[DQSD-Users] Promoting DQSD
The BBC run a TV show called Click - http://www.bbc.co.uk/click/ and a couple of weeks ago they ran a piece on search engine toolbars, and followed it up last week with a bit more. I've emailed them saying how wonderful DQSD is and how it doesn't try to hijack any browser features, has hundreds of built-in searches, and is this amazing tiny little box on my task bar etc. etc., but if anybody else would like to add more support to try and get them to mention DQSD on the show then their email address is: [EMAIL PROTECTED] or just use the Contact us link at the bottom of the program home page (above). Saying that your an avid viewer of the show from (whichever country) via the BBC News Player (click on the link on the right of the program homepage, above) might also help a bit :) Cheers.

[DQSD-Users] Re: DQSD-Users digest, Vol 1 #838 - 7 msgs
I checked in a Companies House search probably a year or two ago (should be ch.xml) which has been crippled by them including a session key that I can't work around. No amount of moaning at the relevant people could get the addition of a session key after a query is posted, so the search is officially broken. It might as well be deleted :( James ___ To help you stay safe and secure online, we've developed the all new Yahoo!

[DQSD-Users] Re: notesbydave.com down?
Kim/Monty - My office NT4 box doesn't give an Add Quick Search type option in the toolbar after installing DQSD. And I finally woke from my post-Christmas semi-comatose state and realised that (as Kim also mentioned) the Error is due to the remote site wanting to affect the local zone, so it needs to be a trusted site to be able to do it. So instructions might be something along the lines of: In IE Internet Options|Security|Trusted Sites add http://www.dqsd.net/install.htm and hit Apply Then in the toobar right-click, go to Toolbars|New toolbar... and enter http://www.dqsd.net/install.htm (or installd.htm / installe.htm if DQSD is installed onto the D or E drives) as the address to install from, hit OK and wait a few seconds. Then (optionally) once the search bar has appeared in your toolbar, in IE Internet Options|Security|Trusted Sites select http://www.dqsd.net/install.htm, click on Remove and hit OK I've tried using local file addresses as the adress to install from and it never seems to work - it seems to need the script command in the install.htm files. So the URL at Step 3 does need to be a URL, although the instructions need to include the Trusted Zone steps as well. James ___ ALL-NEW Yahoo!

[DQSD-Users] notesbydave.com down?
Just tried installing DQSD 3.1.9 onto my WinNT4 SP6 machine with Firefox as default browser and encountered a few problems. So after uninstalling (BTW, the uninstaller deletes *all* the files in the Quick Search Deskbar directory, including any files added after the install - I had a backup folder of localprefs.js etc. Luckily I had another copy elsewhere :), but it might catch other people out...) I tried re-installing 3.1.8 and then using the http://notesbydave.com/toolbar/install.htm URL to get the DQSD toolbar up and running. However, the notesbydave.com URL seems to be down - pinging gives an IP of 68.80.225.136 but it timed out on returning packets. Is there anywhere else that we've got that hosts the install scripts?

[DQSD-Users] DQSD + Firefox
I've just started using Firefox (1.0 PR) over the last few days and I've got to say that it's pretty darned great. Some really nice plugins for it as well. However, I'm wondering if any other Firefox users can help - is there any way of ensuring that *all* of the DQSD windows open in the same Firefox window (i.e. open as new tabs)? I've got my localprefs set so that: reuseBrowserWindowMode = 1; launchmode=2; which results in searches opening in new tabs within a single Firefox window, but for example entering URLs to be opened or using aliases opens a new instance of Firefox rather than opening in a new tab. I've got the Single Window extension/plugin installed and set to: Enable single window mode Open external links in new tabs Open links with invalid targets in new tabs Open JavaScript links in new tabs Any suggestions?

RE: [DQSD-Users] DQSD and Windows XP SP2
Kim - I hadn't appreciated the DQSD architecture issues, especially with it already being hosted by the taskbar process. I've got to say that it amazes me that there's not any clear way of addresing the issue. Personally, I might go back to XP SP1 - SP2 has crippled my digital radio and nobody's come up with a workaround for that yet (heck... we were already having to force Win2k USB drivers into XP, and SP2 has just blown it away completely). However, that doesn't address the bigger issue - DQSD is a fantastic utility, and it would be terrible for it to be made useless on all new machines, or at least for it to require them to have registry hacks and for annoying pop-ups to appear every time a favourite search is called. DQSD is the kind of application I want my dad to use (and I think that he qualifies as an average home user), but unless it comes with a nice installer that requires absolutely no thought, doesn't do anything that might cause concern (i.e. doesn't reduce the security on his mahine) and works absolutely seamlessly (i.e. doesn't give pop-up security warnings), that's never going to happen. And if he doesn't use it then there are millions of others who similarly won't use it for exactly the same reasons. I might have a hunt around to see if I can find any useful people to talk to - searching around for info on this previously, I found a couple of blogs from MS developers working on SP2, and it might be worth at least contacting them to see if they might be able to help or give any pointers etc. James ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

RE: [DQSD-Users] DQSD and Windows XP SP2
Kim - Thanks for the reply. I know I'm going to feel awkward about making this suggestion since I can't code it up, but... I've got a feeling that the only way to get DQSD working properly under XP SP2 (even taking into account the available registry hack) might be to wrap up (i.e. host) DQSD in a Windows executable. Presumably this would allow DQSD HTML and objects originating from it (e.g. external objects such as Microsoft.XmlHttp) not to be limited by the rules applying to IE content (i.e the SP2 Local Machine Zone lockdown), allowing them to run without being blocked. At http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/productinfo/XPSP2/securebrowsing/lockdown_devimp.aspx it talks about: creat[ing] a separate application that hosts the HTML content Internet Explorer Web Object Control (WebOC). The HTML is then no longer bound by the same rules that apply to content run in Internet Explorer. When the HTML content runs in that other process, it can have full rights as defined by the developer or zone policy for that process. Of course, MS don't seem to have gone so far as to give sample code or suggested code architecture for hosting an HTML-based application! Anyway, those are my thoughts... James :( ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

[DQSD-Users] Re: different link page depening on option entered
Tom - If I understand you properly, you're wanting to post a different form according to options that have been entered as part of a search query. I submitted a search patus.xml a while ago which chooses between two different forms depending upon user input. Don't know if the search was committed but if you want a copy then email me. It's basically got two forms - patusf_0 and patusf_1 - and the form submitting bit of the code is as follows: if (strForm == patusf_0) { var myform = document.patusf_0; } else { var myform = document.patusf_1; } myform.Query.value = strQuery; submitForm(myform); strQuery is the query including the user-dependent options, and is common to both forms. I don't know if that's the best way to do it, but it works for me. Hope that answers your query. James ___ALL-NEW Yahoo!

[DQSD-Users] RE: Dave search bar and active content blocking by XP SP2
Thad's obviously hit the nail on the head here, but presumably it is potentially dangerous to set those registry keys to 0 since they will cancel the increased security in the Local Zone for HTML which is implemented by SP2's Local Machine Lockdown. There's a linked page detailing developer implications at: http://msdn.microsoft.com/security/productinfo/XPSP2/securebrowsing/lockdown_devimp.aspx This suggests a number of alternative solutions, including saving files as HTA instead of HTML to give different security zone settings, or adding a mark of the web comment in the HTML files along the lines of: !-- saved from url=(0020)http://www.dqsd.net/ -- to give the HTML the same security zone settings as the source website There's also mention of: creat[ing] a separate application that hosts the HTML content Internet Explorer Web Object Control (WebOC). The HTML is then no longer bound by the same rules that apply to content run in Internet Explorer. When the HTML content runs in that other process, it can have full rights as defined by the developer or zone policy for that process.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Real-time holidays
Well, if that's going to be done then the UK holidays can be a bit difficult. In particular, holidays falling on a weekend are celebrated on the Monday following. If two consecutive holidays fall on a Saturday and Sunday, they are observed on the Monday and Tuesday following. Presumably that would need some kind of country-specific switch (or is that a general rule for other countries as well?). UK holidays are also occasionally a bit unpredictable - for example, the Spring Bank Holiday is usually the last Monday in May, but back in 2002 was changed to Tuesday 4 June to pair up with a special Bank Holiday on Monday 3 June (Golden Jubilee Bank Holiday) to give a 4-day weekend. This might not sound too convenient, but would it be worth including the possibility for some kind of holiday exceptions in a country-specific file (e.g. the main holidays file) so that a holiday defined by parsing of previous parameters in the file can be cancelled, and so that other holidays can be added? We would also need to draw a distinction between holidays and festivals - I've got a load of festivals such as Mothering Sunday, Commonwealth Day and Shrove Tuesday in holidays.gb.xml which aren't holidays (and don't obey the above rule about holidays falling on a weekend) but which are nice to include anyway.

Re: [DQSD-Users] Real-time holidays
After years of wondering how the various UK holiday dates get calculated, 30 seconds on Google looking for Easter and algorithm made it all clear! Just in case people are interested, there's a good javascript calculator here (click on Return links for the main page): http://tech.irt.org/articles/js052/source.htm There's also a good explanation of how various other holidays and festivals (Shrove Tuesday etc.) are calculated around the Easter date: http://www.geofftech.co.uk/obsessions/easter/ James Yahoo!

RE: [DQSD-Users] win 95 taskbar
Dave - Like JB said, it may well be down to IE integration with the OS. As I recall from Win95, there was a Desktop Update OS patch that came with Internet Explorer 4.01 SP2. This installed a quickstart bar and allowed a web desktop, and so it might enable you to use DQSD on Win95. If you can find a copy of IE 4.01 SP2 (it's bound to be on some old ISP CDs etc. you might have) then you'll need to uninstall your current version of IE (it might be an idea to export all your favourites first), install the old IE + Desktop Update (it's an option during the install process), and then re-install the current IE over it. No guarantees that it will work though! James __ Do You Yahoo!?
