Todd,
I've been playing with the 'news' search, as written it does not work for
me in IE5 (it works fine in my NS4.7).
I removed q=document.selection and the second ')' from the if statement and
it seems to work fine. I had to stick the whole thing inside an html page
to get it to work.
I got a button on my toolbar by adding it to the 'links' toolbar. Select
'view', 'toolbars', 'links' to display.
So with a bunch of juryrigging, it is working as advertised.
My lugnetnews.html files looks like this:
<script language='jscript'>
q=prompt("LUGNET News Search","");
if(q){u="http://www.lugnet.com/?q=";
for(i=0;i<q.length;i++){c=q.charAt(i);
u+=(c=="+")?"%2B":(c==" ")?"+":escape(c)}location.href=u}
</script>
There must be a better way, but it is possible.
