awesome Script. Thank you :)

Running latest version with FF3.0 on a Mac.
* shift+ctrl+space does nothing. Can it be because I use Mac keyboard?
* When i do shortcuts, for example command+C to copy or command+D to bookmark, LookItUp2 opens. Should it be like this?
Thanks!

Would it be possible to add an option to add modifier keys to the site shortcuts?

I love you scripts!!
Good Job!

Thank you very much for the prompt fixes! I am enjoying using this to help read texts in spanish, allowing me to look up words easily on the fly.

I confirm shift + ctrl + space does not work for me in FF 2.
I would like to also comment that having a vertical scroll bar is very important. As the window the results are displayed is narrow, there is a good chance that it will not fit there and it is not easily to force a scroll.

Thank You! This script is one of the best around, I use it daily. Your work is superb.

I have a few questions, and I'm not sure if the problem is on my end or a bug.

I'm using Firefox 2.0.0.13 and LookItUP2 version 0.5.91

First, during a single or a combo search, the bottom pane lacks a horizontal scroll bar. I'm just curious if this is intentional or a bug. If this is intentional, is there a way of adding a horizontal scroll bar?

Second, I see you fixed a problem with shift + ctrl + space in beta 3, though I cant seem to get it to work in firefox 2.

Thanks again for your hard work.

hi, I can't get this to work. When I type shift+ctrl+spacebar nothing happens. I thought it might conflict with some other extension but I tried in a new completely empty profile (except for greasemonkey, of course :)), and still nothing. I'm on XP, firefox 3 beta 5. ( I just upgraded, it didn't work either on beta 4)

any ideas?

thanks for this awsome script :)

Looking at the screenshot of settings from the previous version, there is definitely something wrong with the settings dialogue here. I can't even SEE the URL field text.

See here for a screenshot:

@Billy Blue,

Thanks for that fix - would you perhaps know how to make the settings box bigger? It is TINY on my screen, not sure if it's a bug or not (ff3) but it is practically unusable at the size it is (about 280x130 with lots of scrolling). I have tried editing the JS but can't seem to find what's setting this size.

Firefox 3 needs a minor update to fix Matis' problem.

iframe.addEventListener('load', function(e) {joinLoaded(siteId);}, false);

hi, this is probably my favourite script, i'm currently using firefox 3 beta 3 and the iframe is shrunk like that

Let me share one I'm using:
http://lookwayup.com/lwu.exe/lwu/d?s=s&w=[words]
encoding ISO 8859-1

It fits nicely because it's the sidebar version, not the full-screen version you get at http://lookwayup.com/

Your scripts is fantastic. Thank very much.

I have a bug.
To close : "Click on the page, or press Esc key to close the box"

Esc don't respond and when click on the page it lookitup close but the page mantain reloading in the status bar.

Fantastic script! I have one challenge. The search results page for jigsaw.com is as follows:
http://www.jigsaw.com/SearchCompany.xhtml

Is there a way to get this to work with your script?

Thanks

Bjørn, is there a way in which one could copy, clip what information one retrieves? For example using a program such as Evernote or Surfulater, or simply selecting the area one wishes to copy, etc...?

I've just started using LookItUp2 the other day. Like it lots! :-)

Thanks for your time,

Joseph

Grats Bjørn Rosell on the single most useful script ever!

I have just one bug complaint, When I try to look up something on Urban Dictionary, I get a weird lue screen, the type of blue that is seen on Urban Diionary's background on its website. Whats really strange is that you can briefly see that it loads normally but then the blue screen thing happens. Heres a screen grab:
First one, during loading:

Second one, after loading is complete:

Thanks for this great script, despite this minor bug, thats probably my fault. It might be interfering with one of my FF extensions, or setting. who knows for sure.
