There is no Mainwindow object for Firefox browser.
Please, find the differences between IE and FF in the Embedded help of ToolbarStudio/Firefox section |

This is not mentioned even in ToolbarStudio/Firefox section.
The documentation almost is helpless.
So how programmer to know that? Try and error... a waste time job.
In my experience, you must try this:
| Code: |
function Launch(tool) {
var isIE;
var document = null;
try {
if(MainWindow != undefined) {
isIE = true;
document = MainWindow.document;
}
} catch(e) {
isIE = false;
document = tool.explorer.document;
}
var div = document.createElement(.........)
}
|
This is a terrible design to make programmer feel bad.
Some simple way ToolbarStudio should do is to make a global object MainWindow = tool.explorer in firefox, or export document object as global object and a global variable "isIE" to reduce our work.
This is a simple effort but it will make programmer feel better and easy to use this product.
If a product waste programmer's time more, more programmer will give it up.
I like this product, but in many aspect, it should be improved, especially in API design between IE and Firefox.
Thanks. |
