Bookmark EventListener

[Lorne Kates]

Hi, there,

I'm in the process of writing an extension that reacts to bookmarks.
However, I'm having trouble trying to get my extension to "hear" a
selected bookmark.

The extension is a xul program that calls a javascript script. When I
was doing the inital "learn to write an extension", I could capture
general clicks with

window.addEventListener("click", functionIRun()....)

Now, I need to listen for whenever a single bookmark is clicked. I've
read through lxr, and tried Google My Friend, but haven't found the
answer yet. Which event would I listen for, and where would I put the
event listener, if I wanted to capture every bookmark load:

???.addEventListener("???",...)

Thanks in advance,
Lorne Kates

Look through the DOM using the Inspector. Find the id for the menupopup
of the bookmarks. Add a click event to the bookmarks menupopup. You
could then evaluate the target of the event that occurs to determine the
url of the bookmark clicked. Do a search for target event xul.
