Hello, all. I'm not certain this is the right newsgroup for this query but it's the closest I could find. Apologies and request for guidance if I'm too far astray.
I have a xul based application I want to install in the sidebar. It consists of an app.xul file and an app.js file. I have tried two approaches but the preferred one does not work. I would prefer to install it as a URL. When I try that two things don't work: the popup menu does not display properly (minor) and the javascript is not found at all (major). The same problems occur if I use the URL in the main browser window. Is this a security issue and if so is there a solution for the URL approach? The second approach was to install it via XPI. This was successful. I can call the app as a chrome URL in the browser and it works. But I can not install the chrome URL in the sidebar (illegal). The only way to get it into the sidebar I have found is to hack it into /content/communicator/sidebar/local-panels.rdf. This is sooo not a good idea, imho. Is there a better way? < david
