Following up on bug 752197 comment 48 - 50 here since that is a meta bug.

I'm going to create the helper functions and event listeners to get get dialogs working in-content with minimal changes to the dialogs themseleves.

This is a very rough proof-of-concept that will I clean up more but it shows the direction that I'm heading. This only covers selectBookmark.xul at the moment but notice how I didn't have to change that dialog at all or any of the code that was checking the return values. If the in-content prefs code was still using document.documentElement.openSubDialog like the windowed version, there would have been less to change. This also avoid @id collisions and variable scoping issues (e.g. const Cc/Ci) if we combine the dialogs in one dialog. There should be a performance benefit to only constructing dialogs on demand as well.

Marco, can you add this to the current iteration?

This is looking very promising.

I hope I don't interrupt you in the progress of this work but I have some questions.

Would it be possible for the prefsDialog to adapt to the size the containing dialog has? Then the size doesn't need to be hardcoded.

Would it be to give the titlebar the correct dialog title?

And for now the last question, would it be possible to inject the in-content preferences.css file to the dialogs? Then the dialogs could use the same styling as the main in-content prefs.

Not at all, you know more about the requirements and UI design and it's good to get feedback before I go down the wrong path.

Yes, that should be possible. If one was specified we can use that, otherwise either hard-code a default or I can try get sizeToContents to work (which is what I believe it would do in a dialog window).

> Would it be to give the titlebar the correct dialog title?

That should also be easy.

Yes, that's the plan.

Could you point me to any spec on how this should work/look to make sure this approach will work with all requirements?

Thanks for the feedback and ideas.

The spec should be from Chameleon, <http://people.mozilla.org/~jgruen/chameleon/>. The buttons etc. should look like on the normal in-content prefs.

With adding the in-content css link as last in the dialog's css link chain it should automatically work like the normal in-content prefs. Then it can be easily adapted to the UI needs.
Flags: needinfo?(richard.marti)
I didn't see anything specific to dialogs in the chameleon spec though. e.g. the background color, titlebar, etc.
mmaslaney wrote in bug 752197 comment 23 in reply to my screenshot, it's looking okay like it is but the specs aren't finished. But as I wrote before with the in-content css this can be easily adapted after the specs are finished.
One limitation of this approach over including all dialogs in the one document is that the strings from the dialogs are not easily searchable for the upcoming search feature. Looking through all of the dialogs, I don't think that's a big deal since we can reference any relevant dialog strings from the regular panes to help index them in the few cases where it will be useful.

Attached patch v.0.9 Add gSubDialog helper (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Hey Jared,

This is a working patch that needs some polish but I think there's enough that's likely not going to change that I'd like to start the review in case there are problems with the approach.

This still needs automated tests which I will work on in parallel to review.

Richard, would you mind testing this patch? I addressed your previous comments.

Thanks

v.0.9 Add gSubDialog helper

This is looking great.

Only two things:
- The Fonts dialog (Content/Advanced) is not tall enough and the Colors dialog is to tall with the 400px. Is it possible to give a custom height to the calls?
- Both dialogs behind Content/Exceptions are using a Close button using oncommand="close();" instead of the Cancel and can't be closed with this button.

If custom heights are needed, they'll need to be locale-specific and em based (not px).
Attached patch incontent_dialog_csstweaks.patch (obsolete) — Splinter Review
This are some CSS tweaks on top of your patch. It makes the dialogClose button having the correct width/height. Adds the colorpicker to the CSS and changes the dialog background color to white like the main preferences to better accent the buttons.

At this point, isn't the visibility already "visible"? So this is a no-op.

Now with tests!

Flagging for a11y-review since I'm making "fake" in-content dialogs containing a frame with the existing dialog window contents and I want to make sure that it's accessible. You can test four sub-dialogs from the first two pages of in-content preferences: "Use Bookmark…", "Exceptions…", "Colors…", & "Choose…". Others will be converted in follow-up bugs.

Richard, can you test for any blocking bugs that should be fixed before landing and comment here. Other issues can be filed as a follow-up (dependency).

The Font dialog issue is because of the larger element sizes I think (from the injected CSS). I've left that dialog call alone for now so it can be handled in a follow-up since there is enough going on in this patch.

I've fixes this now by injecting a custom close function since the default one doesn't work when it's not in a top-level window.

I've included some of these into the patch where it would cause a big regression without the change. You can submit the rest of the changes to a new bug once this lands.

I've postponed the Fonts dialog to a follow-up for now as I think part of the problem there is the larger UI widgets/fonts. I think this should be better now anyways. You can test by running the quoted addition in the web console while on the prefs page.

Yes, it is but that's only because of the hack I have now so the focus works. See the TODO comment in the DOMContentLoaded function above. Once the temporary hack lines are removed, this is the line that should be setting the visibility.

I was referring to changing the indentation because of the <stack> I added, not existing indentation problems. I was also trying to avoid changing the blame from adding the <stack> which is why I had a question mark to think about whether I should change it.

v.1 Add gSubDialog helper with tests

This is looking good.

I have already moved all dialogs to in-content for bug 752197. Everything is working except for the master password dialogs in security.js. I haven't checked deeply but it looks like the gSubDialog.open() returns immediately and not like openDialog() returns after closing (this is only a guess but it looks like this because the this._initMasterPasswordUI() isn't updating the new state). See: http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/browser/components/preferences/in-content/security.js#205

If this can be fixed here, then okay for me ;). If not then I can try to fix this in bug 752197. I'll upload my WIP patch this evening, so you can test it with it.

Yes, gSubDialog.open doesn't wait for the dialog to close so you need to do like I did for the homepage bookmark picker and use the new 4th argument to open which is a closing callback where you can run this._initMasterPasswordUI();

Thanks for testing!

Let's drop the box-shadow from here since we don't have a box shadow on tab-modal dialogs like alert(). Please also file a follow-up and assign it to mmaslaney to get some styling defined for these dialogs.

As per IRC (thanks!), this does work but there was no initial indication of focus. You mentioned that was a known issue?

I was thinking of bug 1010115 but the bad state their was a bit different. Either way, this bug didn't regress it for in-content prefs.

The alignment issues should be fixed in bug 752197. The squashed close button needs a change in global.css.

http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/toolkit/themes/osx/global/global.css#355 needs a new selector: .close-icon > .button-box > .button-icon.

The Close button is on OS X on compile removed. Maybe file a bug to ask UX if this button should added to OS X

I fixed this in bug 752197.

PS: The menulist (Select a Language to...) has always a ellipsis also when the dialog is wide enough.
