By the way, I’ve updated the session store API docs, so they should be complete now.

Please do put it on MDC — I’d suggest doing it at, say:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Implementing_inline_spellchecking_in_extensions

That’d be fantastic!

Awesome, once again, THANK YOU Sheppy for all your hard work on this. Seriously this is awesome.

I’d like to write an article on getting ‘in-line’ spellcheck to work in extensions (in chrome). It’s changing rapidly on the trunk, but I have code samples and can write a guide on doing it, and keep it updated until 2.0 is released. Is that something I so do there, or instead on KB.mozillazine.org?

Cheers

OK, the docs were complete as of the time I wrote them, but clearly things have come along since then. I’ll work on getting them updated. This is the kind of info that’s especially helpful — I don’t have as much time as I’d like to go back and be sure everything’s still current.

One more suggestion: nsISessionStore has been significantly extended in bug 344640 – and the Undo Close Tab related methods are also currently missing in the documentation. See http://lxr.mozilla.org/mozilla1.8/source/browser/components/sessionstore/nsISessionStore.idl#52 for the (supposedly) pretty complete interface.

Suggestions:
1. Make “Creating a Microsummary” a subheading of “Microsummaries” (e.g., Heading 2 -> Heading 3)
2. “search suggestions, which appear in a popup box while typing in the search bar.” Change to “dropdown list”.
3. Search engine manager should be Initial Caps? (Search Engine Manager)
Overall, a very nice resource!
