RE: [DQSD-Users] new mwdx search (Merriam-Webster search, results in a pop-up window)

[Kim Gräsman]

Hi again,

Here's a replacement mwd.xml that takes a /p[opup] switch -- can you try it
out and see if it works for you, Glenn?
XmlHttp is acting up on my machine, so I can't see if it works properly, but
I've just copied and pasted your code into a separate function in mwd.

Cheers,
- Kim

 Subject: [DQSD-Users] new mwdx search (Merriam-Webster 
 search, results in a pop-up window)
 
 Hey all,
 
 Attached is a modified Merriam-Webster search that displays 
 the results in a pop-up window.  It's not perfect (for one, 
 links don't work from the popup window), but it makes me happy :)
 
 I don't have CVS installed anywhere convenient right now, so 
 if someone could check this in, I'd appreciate it.

RE: [DQSD-Users] new mwdx search (Merriam-Webster search, results in a pop-up window)

[Shawn K. Hall]

Hi Kim,

 ...see if it works for you...

Works fine for me, however, may I suggest offering an option that can
alternate the functionality of mwd through the localprefs?

This code will do it (replaces line 28):
if (typeof strMWDPopup == undefined) strMWDPopup = 0;
if(( args.switches.length  0 ) || (strMWDPopup !== 0))

Then if someone has the strMWDPopup variable set to anything other
than zero the dictionary lookups will appear in the popup, while
otherwise (and default) they appear in a new window.

This does not take into account situations where the user wants to
default to popups but wants to visit the site, though.


 XmlHttp is acting up on my machine, so I can't see if it 
 works properly...

In my reading (having not tested it yet myself, in part because of this)
I've seen that IE7 has some XmlHttp+JavaScript issues. The consensus
from those I've seen discussing it is don't use IE7 - no workarounds
are available.

Fair enough, I can add that!

Do you have any links? I'm curious to find out more about this -- I've had
this problem since before IE7, and I think it's in part because I run as a
non-admin.

Cheers,

[Glenn Carr]

I've improved it quite a bit this evening (links work, etc.).

I re-installed CVS and committed it (also attached).

Glenn

(Woah, it's been a long time since I've committed any DQSD code.)

 Added to CVS!

Hi Glenn,

 I'm just now readaing some of these emails, and I missed your 
 suggestion.
 
 I went ahead and added mwdDisplayInPopup as the preference variable. 

Hey, I already did that! :-)

I called mine mwdPopup, so your name is definitely better, I'll see if I can
remove the duplication before you wake up again.

- Kim
