... .xml?raw=1 and http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... .css?raw=1 And do binding it, like http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ ... .css?raw=1

In addition, you can cut off functionalities you don't need at the moment.

I believe it is possible. The actual quote is: "Note: Starting in Firefox 3 (XULRunner/Gecko 1.9), this is only used in the main Firefox window and cannot be used in other XUL windows by third-party applications or extensions."

This is more meant for developers of extensions, indicating that they cannot use the tabbrowser there-in. In a separate XUL application, there is nothing stopping you from using the tabbrowser element just the way Firefox does (another XUL application...).

I am curious, what did you end up doing in the end?

Anyone know of a XUL app other than firefox that also uses the tabbrowser element?
