so i have created an add-on that finds certain strings on every page that opens, it works as it should. The only problem i have is: when a page updates its content with AJAX i don't know how to detect it and rerun my contentScriptFile.
Is there a module i should use or some type of JS listener in my content script file?
here is the pageMod:
pageMod.PageMod({
include: "*",
contentScriptFile: [self.data.url("jquery-1.9.1.min.js"), self.data.url("script.js")],
onAttach: function(worker){
var apiKey = require("sdk/simple-prefs").prefs.apiKey;
var ignoreList = require("sdk/simple-prefs").prefs.ignoreList;
worker.port.emit("prefSet", [ignoreList, apiKey]);
});
Any Ajax event completion will be detected by below jQuery code regardless of whether the Ajax event completed successfully or failed:
$(document).ready(function () {
$(document).ajaxComplete(function() {
alert("AJAX call completed");
});
});
To make JQuery available to FireFox Add-On, please install this firefox add-on/extension
