Nice idea. Just a data point: with the Modern skin, you can hover a link and see a popup with the title, infobox image, and first paragraph. Just something to consider in relation to this script.

Very nice! I've got just one little wish: As I use the keyboard for scrolling, I would like the focus to automatically change to the box instead of remaining on the underlying page.

Thanks alot!

Would be nice if this tool also works for the SSL-Website of Wikipedia

The script does work on ff3beta5 but it freezes firefox - and sometimes the whole system while it processes the page, which can take up to 10 seconds. I'm working on a double core 1.66MHz intel notebook.

In spite of that, the script is a huge help, thank you!!

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. :)
