Window-Q 0.1 d10 (complete single-window)

rue · Post by **rue** » July 9th, 2004, 7:19 pm

Window-Q 0.1 d10 (duality): <a href="http://www.eschew.org/misc/firefox/index.php?dir=&file=windowq-01-dev.xpi">Installer</a> and <a href="http://www.eschew.org/misc/firefox/index.php?dir=&file=windowq.jar">jar-file</a>.
.
It's finally here: the extension that TBP and SingleWindow aspire to be. This is a Single-Window Mode for mozilla and Firefox. The only known backdoor: enabling a site's popup-allowance will permit new windows for that site during unattended page-load.
.
Tested under Firefox 0.9.2 and moz1.3.1 -- should it fail elsewhere, just drop a line.

Installed fine... went into extensions and clicked the home page link and it opened a new window. :P

wig: Haha- I suppose it can be added. Does TBP cover that? :P

So far, works great. But I found links in my gmail still get two tabs open.

What about sized windows? I mean if a site wants to open a 500*500 window it obviously shouldn't be opened in a tab but a new small window

morphis:
I need a whole lot more info: browser-build / platform, other extensions, any relevant prefs you might have set (browser.block.target_new_window), right vs. left vs. middle-click, and lastly, if you can post the relevant source for the link.. or, better, send yourself a dummy-message (with link) and save/zip/pm-send the whole page.

Actually, it should be opened in a new tab, but enclosed in a sized-iframe. Tricky, but do-able.

It isn't a big deal and I have no idea if TBP, TBE, or any of the others do... I just got a kick out of it. :)

TBP doesn't seem to spawn double tabs when clicking on links on the GMail website. What it does do, unfortunately, is open a new window AND a new tab...

Does anyone know where I can find the source of the Gmail link handling function OpenExtLink()?

rue I tried to use the code from windowq before in singlewindow and it was working quite well. However I found this site: http://www.outoftimemovie.com/ and it does not work at all with the code for catching js-links enabled :( (tabs opens but are empty) Any suggestions?

TheOneKEA:
Ah- excellent. "OpenExtLink" is defined as an onclick-handler -- directly on the link. I saw onclick-deference in browser.js, but didn't pay it mind. See if it works, now.

Fixed the url-handling for relative urls. Unfortunately, a browser-bug is exposed: moz1.3.1 isn't suppressing the popup for that site. It's because the open-call is in a timeout. I'll have to verify with Firefox.

pass4: javascript: relative urls are handled proper

What line # is browser.js? Perhaps I too can perform onclick-dereferencing and fix this quirk as well.

Your site should work perfectly, now.

TheOneKEA:
You should take a look at windowQ.js. Via lxr, the <a href="http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/browser/base/content/browser.js#3797">relevant line</a> in browser.js.

I wired to a pref, so you can toggle popup-routing (see changelog).
