Progress Listeners
Progress Listeners alllow extensions to be notified of events assosiated with documents loading in the browser and with tab switching events. Progress Listeners implement the nsIWebProgressListener interface.
- Create an object which implements nsIWebProgressListener:
const STATE_START = Components.interfaces.nsIWebProgressListener.STATE_START;
const STATE_STOP = Components.interfaces.nsIWebProgressListener.STATE_STOP;
var myListener =
{
QueryInterface : function(aIID)
{
if (aIID.equals(Components.interfaces.nsIWebProgressListener) ||
aIID.equals(Components.interfaces.nsISupportsWeakReference) ||
aIID.equals(Components.interfaces.nsISupports))
return this;
throw Components.results.NS_NOINTERFACE;
},
onStateChange:function(aProgress,aRequest,aFlag,aStatus)
{
if(aFlag & STATE_START)
{
//This fires when the load event is initiated
}
if(aFlag & STATE_STOP)
{
//This fires when the load finishes
}
return 0;
},
onLocationChange:function(aProgress webProgress , aRequest, aURI)
{
//This fires when the location bar changes i.e load event is confirmed or when the user switches tabs
//return 0;
},
//For defnitiions of the remaining functions see XulPlanet
onProgressChange:function(a,b,c,d,e,f){},
onStatusChange:function(a,b,c,d){},
onSecurityChange:function(a,b,c){},
onLinkIconAvailable:function(a){}
}
- Attach the progressListener to a <browser> object, e.g. for firefox:
const NOTIFY_STATE_DOCUMENT = Components.interfaces.nsIWebProgress.NOTIFY_STATE_DOCUMENT; window.getBrowser().addProgressListener(myListener , NOTIFY_STATE_DOCUMENT);
The second argument is a status filter which determines the type of events that will be recieved.
