Question

I am developing an extension for firefox. I have a panel as follows –

<panel id = "popup_text" width = "300">
  Text here  
</panel>  

This pops up when i click on a label using this code :

<label value="FFWTS" popup="popup_text"/>

I want to make this panel popup automatically, using javascript. How can I do this?

Answer 1

You use panel.openPopup() or panel.openPopupAtScreen(), e.g.:

document.getElementById("popup_text").openPopupAtScreen(200, 200, false);
