Does Uploadify offer any of the following options?
In the file dialog that is shown to users, display a checkbox rather than enable a CTRL + mouse click to allow the user to specify the items to upload.
In the file dialog that is shown to users, show in grey the items that have been uploaded already.
Display a tree view of files rather than present a file dialog.
If you know of a different library that does allow these features and is cross-browser compatible, please let me know, too.
Thanks.
It does not support any of these because the flash player which is used for Uploadify (Although nowadays there is also HTML5 implementation for which I cannot speak because I know it not) does not support them.

I have created two CKEditor plugins. Each of them uses an "Iframe Dialog Field", meaning that a dialog box is launched and the contents of that dialog box is a webpage (you can think of the entire dialog box as being like one big iframe).
Each plugin works perfectly on its own. However if I use both plugins in the same CKEditor app, they both end up displaying the same page, rather than two different pages, despite the fact that they point to two different pages. I see no reason why this should be happening. Does anyone know how to prevent this?
To make sure there is no confusion, an "IFrame Dialog Field" is a dialog box whose contents are another webpage.

[ This is different from using an "IFrame dialog", which I believe is a plugin that lets the user add an iframe to the page.
Documentation - IFrame Dialog: http://ckeditor.com/addon/iframe ]
In terms of usage, when using an IFrame Dialog Field, you specify the url of the page to load in the addIframe() command. Here is an example of using a CKEditor Iframe dialog

Back to my issue - if I use just one of the plugins in my CKEditor, it works perfectly. Each plugin points at a different url, and opens that url as the contents of the dialog box. But, if I use both plugins in my CKEditor, although I see a different icon for each, both end up launching a dialog box which points to the same url. Depending which one I launch first, that is the url both end up opening. It is as if you are only allowed to use one IFrame Dialog Field in CKEditor, and the first one used overwrites all others.
This same question was asked a couple of years ago, with no response on the CKEditor forum. The person who asked the question posted his solution, or rather his workaround, which was to NOT use the IFrame Dialog Field altogether, but to instead use a regular dialog and then put an iframe element within it.
http://ckeditor.com/forums/CKEditor-3.x/multiple-iframedialog-plugins-display-same-dialog
That seems like an OK workaround, but it is a workaround and not a solution. I haven't tried it yet, and don't know what potential issues I will run into if I go down that route. I'd prefer to fix my existing code rather than rewrite the plugins, unless I have no choice.
Any help would be appreciated.
Since I have not found any further information, or received any answers here, I ended up going with the workaround mentioned at the end of my question - I used a regular dialogue box and put a big Iframe within it. This problem doesn't exist with that approach, and It looks pretty much the same as an Iframe dialog box. (Considering the almost total lack of community support with CKEditor customization, I've realized it is better to just adjust your design/concept to do what is more easily accomplished with CKEditor, rather than get CKeditor to do exactly what you want).
I developed a firefox bootstrapped extension (without add-on sdk). I need to display a popup with html content, something like panel in add-on sdk. Also, it is necessary that the extension could interact with content in the popup. Also, I need a way to display html content in separate tab and interact with this content. So what can I use to implement what I need?
You can append an iframe to that panel, and then load a page into that iframe. That's what I did in this simple addon here - https://github.com/Noitidart/AwesomeBar-Power-Tip/
Here's another gist that does something similar - https://gist.github.com/Noitidart/9445992
I think this is how the SDK does it as well.
but I can not understand how it is possible to implement the interaction between expansion and content inside the panel.
The panel or its frameLoader property should have a messageManager, which can be used to load frame scripts and pass messages to them.
My application accepts photographs from end-users. They will most likely select pictures that are recently taken. The initial view of Chooser, which shows the file structure of the user's Dropbox folder is therefore far less useful compared to the Photos view. Is there a parameter than can be passed to make the window opens to that view? Just a matter of saving an inevitable click.
I tried to examine the source code but the library appears to be written in Coffee.
There's no way to open a specific folder in the Dropbox Chooser. You can make the UI a bit nicer by using the extensions option to specify only image file types.
I am using CKEditor to get HTML from the user. The user will use HTML tags and it will be saved in the database. I need a functionality for the user to see how the page will be displayed when open as .html before saving in the database.
Is it possible to do that using CKEditor and if yes.....then how?
Thanks-in-Advance
It's certainly possible, but depends a lot on your specific requirements.
Get the contents of the editor using editor.getData(), then open a pop up window displaying that content - this should be relatively simple with JavaScript so I won't give any examples - you'll have to try it yourself first :). If a pop up is not something you want to use, maybe use an inline dialog, such as the ones that jQuery uses.
I would create the workflow so that the preview box has a save button inside it, forcing the user to preview before saving. If that's not acceptable, then create a separate button on your page to do the preview.
I am creating a Firefox extension that is somewhat similar to Firebug. There is a panel (or vbox) at the bottom of the browser that allows users to specify colors to certain Html elements. When they click the OK button, I would like these colors to get updated on the current web page.
I have my JavaScript working when I click the button (i am just throwing an alert), however when I change that JavaScript to change the css or styles of an element (by either using document.getElementById or jquery), nothing changes.
Is there something with Firefox extensions that I am missing? Any help is appreciated.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks

You want content.document.getElementById() and similarly for every other construct you use.
