Data URIs are a way of making a URI that actually contains the data inside it. They’re useful when you want to include normally external resources within another file (in my instance, including images in user styles).
The data URI kitchen is an online resource that lets you generate data URIs from files. But what if […]
A problem often encountered when making interfaces with JavaScript is how to get a function to run whenever a user changes the value of a text field. onchange only happens when the focus leaves the control, onkeyup will pick up useless strokes (like arrow keys) and won’t pick up on changes done by the mouse […]
Sometimes in an extension you want to show the same menupopup in multiple places. Some users like status bar icons, some like using things under Tools, some like a toolbar button. (For the love of god, don’t put it everywhere by default! Put in some sensible defaults and rely on prefs or user styles for […]
I was looking into getting “Restore Defaults” working in Stylish’s tree column pickers. I figured they didn’t work because I was using custom tree views (where data is loaded by JavaScript rather than RDF). So I looked around for documentation on devmo and XUL Planet - nothing. I thought that was strange, so I searched […]

To make this as easy as possible, extension authors should first ensure […]
I’ve put together a Live Title generator repository. I’m hoping to make it the place to go for them, just like userstyles.org is the place to go for user CSS. The site itself explains what the plan is for the site, so I won’t repeat it except to re-iterate: the site really needs generators (right […]
Here’s a bug to vote for to make Stylish better - Bug 349813 - Make a way for site (-moz-document) rules to apply on sites *not* matching a URL/prefix/domain.
Lately I’ve been doing a lot of work on the DOM Inspector, mostly improving the UI and making things work as I would expect them to work. I’m grateful for the domi peers who review patches fairly quickly. I still feel the review system is mostly broken - why should I have to pester people […]
