Re: Help for MSAA

I need to update the docs, will do that as soon as I can.

The control ID system is no longer relevant. First of all, make 
sure you're using a nightly build, because that is what Firefox 
1.1 will be based on this summer, and the MSAA implementation is 
much better.

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/

You can use AccessibleObjectFromWindow on any window in Firefox 
1.1. The content window will have a class of 
MozillaContentWindowClass. The UI windows use 
MozillaUIWindowClass. There is also MozillaContentFrameWindow 
class for frames and iframes, and MozillaWindowClass for filler 
windows.
