Not only do I need to put in the actual event handlers, I need to add code to the mozilla library to create a wrapper for the windows API function. The cool part about that is that someone may use it in firefox at some point, the bad part is that I have to figure out how to write it, and write it correctly. After two full day, I've come up with about 15 lines of code. Doesn't feel like much, but honestly, knowing where and what to write was a much larger challenge. | |||

Working on the "Reopen last tab" from the Go menu. As of 1/16/2009, I have the button working, and disabled if a tab has not yet been closed. On to testing!
