BrowserTabGroup.position

By Opera Software

From Opera 15 onward, Opera 11 & 12’s extension format is no longer supported, and instead, we’ve switched to Chromium’s extension model. Check out our new documentation for developing extensions for Opera 15 and higher and start building your own extensions.

Description:

The readonly position attribute gets the tab position of this browser tab group, if the tab group is open. Otherwise, it returns NaN.

Syntax:

readonly unsigned long position

Example:

The following example creates a button on the browser toolbar. When the button is clicked, the position of the first tab group is displayed in the button's badge.

//
// The background process (e.g. index.html)
//

// Specify the properties of the button before creating it.
var UIItemProperties = {
  disabled: false,
  title: "Example extension",
  icon: "images/icon_18.png",
  badge: {
    backgroundColor: '#cc0000',
    color: '#ffffff'
  }
};

// Create the button and add it to the toolbar.
var button = opera.contexts.toolbar.createItem( UIItemProperties );
opera.contexts.toolbar.addItem(button);

button.addEventListener('click', handleClick, false);

function handleClick() {
  // Get all tab groups in the current window
  var groups = opera.extension.tabGroups.getAll();

  // Display the first group's position in the button's badge
  button.badge.textContent = groups[0].position;
}
