Tuesday is our garbage and recycling day. This day usually does nothing more than infuriate me. I’m glad our neighbors recycle. We should do more of it. They never put a lid on their recycling box though, and my yard ends up littered with the weeks newspapers. This happens more often then not and my fence ends up plastered with paper.

I’ve hit a dilemma on a project I’m working on. I want to create a panel similar to the new bookmark and identity panels. The panel has an iframe in it to display web pages. I want the panel to be movable, resizable and animated (similar to the alert slider). This isn’t very easy to do with the panel element. To get around the difficulties in trying to meet these requirements I decided to use a window that is a dependent window without any titlebar or chrome. This seemed like a good way to implement it and the animation looks really good. However, I’ve now hit a road block that I do not know how to get around. The iframe displays correctly on Mac and Linux, but a bug on Windows causes it not to be displayed.

So now I’m stuck with the question of how to get this implementation done. Do I try and figure out how to get the panel animated and resizable or do I try to work around the Windows bug that is causing the iframe to not be displayed?

These are the kind of issues that sometimes make working with XUL a real pain. Do you have any suggestion on how to get this working? Do you have similar pains that I may be able to help with?
