Description

Adds an icon after internal article links on wikipedia pages which, when clicked, opens the article inline in a dhtml frame.

Latest Version: 0.1.5

Project Homepage: http://projects.apathyant.com/wikipediainline/

ChangeLog:

From v0.1.4 → 0.1.5
  • Minor Update: Fixed a glitch with the new toggle-window code introduced in 0.1.3
From v0.1.3 → 0.1.4
  • Added code from Ben Shepherd to remove the open inline window icons from printed pages. Thanks Ben!
From v0.1.2 → 0.1.3
  • The open window button now works as a toggle, opening the frame on first click and closing it on second click.
From v0.1.1 → 0.1.2
  • Fixed the DOMParser issue by using a work around from the greasemonkey mailing list
  • Fixed an issue with the readability (all the text being CSS'd grey)
From v0.1 → 0.1.1
  • Fixed a problem grabbing the headline
  • Fixed a positioning problem which would cause the inline window to appear above the links despite the link being too close to the top of the browser-frame (Requiring the user to scroll back up to view the inline-window). Inline windows now appear either above or below the anchor depending on which side has more space in the viewable area.

I just tested the script with Firefox 3.0 beta 5 on Windows XP, and it appears to be working. Are people still having problems with the 3.0 betas?

I really hope this can be fixed for the new firefox as it is the ultimate research tool addon for wikipedia. Thanks!

I like being able to check out the links without being redirected. Still have the choice to go to the source if you want to. The window is large enough to easily read the content.

Super! Works great, and a very useful tool for navigating wikipedia. Everyone should have this.

Box has no problems. However, the pages never load; they only give an Error loading page... message.

Suggestion / request. Well, two.

1. When you click "Go to full article" I think it should close the frame. I middle-click that link to open in a new tab, but the frame is still around when I don't want it to.

2. Similar, I think if I click the little icon and that frame is already open, it should close. This would make it act as a little pop-up preview, but if I didn't scroll around or anything, my mouse is still there.

Thanks for a good tool!

Jon: I just tested out the script to be sure, but it's still working fine for me on Firefox 1.5.0.5, WinXP. I can't reproduce your error. Is there something in the error console that might shed some light on the problem?

I get "error loading page...." - then the box won't go away.

The issue mentioned below (re: DOMParser) has been worked around thanks to the following "snippet":http://www.mozdev.org/pipermail/greasemonkey/2005-December/006898.html

0.6.4 drops support for DOMParser. This breaks the script. Popups are still inserted and created, but they never get past the 'loading...' stage now. Until I learn how to work with the new method (E4X), which looks somewhat unpleasant... this script will remain broken. If anyone wants to unbreak this script, be my guest. :)
