Question

I’m making a Firefox add-on using the Add-on SDK. I can’t find a way to use JavaScript code in a panel. Here is what I’ve done:

//file main.js
data = require("self").data

var MeteoPanel = require("panel").Panel({
  width:740,
  height:350,
  contentURL: data.url("test.html"), 
  allow:true
});

require("widget").Widget({
  id: "open-meteo-btn",
  label: "Meteo",
  contentURL: data.url("icon.png"),
  panel: MeteoPanel
});

This works but I can’t use JavaScript in the test.html page.
Does someone have a solution?

Answer 1

Try putting the js in a separate file, and then:

var MeteoPanel = require("panel").Panel({
  width:740,
  height:350,
  contentURL: data.url("test.html"), 
  contentScriptFile: data.url("yourJSFile.js"), //Add this line
  allow:true
});

Seems like contentScriptFile accepts an array too, so you could change its value to [data.url("file1.js"),data.url("file2.js")] if you need for instance to add 2 source files.
