SafariExtensionBar Class Reference

Inherits from
SafariEventTarget
Technology area
Safari Extensions
Availability
Available in Safari 5.0 and later.

Overview

Instances of the SafariExtensionBar class represent a bar that your extension provides. An extension can add any number of bars to Safari. Adding bars is optional.

Safari creates a separate instance of the bars from your extensions for every window. Thus, if the user opens multiple Safari windows, there are multiple SafariExtensionBar objects representing the same bar — one in each window. Also, if the user doesn’t have any Safari windows open, there are no SafariExtensionBar objects.

To access the array of all bars added by your extension, use the SafariExtension method bars.
