This is useful when you want to have a script select Web pages to display according to your criteria, and have Mozilla display them.
The only documentation which I found about this feature is at:
http://www.mozilla.org/unix/remote.html
There is a Python library module (webbrowser.py) which supports this feature, and the following is an example of opening a Web page in a browser tab and auto-raising the browswer window:
ns = webbrowser.Netscape("mozilla")
ns.open(your_url+",new-tab",new=0,autoraise=1)
# I append ",new-tab" to the URL to work around the fact that
# webbrowser.Netscape.open() does not support the new-tab option.However, when I open a long text file, sometimes I want to show it to the user in the middle rather than at the beginning. If it were an HTML file with anchor at the desired place, I'd have no problems.
However, since such a file is plain text file, over whose contents I have no control, I need to have Mozilla scroll the file to the desired position. It is claimed that there is a remote command for scrolling. But all my attempts to google for the answer (or search inside www.mozilla.org) yielded no information about such a command.
So I am asking for the collective wisdom of Linux-IL to help me.
Thanks,
