I have this limping along as follows:
var cit_this = function(evt){
Event.stop(evt);
var me = Event.findElement(evt,'a');
var uri = me.href.substr(27).split('/');
if(Prototype.Browser.WebKit == true){ me.href="javascript:;";}
new Ajax.Updater(me.parentNode,
'http://oll.libertyfund.org/ajax_citation.php',{parameters: { id:
uri[0], chapter: uri[1], para: uri[2] }, insertion: Insertion.Bottom});
};
$$('a.citation').invoke('observe','click',cit_this);
It seems incredibly hacky, but it works and doesn't complain in FireBug
or Safari's JS Console. If anyone has any further illumination they can
shed, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Walter
