I'm now using the new version of the Jetpack API of which allows you to create addons for Firefox using a JS framework.
The 'panel' object is easy to use - but I'm struggling to find a way to position it. The documentation simply states (Jetpack Panel API)
panel.show(anchor) DomElement
But I'd like to position the panel in the bottom right corner of the window -
How do I do this - and where can I find some more documentation about it.
The only way I'm aware of to be able to position a panel to bottom right requires an icon (or text, as in the example below) to be placed in the statusbar. After that the panel can be linked to be positioned above the icon.
Mimicking Jetpack's JEP wiki:
function openBottomRightPanel(anchor){
jetpack.panels.open({
url: "http://stackoverflow.com",
anchor: anchor,
align: "bottom right with anchor top right"
});
}
jetpack.statusBar.append({
html: "View SO",
onReady: function(widget) {
$(widget).click(function(){
openBottomRightPanel(widget);
});
},
});
When the statusbar text is clicked, the resulting window (Jetpack panel) shoud open in the bottom right corner of the browser window. (N.b. Maybe the icon/text can be blank, if the panel is opened programmatically?)

I use CkEditor BalloonEditor:
BalloonEditor.create(document.querySelector('#editor'), { ...options... });
By design the balloon toolbar of CkEditor 5 is only shown when I mark some text in the editor. That's totally okay for standard text operations as making a text bold, italic or changing its colors.
But if I want to insert something (image, table, media) I first must type something, mark it, so that the toolbar is shown before I can insert new content. That is not practical. So actually the balloon editor is great for changing existing content, not to insert new content.
My idea now is, that I want to open the toolbar by clicking with the right mouse button, showing the toolbar instead of the browser's context menu. Nice would be if the toolbar then only contains actions to insert new content (as inserting image, table, media) and the actions for formatting content (as bold, italic, font color) disappears or at least are disabled.
So basically I would implement something like:
<div id="editor" oncontextmenu="showContextMenu(event)">
...
function showContextMenu(event) {
event.preventDefault();
// --> Open here the balloon toolbar at the current caret position. How?
}
I tried finding a solution with a hack:
When clicking with the right mouse button, I inserted a space character at the clicked position and marked/selected it automatically so that the CkEditor balloon editor opened the toolbar. That worked so far, but then I had this undesired space character in the document and I struggled to remove it gracefully afterwards. Furthermore the context menu also contained the text formatting actions (as bold, italic and so on, since there was text - the inserted space selected).
Another idea would be to develop an own toolbar completely detached from CkEditor and then using Commands to insert the appropriate commands as #denov has suggested in his solution. But I think this should actually be possible to achieve with the CkEditor API by using the class ContextualBalloon. But how?
Does anyone have any idea how to achieve this or can guide me with some directions?
Thx!
For images you can just drag the image into the editor.
Commands are the way to interact with the editor. The Images plugin uses the ImageInsertCommand
assuming you have the editor assigned to the global window object you could do
function showContextMenu(event) {
event.preventDefault();
window.editor.execute('imageInsert', { source: 'https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8d/Frog_on_palm_frond.jpg'} )
}
Unfortunately, it's not possible to show the balloon toolbar if the selection is collapsed. This behaviour is defined here.
How can I add the get UI element button to the right side panel of my screen like shown in this image:
It seem that's not possible to go back how it was before.
But a workaround is to dock a window of the library by simply option+click the "+" sign.
How do you change the width of a button in a tool bar on Mac? I can change the width in interface builder but it only updates if the width is larger than the current size. If I try to make it smaller it doesn't change in tool bar.
Not sure if you found an answer yet, but I was recently looking to do this as well for a popup button. The answer is to create the button outside the toolbar first. Then once you create it you can drag it onto the toolbar area and it will be added as a toolbar item.
For example, I created a popup button on my main window and set it to the width that I wanted. Then I opened the toolbar section and dragged that button onto it... and it worked.
Good luck.
I have to implement a custom toolbar for my application, where a button will be placed on the side of exit, maximize and minimize buttons.
I tried to work with the toolbar element on XCode, but it always put elements below these buttons and not on the side.
App Store application implement this feature, like you can see in this image.
One solution is to start with this open source code (https://github.com/indragiek/INAppStoreWindow) to give you the correct title bar style, and then position buttons in the titlebar.
I am using jquery layout plugin and have the following situation that I cannot find a solution. How do I make the center pane increase its size permanently by dragging the div beyond the bottom border.
I have a left pane and a center pane. I dynamically generate div
when the user clicks on the left pane. The divs are generated and
dropped on the center pane. The divs are draggable and resizable.
Everything works fine with dragging and resizing on the visible center
area. The moment I drag the div beyond the bottom, the scroll bar on
the center pane appears and it seems the center pane is extending to
accommodate the new position of the dragged div. But the moment I try
to resize the div or add another div, it jumps to the top section of
the div and resets the scrollbars. I checked the center div height in
firebug and it remains at the same height when initialized
even after dragging the new div beyond the bottom.
Here is the test page html code.
Just copy/paste entirely into a html page. On the left pane, click on the "Add new" button will add new div that is draggable and resizable.
Click on "Add new"
Drag the newly added div beyond the bottom of the center pane.
The center pane shows the scrollbar as it is suppose to.
If you check the center div's height in firebug, it is not changing
Now try resizing the newly added div by dragging its handle
It jumps to the top and the center box loses its scrollbar.
I could not paste the complete html page so here is the reference to the code at the bottom of this thread
http://groups.google.com/group/jquery-ui-layout/browse_thread/thread/ca922aa44c0048ee
And here is the test link http://jsfiddle.net/yZc63/
I am surprised no one has come across this situation before? Even without the layout plugin, my solution is not very pretty. In order to simulate the page without the layout plugin, I had to keep the top and the left pane using position:fixed property in css. And there is no center div at all. I add the new div directly to the body of the html. The reason is I don't want to see additional scrollbars on top the browser scrollbars. In other words the center pane should scroll when the browser scrollbars are moved. I am attaching the solution so you have an idea.
I am open to any solution even without the layout plugin if i can simulate the previous attached file using any other approach. i am attaching my page without the layout plugin but am not sure if that is the only elegant solution left.
You can check the solution here http://jsfiddle.net/c7wrT/
Is adding the dynamic div directly to the html body a good approach?
I ran into same situation and this answer helped.
