Can I write my own script to extend Venkman?
Yes! It’s not too hard to add new commands to Venkman. Once you have a custom command, it’s even easier to add it to the UI. And of course, Venkman uses JavaScript as its scripting language (well, Venkman itself is written in JavaScript.) There is no formal documentation written up on this yet, but there have been a few posts on the newsgroup about the subject. Check here, here, and here. There are also some notes from a “Techtalk” presented at the Netscape campus, which covers some of the basics of how Venkman works. If you have a specific plug-in you’d like to write and don’t know where to start, or get stuck somewhere, please ask in the newsgroup. The more questions I answer, the more content I’ll have for some documentation.
