Reference to panel's DOM about devtools-extension-examples HOT 10 CLOSED

from devtools-extension-examples.

I suppose I cannot reference the DOM due to inter-process boundary, but how do I post and receive messages between the panel DOM and the panel JS?

self.port does not work

If the panel's iframe uses type="content", which is the recommended way, you need to use message manager to send messages between the chrome scope and the iframe.

A good example of how to send these message is in the Add-on SDK.
post-repl:

• sending message to the content
  https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/examples/actor-repl/index.js#L26
• receive message within the content
  https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/examples/actor-repl/data/index.html#L116
• Here is implementation of the postMessage
  https://github.com/mozilla/addon-sdk/blob/master/lib/dev/panel.js#L129

This does not seem to work. I am not trying to start a debug session. When I use this and call this.debuggee.start() I get a remote actor protocol message in the panel. I am simply trying to message with the content in the panel. Any change someone can add an example. I'll add skeleton if you give me access to this repo.

You should have an access to this repo now.

Thanks! This is way more than I could have figured out. These little examples are key to the success of extensions. As soon as each example has an automated test we should run these against SDK changes.

Yes, the tests are needed.
