This is a typical embedded statement. The interior: "new elementslib.Name(controller.window.content.document, 'q')" piece creates an element object from the element in the content document named 'q'. The content document is the loaded web page. And the element named 'q' | This is a typical embedded statement. The interior: "new elementslib.Name(controller.window.content.document, 'q')" piece creates an element object from the element in the content document named 'q'. The content document is the loaded web page. And the element named on this page named 'q' is the search bar text box. So this generates an element object referring to the search textbox. You can find this name using the DOM Explorer Extension or the Explorers->DOM Explorer UI from the Mozmill IDE window. | ||
