Additional Toolbar Tutorial Updates

April 7, 2008

It seems that the Googlebar Lite build script that I updated in Chapter 7 of the Firefox Toolbar Tutorial had a number of bugs. They have all been squashed, and the script has been updated yet again. At some point, I will rewrite the script from scratch and make it much more portable. In addition to the updated build script example, I have corrected a few typos regarding the automated packaging process (also in chapter 7).

    Hi, i have built a toolbar based on your tutorial, and i want to say i love the tutorial, but a little tip would be to update the guide and write a notice, still finding “event.preventBubble()” in the tutorial. Need to update it to event.stopPropagation(), then the toolbar works like a charm in FF 3.0b5. (event.preventBubble() fucks up the browser in b5, lol) :)

    Best regards,

    Thanks for the heads up on this, Pontus. I’ll make the changes when I get a chance.

    A nice PDF of this tutorial would go down well making it portable and easier for printing; I like to read things like this away from the comp (usually on my commute to/from work).

    Thanks for all the hard work so far, it’s great stuff.

    I’ve been meaning to make a PDF out of this article for some time, Mike. I’ll try to put that up on my radar and get something out soon. Thanks for the reminder!
