Earlier versions of IE were known to sometimes disregard the Content-Type

If so, you'd need to use JSONP, which a cursory examination of their API

JavaScript code is part of LibX:
http://libx.org/libx/src/base/chrome/libx/content/libx/isbnutils.js
but can be used as a separate module. Including testing for ISBNs,
ISSNs, 13-10 conversion and checksum recomputation. MPL'ed.

Hi,

The nice thing about OCLC's xISBN is that they have the ability to
produce a URL that does a direct search for the entire set of ISBNs
against a catalog - or, if the catalog doesn't support that -
constructs a frame that lists the ISBNs sorted by decreasing frequency
and allows the users to click

If I may follow up on an earlier discussion [ relevant parts are
included below ] regarding how to extract holdings information from
III or other catalogs.
I have one thing to offer and 1 thing to request. I'll start with the

yeah, it comes with the stock innopac; the returned xml is the same as

Hi,
following up on our discussion about how to extract holdings
information from a III catalog, and following David's generous offer
to share his code, I went ahead and started a sourceforge project:
libxess.
libxess is intended to bridge the gap between "Library 2.0" services
and legacy ILS su

Hi Godmar,
Just FYI, David's script doesn't work with all III catalogs.
Z39.50 might be a slightly better option (our's, for example, seems to
produce errors from his test page). I'd be willing to work with you on it,
if you're up for trying
Interesting.
Thom Hickey commented a while ago about LibX's use of xISBN (*): "I
suspect that eventually the LibX xISBN support will become both less
visible and more automatic."
We were indeed planning on making it more automatic. For instance, a

Probably a way to drive Amazon revenue down, considering that we offer
the alternative to borrow the book rat
Interesting. A few questions/comments.
From what I can see, you will not be able to dynamically change the
page's content after it has finished loading, due to the same-origin
restriction. Is this correct? In other words, you'd have to pre-plan
for any user interactivity and send the necessary

You're right that, with Ajax, we're bound by the same-origin restriction.
But we can dynamically change the page content after loading, by eschewing
traditional Ajax. New content is delivered through dynamically-inserted
