Re: [DQSD-Users] mwd /p stopped working
I'm pretty sure that this is due to a change over at Merriam Websters. Their cgi-bin link just doesn't work anymore. I've already dirtied my own sandbox's mwd.xml. But I don't think the regular mwd search worked anymore either. Somebody with a clean sandbox could try it out by typing, mwd word in the DQSD. The popups haven't been a problem. I've had this working for years. Environments: launchmode=1; (On two computers. Default browser is Mozilla Firefox 3.0.1. on each.) OS: Windows XP (on one computer), Windows Vista (on another) --David On Wed, Sep 24, 2008 at 1:53 AM, Kim Gräsman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi David, Does the regular mwd search work?

(Here's a link that shows the alias: http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html ) It looks like Merriam Websters has changed their cgi-bin implementation, because mwd /p doesn't work anymore. Maybe the fix is simply to remove cgi-bin/ from the URL, but this isn't something I can easily test until I get some free time at home. - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ To unsubscribe visit: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users DQSD-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601 - This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100url=/ ___ To unsubscribe visit: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dqsd-users DQSD-Users@lists.sourceforge.net http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=8601
Re: [DQSD-Users] mwd /p stopped working?
Sorry, Everybody, My last reply to Shawn was premature. Shawn's mwd /popup fix is a fine interim fix. The fact that the list of spelling suggestions didn't include correct links is not a new problem. What's more important is that support for multiple entries for a word is broken. (Eg., mwd /popup register vs. mwd register) mwd.xml needs some TLC. I don't actually know any javascript, but I'm willing to give it a look when I free up in a couple of weeks. --David On 10/13/07, Shawn K.

Re: [DQSD-Users] mwd /p stopped working?
Wow! Thanks so much for the quick reply. It works well, with a minor exception. (It doesn't handle misspellings correctly. Links in the popup are not links in that case.) For example, try mwd /p missspell Still, I'm delighted to have the popup back. It's a feature I love so much I once blogged about it. There's an image of the old popup window there, too: http://dblume.livejournal.com/65402.html Thanks again, --David BTW, I now see that the version of mwd.xml I had was On 10/13/07, Shawn K.
