Styling Panels of a Firefox Addon - firefox-addon

So I created a Widget that the user clicks on and it opens up a Panel, I have a couple of Questions about the panel.
How Do I style the Panels borders, background color, etc..? I'm including an HTML file in it's contentURL, can I add CSS to alter it? If so how do I select it via CSS?
I also want to add a Close Button and keep the panel open always unless they click the close button.
On second thought, for the Add-on i'm trying to program it might be better if I make a window, is a window pretty stylable so I can make it look cooler?
Thanks for any help.

I don't think you can style panel borders. The panel border styles depend on the operating system and you cannot touch them. You can only really influence the inner area of the panel, effectively you get an iframe inside the panel that you can play with. E.g. to change the background your panel can contain:
<style type="text/css">
html
{
background-color: red;
}
</style>

You cannot, the panel is not a real HTML object, but a XUL window with an iframe or HTML inside.
I believe since Firefox 30 you can access to this object, you can read:
Avoid panel to autoHide in Firefox extension
Of course it's a kind of hack, looks like Mozilla is not really "open" ^^

I was able to modify the border of the panel:
/*run this first*/
var win = Services.wm.getMostRecentWindow('navigator:browser');
var panel = win.document.createElement('panel');
var screen = Services.appShell.hiddenDOMWindow.screen;
var props = {
noautohide: true,
noautofocus: false,
level: 'top',
style: 'padding:15px; margin:0; width:150px; height:200px; background-color:steelblue;border-radius:15px'
}
for (var p in props) {
panel.setAttribute(p, props[p]);
}
win.document.querySelector('#mainPopupSet').appendChild(panel);
panel.addEventListener('dblclick', function () {
panel.parentNode.removeChild(panel)
}, false);
panel.openPopup(null, 'overlap', screen.availLeft, screen.availTop);
So if you know the panel of your id just do this:
var sss = Cc['#mozilla.org/content/style-sheet-service;1'].getService(Ci.nsIStyleSheetService);
var css = '';
css += '#YourPanelIdHere { border-radius:15px; opacity:.5; border:1px solid red; }';
var cssEnc = encodeURIComponent(css);
var newURIParam = {
aURL: 'data:text/css,' + cssEnc,
aOriginCharset: null,
aBaseURI: null
}
var cssUri = Services.io.newURI(newURIParam.aURL, newURIParam.aOriginCharset, newURIParam.aBaseURI);
sss.loadAndRegisterSheet(cssUri, sss.USER_SHEET);
//sss.unregisterSheet(cssUri, sss.USER_SHEET);
That will style your panel. You don't have to use panel id in the style sheet, just anything that target your panel will do.

Add class/id to path in TinyMCE4

Quick question:
Is there a way to add class and/or ID of the elements in the path of TinyMCE status bar under content?
TinyMCE has no such capability built into its status bar. If you wanted to add that you could do so by modifying the code. I would note that with any type of longer ID or Class labels that status bar will get filled up quickly which is why it does not do so by default.
The Elements in the Statusbar have a bunch of classes from Tiny Editor, you can examine it in the browser (chrome or firefox) with f12.
From there, it is no problem to override the current styling with some code like
.mce-statusbar.mce-container {
position : relative;
height : 0;
margin-top : -20px;
opacity : 0.5;
background-color :#fff;
border : 1px solid #333;
}
Beside, you can manipulate the code, where content is written in the Statusbar. See Plugin Wordcount for example. They are using some code like this to update the statusbar and enter a class name:
if (statusbar) {
Delay.setEditorTimeout(editor, function () {
statusbar.insert({
type: 'label',
name: 'wordcount',
text: ['Words: {0}', getCount()],
classes: 'wordcount',
disabled: editor.settings.readonly
}, 0);
editor.on('setcontent beforeaddundo undo redo keyup', debouncedUpdate);
}, 0);
}

How to change the default position of button tooltips in CKEditor 5

Having a small issue with tooltips in the editor, read the api but can't understand what it is saying and I can't seem to find examples anywhere that I can understand either.
I have set up a Classic Editor build, and all the buttons on the toolbar have tooltips with the default position below the button, I want to be able, just for this one instance of the editor, to change the tooltip position to above the buttons instead. The instance is set up like this:
ClassicEditor.create( document.querySelector( '#content' ) )
.then( editor => {
console.log( 'Editor was initialized', editor );
this.annEditorInstance = editor;
} )
.catch( err => {
console.error( err.stack );
} );
That creates an editor instance that is set up exactly as I want, except for the issue with the tooltip. How do I change this? Thanks in advance.
There are two approaches to the problem:
CSS
Tooltips elements have either .ck-tooltip_s or .ck-tooltip_n class. By default all CKEditor 5 tooltips have the former so you could override it in your styles and make it act like the later:
<style>
.ck.ck-tooltip.ck-tooltip_s {
bottom: auto;
top: calc(-1 * var(--ck-tooltip-arrow-size));
transform: translateY( -100% );
}
.ck.ck-tooltip.ck-tooltip_s .ck-tooltip__text::after {
top: auto;
bottom: calc(-1 * var(--ck-tooltip-arrow-size));
transform: translateX( -50% );
border-color: var(--ck-color-tooltip-background) transparent transparent transparent;
border-width: var(--ck-tooltip-arrow-size) var(--ck-tooltip-arrow-size) 0 var(--ck-tooltip-arrow-size);
}
</style>
JS
The UI of the editor is an MVC(VM) structure. The position of the tooltip can be controlled using the JS and the Button#tooltipPosition property ('s' or 'n').
E.g. you can access the toolbar UI elements using editor.ui.view.toolbar and change their properties:
editor.ui.view.toolbar.items.map( item => item.tooltipPosition = 'n' )
but note that not all toolbar items are buttons. Some, for instance, are dropdowns so you'd need to use item.buttonView.tooltipPosition = 'n' in that case. So unless you really want to use JS, I'd go with a simple CSS solution.

iframe prevents iScroll scrolling on mobile Safari

I am using iScroll on my mobile enable website (using iPhone here) to scroll inside a div.
In this this div, I have an iframe with a fixed height like this:
<body>
<div id="iscroller">
<iframe id="theIframe"></iframe>
Other stuff
</div>
</body>
Now, while scrolling within the div, everything works as expected but I cannot scroll when the scrolling gesture begins on the iframe.
The problem is described here pretty well: https://github.com/cubiq/iscroll/issues/41
So, I used the css workaround from that post by applying pointer-events:none to the iframe.
Now scrolling works perfectly but I cannot click any links which are defined within the iframe because all click/touch events on the iframe seems to be blocked due to pointer-events: none.
So, I thought:
"Ok, while the user scrolls, I need pointer-events:none. If he is
not scrolling (and instead clicking), I must set pointer-events:auto
in order to let the click/touch events pass."
So I did this:
CSS
#theIframe{pointer-events:none}
JavaScript
$("#theIframe").bind("touchstart", function(){
// Enable click before click is triggered
$(this).css("pointer-events", "auto");
});
$("#theIframe").bind("touchmove", function(){
// Disable click/touch events while scrolling
$(this).css("pointer-events", "none");
});
Even adding this doesn't work:
$("#theIframe").bind("touchend", function(){
// Re-enable click/touch events after releasing
$(this).css("pointer-events", "auto");
});
No matter what I do: Either scrolling doesn't work or clicking the link inside the iframe doesn't work.
Doesn't work. Any ideas?
I found the perfect solution. Works great on iOS and Android.
The basic idea is to put a div layer on top of that iframe. This way scrolling works smoothly.
If the user wants to tap/click on an element on that iframe I simply catch that click on the layer, save the x and y coordinates and trigger a click event on the iframe's content at these coordinates:
HTML:
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="layer"></div>
<iframe id="theIframe"></iframe>
</div>
Other stuff
CSS:
#layer{
position:absolute;
opacity:0;
width:100%;
height:100%;
top:0;
left:0;
right:0;
bottom:0;
z-index:2
}
JavaScript:
$('#layer').click(function(event){
var iframe = $('#theIframe').get(0);
var iframeDoc = (iframe.contentDocument) ? iframe.contentDocument : iframe.contentWindow.document;
// Find click position (coordinates)
var x = event.offsetX;
var y = event.offsetY;
// Trigger click inside iframe
var link = iframeDoc.elementFromPoint(x, y);
var newEvent = iframeDoc.createEvent('HTMLEvents');
newEvent.initEvent('click', true, true);
link.dispatchEvent(newEvent);
});
I found a solution for this, it happens to be close to what other guys already mentioned on github but this may be useful for whoever wants to find a fast working resolution for this problem.
I'm assuming a few things, like there's only one iscroll container, here represented as ID. This is not properly tested and needs refactor. It's working in my project, but I changed it here slightly for the example but I guess you'll easily understand what you need to do:
var $iscroll = $('#iscroll');
document.addEventListener('touchstart', function(e) {
if ($iscroll.find('iframe').length > 0){
$.each($iscroll.find('iframe'), function(k,v){
var $parent = $(v).parent().first();
if ($parent.find('.preventTouch').length == 0){
$('<div class="preventTouch" style="position:absolute; z-index:2; width:100%; height:100%;"></div>')
.prependTo($parent);
};
$parent
.css('position', 'relative').css('z-index', 1);
});
$iscroll.find('.preventTouch').on('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
e.stopPropagation();
return false;
});
};
};
document.addEventListener('touchend', function(e) {
if ($iscroll.find('iframe').length > 0){
setTimeout(function(){
var $iscroll = $('#iscroll');
$iscroll.find('.preventTouch').remove();
$iscroll.find('iframe').css('z-index', '');
$iscroll.find('.preventTouch').off('click');
}, 400);
};
};
Thanks for looking!

TinyMCE editor fixed size with no scrollers?

At the moment I have this:
tinyMCE.init({
// General options
mode : "exact",
elements : "fkField, lkField, ukcField, khField",
theme : "advanced",
plugins : "table",
width : "300",
height: "185",
// Theme options
theme_advanced_buttons1 : "fontsizeselect, bold,italic,underline,bullist, cleanup, |,justifyleft,justifycenter,justifyright",
theme_advanced_buttons2 : "tablecontrols",
theme_advanced_buttons3 : "",
theme_advanced_buttons4 : "",
theme_advanced_toolbar_location : "bottom",
theme_advanced_toolbar_align : "center",
theme_advanced_resizing : false
});
This gives me a editor with the size of 300x185.
Now in this editor, I would like to do so you can only write until the editor is full. (without the scroller)
So you are unable to enter more text, and the scroller should not appear (disable scrolling)
Right now you can at the bottom of inside the editor just make new line and it will add the scroller <- which i do not want to happen
How can i do this? Is this unpossible? I have made research for some time now, but maybe it's just me searching wrong..
Thanks
add in a ccs file the following code
.mceContentBody{
overflow-y:hidden!important;
}
and add the path of css file in content_css attribut of tinymce
content_css : /path/to/css/file.ss
You will need to write an own plugin. Check the editor height on each Keystroke (you may use the built in tinymce event onKeyUp). If the heigth changes remove the last inserted code.
EDIT: Howto get the current editor iframe heigth
var currentfr=document.getElementById(editor.id + '_ifr');
if (currentfr.contentDocument && currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight) { //ns6 syntax
currentfr.height = currentfr.contentDocument.body.offsetHeight + 26;
}
else if (currentfr.Document && currentfr.Document.body.scrollHeight) { //ie5+ syntax
currentfr.height = currentfr.Document.body.scrollHeight;
}
I got it to work by adding this to my extra tinyMCE CSS file:
IFRAME {overflow:hidden;}
Previously, the scrollbars were only off in Firefox. This fixes it for Chrome as well. However, it does add a gray bar the side of a scrollbar at the bottom, so I need to enlarge the height of my text editor.
for me it worked by just adding rules to a regular stylesheet, it wasn't needed to add a css file to content_css attribute (example is in scss)
.my-tinymce-container {
width: 200px;
.mce-edit-area {
height: 200px;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
}
A lot simpler and easy solution would be:
tinymce.init({
selector: '#container',
},
init_instance_callback: function (ed) {
tinymce.activeEditor.getBody().style.overflow = 'hidden'
},
});
Explanation:
In Init callback get the body for TinyMCE and change style as required.
In this case to remove scrollbar overflow = 'hidden'.

With jQuery, how can I gray out and disable a webpage and then show some kind of spinner on top of that?

I am still pretty "green" when it comes to web development and javascript/jQuery programming, so any help is appreciated. Here is what I want to do.
I want to do the same thing that a jQuery UI dialog box does where it puts a semi-transparent image over the entire page and disables clicking of any of the controls underneath.
I want to know how I might put some kind of spinner overlay on top to show that the website is working in the background. If I can use a animated GIF file that would be fine, but I'm not quite sure on the best approach to this.
Here is an example of the grayed-out effect with a dialog box:
jQuery UI Example. I want to know how to produce this effect without the dialog box on top. I do not have a good example of the spinner behavior.
All suggestions, website referrals, and code is appreciated.
EDIT: I do not mean a "spinner control". I will try to find an example of what I am thinking of by spinner.
EDIT: What I mean by "spinner" is a loading gif of some kind like the "Indicator Big" gif on this website: http://ajaxload.info/
I always like to use the jQuery BlockUI plugin:
http://malsup.com/jquery/block/
Check out the demos, you'll probably find something you're looking for there.
One way to do it is to have a div that is hidden by default and has properties to set the background colour to a grey (#666 for instance) and its transparency set to something like 0.8.
When you want to display use jQuery to get the size of the screen/browser window, set the size of your div and display it with a high zindex, so it displays on top. You can also give this div your spinner gif graphic (no repeat, and centered).
Code:
#json-overlay {
background-color: #333;
opacity: 0.8;
position: absolute;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
z-index: 100;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
background-image: url('ajax-loader.gif');
background-position: center;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
Only things to watch out for are select elements in IE6, as these will show through the div, so you can either use jQuery bgframe to solve that, or what I have done in the past is just hide select elements when displaying the div and showing them again when hiding your div
Why don't you just use "modal:true"?
$(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog($.extend({}, dialogOptions, {
autoOpen: false,
width: 500,
modal: true,
show: {
effect: "blind",
duration: 1000
},
hide: {
effect: "fade",
duration: 1000
}
}));
$("#profile_edit").click(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog("open");
});
$("#save_and_close").click(function () {
$("#dialog").dialog("close");
});
});
You can use something like this jquery code. Pass the id of the element that you want to stay on top of the page:
function startModal(id) {
$("body").prepend("<div id='PopupMask' style='position:fixed;width:100%;height:100%;z-index:10;background-color:gray;'></div>");
$("#PopupMask").css('opacity', 0.5);
$("#"+id).data('saveZindex', $("#"+id).css( "z-index"));
$("#"+id).data('savePosition', $("#"+id).css( "position"));
$("#"+id).css( "z-index" , 11 );
$("#"+id).css( "position" , "fixed" );
}
function stopModal(id) {
if ($("#PopupMask") == null) return;
$("#PopupMask").remove();
$("#"+id).css( "z-index" , $("#"+id).data('saveZindex') );
$("#"+id).css( "position" , $("#"+id).data('savePosition') );
}
you can use simple div and then ajaxstart and ajaxstop event
<div id="cover"></div>
$('#cover')
.hide()
.ajaxStart(function () {
$(this).fadeIn(100);
})
.ajaxStop(function () {
$(this).fadeOut(100);
});
