I'm creating a custom web page to display my SeaMonkey bookmarks my way.
I have chosen to use nested unordered lists. I have ~3500 bookmarks in
>500 folders nested several levels deep. I have two problems.
The default indentation is too large causing items to line-wrap.
The presence of bullets serves no purpose and is *UGLY*.
I've been wandering a convoluted path thru the web finding only enough
to tantalize. I keep ending up on poorly designed pages.
Suggestions?
My bookmark hierarchy has four levels of folders. I have the following
in the userChrome.css file in the chrome folder of my profile:
/* Indent folders */
@-moz-document
url("file:///xxx/bookmarks.html")
{ body { margin-left: 2em !important; font-size: 12pt }
h3 + dl { margin-left: 2em !important } }
where xxx is the full path to my bookmarks.html file.
I automatically export my bookmarks from places.sqlite to bookmarks.html
every time I terminate SeaMonkey, which is often since I frequntly
switch between profiles (which effectively terminates and then
relaunches SeaMonkey). The export is effected by having
user_pref("browser.bookmarks.autoExportHTML", true);
// automatically export bookmarks into an HTML file
in my user.js file in my profile. (The // indicates a comment to remind
me why I have that entry. The ; at the end of the user_pref statement
is mandatory.)
I copied those into the appropriate files.
NOTHING happened :<
Did you replace the xxx with the actual path to your bookmarks.html
file? You do have a bookmarks.html file?
Yes. But I suspect a system problem of some sort.
I posted in wee hours of morning making no more than a <i got troubles>
post.
The other associated symptom was that edit of user.js had had no effect.
I manually tweaked the preference using about:config . I still got no
HTML file on shutdown.
Having been in customer service <different industry ;> for decades, I
suspected "Murphy". So I just now created an empty file with the
appropriate name. Still "no joy in Mudville" ;/
I've avoided addons/addins/etc since the Netscape 4 days - so that's not
the problem.
I've had no cause to tweak userChrome.css nor user.js for >> 10 years.
Is there a bug I would not have noticed?
I've set aside this afternoon to discover some diagnostic test cases. I
*DOUBT* that any explicit diagnostics for this case exists. I was thus
going to search out articles on how/why to tweak those files.
Suggestions welcome :}
P.S. I've been a "corner case" since ~"Hector was a pup" ;/
