Another nice change.. (not sure what's actually changed) but I'm sure it must have been nice..  I can help you with that. The code is a little cleaner, with 1 left IF statement (doesn't change anything functionally), and maybe other stuff that I have not noticed. But, you now have the option of having the Wikipedia page load right when the profile is loaded in Profiler, or, if you'd rather keep the load on the system and bandwidth consumption to a minimum, you can have show a clickable link, that will load the Wikipedia page on demand. Which makes me think of a feature request/or bug (depending how you want to see it). Maybe Profiler should execute/load the HTML Windows' code only when the HTML window gets activated? Or is it already the case? | | | | Last edited: by RossRoy |

Good idea! 
Now, is there a way to hack it so it removes the menu strip on the left, to save some space? Uhm, with the current security settings in IE7 it is impossible to splice up a web page through javascript. Quoting RossRoy: Quote:
Nah! Helps me actually, seeing a master of JavaScript at work.
x:  Anything I can do to help, I'll try to do...
You seem to like my little gradient, I've seen you add it to a few of your Windows 
x: Yep, I got it in all my HTML windows
So that's how to do it! I want to avoid the extra if statement, but I couldn't get this shorthand version to work when I tried it. Time to change my script too!
Thanks for again improving upon it!
x: Yea, this conditional operator '?' var result = (statement) ? true: false; is quite nice... short and sweet
Your Welcome!

Or is it already the case? I believe that only HTML windows that has focus (tab selected) gets updated. I noticed this when I had one of my HTML windows floating about (selected)... the other didn't update. It least that's what I recall... |

It least that's what I recall... I think you're right. I took advantage of the fact that my internet connection is a bit slow tonight, and when switching from gallery to Wikipedia, I see the Wikipedia page load. |

| | Posted: | | | | Hi guys, inspired by the nice YouTube/GoogleVideo HTML window, I have enhanced this Wikipedia window to support a new (more XML like) syntax. This way, both syntaxes are equal, it has the advantage to not be displayed in the regular Notes view, and is a little more flexible.  New Syntax: <wiki page=TheWikipediaTitle /> Embeds the Wikipedia page or <wiki link=TheWikipediaTitle /> Creates a link to Wikipedia The old syntax <wiki>TheWikipediaTitle</wiki> is still supported, so nobody needs to change their already existing notes entries. If no wiki tag is found, a Wikipedia search link (for movie title) is generated. Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | Is it possible to integrate the Wikipedia window into the "customtab" on the Mithirandir skin? And if it is, how would one go about doing it? |

| | Posted: | | | | It would be nice to have a tag to choose another Wikipedia language for just one special profile (e.g. <wiki lang=en> or <wiki lang=de>).
BTW: I'm using the print view of Wikipedia, the syntax is "http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=" + title + "&printable=yes"; The only problem I'm aware of is a title with an &. | | |

why would you ever want just one page to be in a different language? | | | | Paul |
