Basic example of a scriptable plugin for Firefox in C++ with VS2005/8

My experience to write a plugin for Firefox is below zero. Is someone out there who could point me to sample code on how to get this accomplished in C++ with VS2005/8?

What I need to do with JavaScript in the hosting html page is something like this:

var obj = document.getElementById("MyFFPlugin");

var value = obj.CalculateValue;

// Work with calculated value

  • The SDK has basic samples on how to write mozzila plugins which can be downloaded here: http://mxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/modules/plugin/tools/sdk/

    Here is the official mozilla plugin site http://www.mozilla.org/projects/plugins/

    Hope it helps.
