I want to make it possible for Firefox 3 to apply some site- and
page-specific user settings to pages during layout. Some settings will
get applied by rules in a user stylesheet (f.e. text and background
colors), while others will get applied via other mechanisms (f.e. text
size, which prescontext apparently handles).
I'm trying to figure out how best to integrate the application of these
various settings into layout.
I chatted with dbaron about it, and he suggested this might best be
accomplished with a new settings object that gets queried by the various
other objects for relevant settings at appropriate stages in the loading
process.
For example, stylecontext (?) might query the object when it's ready to
style the page, while prescontext might query it before setting the
page's text size.
Does that seem like the right approach, and are there any potential
pitfalls to be aware of? Is there any reason not to implement such an
object as a JavaScript component?
