486202 - Need a method to append toolbar item from javascript.

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Toolkit :: Toolbars and Toolbar Customization, defect)

Description

[Nochum Sossonko [:Natch]]

While attempting to write a test for bug 456984 I was not able to reliably get the new tab customizable button in the toolbar. There should be a method for that.

Err, that should have been bug 456984.

Err, something like the following should work:

var bar = document.getElementById("xsb-search-bar2");
bar.currentSet = "mailviews-container,spring,search-container";
bar.setAttribute("currentset", bar.currentSet);
document.persist(bar, "currentset");

I've been using this in one of my Thunderbird extensions for ages.

Excellent! Thanks Philip, for the test I'll just use:

var bar = top.opener.document.getElementById('nav-bar');
bar.currentSet = bar.currentSet + ',new-window-button';
