How can I give some basic text editing functionality to a firefox plugin?
- by roddik
Hello. I'm writing a plugin to Firefox, which is basically a sidebar, that is filled with yaml-formatted information based on what user does on the page (just another web testing solution). I want to enable user to change generated text manually right in the sidebar and:
Add code-folding (folding click: \n text: some text to a single line)
Add highlighting of registered actions (click, fill and so on) and unregistered actions (syntax errors)
How do I do that? Is placing an iframe to the sidebar and trying to do that with html/js the best solution (seen it in a similar one)?
As you may have noticed, I'm a newbie in plugin writing, so please excuse if anything.
