Re: Firefox javascript API reference is available where? Function exists: BrowserCloseOtherTabs()

Ah...
Well I still can't make sense of all that.
I was a C programer and found C++ formal/riged.  I like function 
overloading.  I cant go strictly object though.

But with a little shooting in the dark (cut/paste code segments from 
functions listed in lxr) I did get this to work.
Why BrowserOpenTab() exists globally but removeAllTabsBut() is a method 
on some thing still escapes me. Objects in XUL in XML... I must be 
getting old.  Thanks for the url... xlr is cool.


BrowserOpenTab();
var browser = getBrowser();
browser.removeAllTabsBut(browser.mCurrentTab);

/* All these failed failed 4/25/05 FireFox 1.0.2
    BrowserCloseOtherTabs();
    removeAllTabsBut();
    CloseAllOtherTabs();
    closeOtherTabs();
*/
