Mozilla Ubiquity
Mozilla announced a new labs project, Ubiquity, last week. It's intended to be a keyboard driven interface to advanced functionality in the web browser, similar to Gnome Do, which I've been using a lot recently, and the Mac application Quicksilver.
I decided to have a quick play by re-implementing part of my Use the new microformats API in your Firefox 3.0 Extensions tip as a Ubiquity command. Following the tutorial I was able to directly transplant the code, replacing only content.document
with CmdUtils.getDocumentInsecure()
:
CmdUtils.CreateCommand({ name: "grab-hcard", homepage: "http://www.boogdesign.com/", author: { name: "Rob Crowther", email: "robertc@boogdesign.com"}, license: "MPL", execute: function() { Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/Microformats.js"); var uFcount = Microformats.count('hCard', CmdUtils.getDocumentInsecure(), {recurseExternalFrames: true}); if (uFcount > 0) { var uFlist = Microformats.get('hCard', CmdUtils.getDocumentInsecure(), {recurseExternalFrames: true}); displayMessage(uFlist[0].url[0]); } else { displayMessage('None found'); } } })
Download grab-hcard.js Note: This command does not work in the current version of Ubiquity, a 'is not a function' error, not worked out what the problem is yet.
