So the battle to create a Gecko extension continues. I’m actually making progress and feel like I have all the necessary pieces now. I can:
* add an icon to the toolbar and respond to clicks
* add text and images to the status bar
* catch navigation events
* extract RDF from web pages
* parse the extracted RDF into a series of Triples (thanks to Jim Ley’s excellent all-javascript “RDF parser”:http://jibbering.com/rdf-parser/)
So all that’s left to do is perform some queries on the RDF (which the parser also allows) and put the pieces together. Of course, I also need to figure out how to hack enough XUL together to make a dialog, but hey; how hard can it be?
