Jay --
Koha libraries have been using Amazon images for some time in production,
internationally.
Amazon is free to determine whether this use is considered "strictly"
promotional enough for their purposes or not. Since Koha directs readers to
Amazon sites for specific items of interest, includi
We use Amazon covers in our catalog (alternately a google image if none is
available from Amazon). The image and caption are click-able and toggle a
hidden lightbox layer into view. The layer has links to amazon (and google)
for more info. We assume this is in accord with Amazon's terms of use.
I've now been able to implement covers from Google and Amazon in our test
catalog. Google has many fewer images, they sometimes don't make any sense
(getting an author photo instead of the cover), and getting them is slow, at
least through the javascript methods posted here recently. However, Amazo

I've seen various Javascript libraries mentioned on this list from
time to time, and would like to get a better sense which major
Javascript libraries are being used within the Code4Lib community.
So I've set up a quick, informal poll here:

I didn't mean window.onload literally; use a browser-compatible
version of it [jQuery, btw, would figure that out automatically for
you, so if you can integrate jQuery in your page, you may want to try
Matt's plugin.]
My prototype uses a function called "addEvent" from Dustin Diaz, see

The answer might seem to be, "sure of course we do," but let me frame it
more specifically. Our organization's communications department needs a
DAM for its virtual shoeboxes of photos -- only for internal access, a
place where they could store, search, sort, tag, etc their digital
assets. We have
Hi Godmar,
Thanks. Yes. I tried that, but the support for window.onload does not exist
in IE6. I also tried the defer="defer" attribute in the script tag, which
did not work either. Tim's solution looks good. I have yet to try it
though. ( will wait until after Easter).
Cheers,

Hi Mike,
I think that you can do your search interface entirely and easily with
a javascript library called jquery. Someone has already built tab
functionality with another library based on jquery called UI tabs. I
have used it on one of my projects. The nice thing is that you can do
it without
We've also got a jQuery plugin that you're more than welcome to use:

Have you tried placing your code in an window.onload handler? Read
the example I created at libx.org/gbs and if that works for you in
IE6, use the technique there. (Or you may just use the entire script -
it seems you're reimplementing a lot of it anyway.)

Tim and David,
Thanks for sharing you solutions; the IE problem has been driving me
crazy. I've mostly been working on the title browse page of our catalog.
Originally I had it working on Firefox, Safari, and IE7 (IE6 worked if I
refreshed the page); after some rearrangement of the script, it's
I am out of the office until 2008-03-31.

Hi Tim.
Thanks a lot! I will give this a try later and let you know how I fare.
Best,

HI Folks,
We were one of the first libraries to get the GBS API working on our OPAC.
Like many OPACs, ours is difficult to modify at times and requires a dynamic
insert of a generated (by PHP) JavaScript, which is hosted on a separate
server to the OPAC pages.
It seems to work fine on most browse
