RE: [DQSD-Users] IE 7 Beta
Hi Richard, I''m sure some of you by now have tried the new IE 7 Beta and noticed that you again have to apply the hacks to disable the security features to enable DQSD. I know I have asked this before but are there any plans for a workaround for this that doesnt require disabling security features? Kim, you last commented on this back in December that you would look into it? I just installed the IE7 beta today, and it seems to run OK with my latest experimental builds of the new host. The code I've written to make DQSD work with SP2+ solves some of the problems with the new security features, without tearing down the protection for regular surfing, as far as I can see. However, there are still a couple of open issues, of which the help window is the most pressing; it's shown using javascript that pops open a new window, so it will run with default security settings, unaffected by all the tomfoolery I've done to customize the browser for DQSD. That is, it shows a yellow bar (and with IE7, an address bar - it looks horrible). I'm still not sure how we should proceed with this... Would people like a release of DQSD that bypasses the main problem, i.e. the initial InfoBar at startup, but that exposes a number of other problems with popup windows, etc? Maybe that's better than trying to solve all the problems in one go. This is turning into a guilty conscience for me, rather than something fun to do in my few spare hours, but maybe releasing tiny improvements rather than a big chunk of working-ness would help :-) - Kim --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

Re: [DQSD-Users] IE 7 Beta
Kim, I cant speak for everyone but I for one would welcome a first step fix in this like you have detailed. It would be nice to return those security settings to normal and run DQSD. I see what you mean about the address bar in the about window, and I am afraid I dont have much in the way of advice on that. It makes the about window less attractive to be sure but I think most would find it a minor aestetic annoyance. I am sorry to hear that the project overall is becoming a guilty conscience issue for you. I'd be happy to help but I doubt my extensive foxpro, minor vb, and even more minor c++ skill would be much use. I hope the project lightens up for you! Perhaps others will chime in on the security issue.

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

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.

Hi Kim, Would people like a release of DQSD that bypasses the main problem, i.e. the initial InfoBar at startup, but that exposes a number of other problems with popup windows, etc?

RE: [DQSD-Users] new mwdx search (Merriam-Webster search, results in a pop-up window)
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. Regards, Shawn K. Hall http://12PointDesign.com/ --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.

RE: [DQSD-Users] establishing pattern for unique url per date
Hi Tom,
I am working on a search for the daily static...I am
trying to figure out the pattern they use to come up
with the name so I can compose it given the date.
I would just use an XmlHttp hit the first time, pattern match uf*.gif,
and then a second request for the image. This is some code I've migrated
from one of my homebrew samples. Save it as a new htm file:
'//

var ksRoot = http://www.userfriendly.org/cartoons/;;
function showImage( sImage ){
var s = '';
try{
//attempt to obtain the content
var sUrl = http://ars.userfriendly.org/cartoons/?id=; +
sImage;
var xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject(Microsoft.XmlHttp);
xmlHttp.open(GET, sUrl, false);
xmlHttp.send();
//get the response content from the remote site
var sBody = xmlHttp.responseText;
var rx = /(\/archives\/[0-9a-zA-Z]+\/uf[\d]+\.gif)/g;
//3456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`123456789`
var r; var i = 0;
if ((r = rx.exec(sBody)) != null){
sParsed = r[1];
}
sParsed = sParsed.substr(1);
}catch(e){
alert( It didn't work! + \n + e.number + :: +
e.description);
}
var o = document.getElementById('testimg');
o.src = ksRoot + sParsed;
}

I've improved it quite a bit this evening (links work, etc.).
I re-installed CVS and committed it (also attached).

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 --- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
