Create a function that queries an instance of Firefox and determines if a particular URL is held on one of the tabs. If the URL is found on a tab - that tab should be selected and the function return true otherwise return a false. I have been told that accomplishing this behavior for Firefox is not feasible - I'm posting the job anyway in case someone can figure it out. The supplied project approximates the desired behavior when polling multiple instances of IE6. That is, each instance is examined to see if it is holding the desired URL and if so a true returned (which triggers code in URLmatch to bring the browser instance to the foreground) otherwise a false is returned and the processes loop in URLmatch moves on to find additional instance of IE6, if present. If the loop completes with no true value, then IE is launched with the URL as an argument. The sample application is a test app for the behavior. Three similar functions are present in uGetURL, each called for a specific browser identity by selection from a case statement within the the URLmatch function. For purposes of this bid, you are concerned only with modifying the behavior of the function getFirefoxURL. There are two other similar projects up for bid. One to provide similar functionality for the Opera tabbed browser and a third to do the same for the Internet Explorer version 7 browser You are welcome and encouraged to bid (separately) on any combination of the bid requests that you may feel you can handle. The code MUST compile and run in Delphi 5, however I will be migrating to Delphi2006 soon so proven compatibility with D2006 is a plus. ## Deliverables 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done. 2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows? (depending on the nature? of the deliverables): a)? For web sites or? other server-side deliverables intended to only ever exist in one place in the Buyer's environment--Deliverables must be installed by the Seller in ready-to-run condition in the Buyer's environment. b) For all others including desktop software or software the buyer intends to distribute: A software? installation package that will install the software in ready-to-run condition on the platform(s) specified in this bid request. 3) All deliverables will be considered "work made for hire" under U.S. Copyright law. Buyer will receive exclusive and complete copyrights to all work purchased. (No GPL, GNU, 3rd party components, etc. unless all copyright ramifications are explained AND AGREED TO by the buyer on the site per the coder's Seller Legal Agreement). * * *This broadcast message was sent to all bidders on Wednesday Oct 25, 2006 11:31:30 AM: Unfortunately I am cancelling this bid request - since successfully including this functionality into my application rewuires that all three primary tabbed browsers be properly handled. Thanks for considering the work and I truely regret having to cancel. I have implemented a work-around and will seek other solutions to this functionality. ## Platform Windows 2000 Windows XP Windows Vista Delphi 5 Delphi 2006 FireFox Browser
