The panel has a property 'context'. context.window is the top level window; context.windows are the iframes. So context.window.* are the global variables. You should consider the window to be read-only: you can get data but not write data nor execute functions.
I'm not sure what you mean by "need access", but if you mean "read values" then you are set. Don't load Prototype into your extension, it will mess up Firefox. jjb On Dec 21, 6:07 pm, remi <[email protected]> wrote: > adding `parentPanel: "html"` to my Firebug.Panel added the panel under > the right section and implementing `updateSelection: function(element) > ` got me access to the currently selected DOM element. > > now my main problem is getting access to the page's javascript > environment. for instance ... maybe the page has a global variable or > I need access to jQuery or Prototype ... possible? > > On Dec 21, 2:35 pm, remi <[email protected]> wrote: > > > Firebug has a few sub-panels below the HTML panel: Style, Layout, & > > DOM. > > > I'm trying to add my own HTML sub-panel.
