I'm writing a small add-on to Firefofx, in which I use widgets. I wonder how to set auto-width which adapts to content. For example I want my widget to display numbers, which will have a different length. I can set my widget width but how do I know how much my number takes pixels. Is there a way to get the width, choosing automatically? Here is some of my code: My widget (my add-on uses other widgets),
//ROBOTS META
var robots_meta = widgets.Widget({
id: "robots_meta",
label: "Displays information about robots meta",
content: "Meta-robots n/a",
width: 100
});
Here is function that update content of my widget:
function meta_robots_checker(tab) {
var meta_robots_w = robots_meta.getView(tab.window);
meta_robots_w.content = 'Meta-robots n/a';
worker = tab.attach({
contentScriptFile: data.url("js/meta-checker.js")
});
worker.port.emit("check_noindex");
worker.port.on('content', function(message) {
message = message.toLowerCase();
message = message.replace('nofollow', '<span style="color:red">nofollow</span>');
message = message.replace('noindex', '<span style="color:red">noindex</span>');
meta_robots_w.content = message;
//HERE MY WIDGET WIDTH SHOULD BE CHANGED
});
}
