Chris, interesting idea: FWIW: how about displaying existing bookmarks in a drop down to the right of the address box and loading them into the bottom frame when selected...? cheers, Garry On Wed, 04 Apr 2001, Chris Gray wrote:
I've got a proof-of-concept prototype of a bookmark manager up and running and if anyone is interested I'd like people to try it out and give me some feedback.
The idea was to allow creation of a Web-accessible set of bookmarks as easily as creation of bookmarks local to a browser without having to fill out forms. It came out of frustration from trying to keep track of bookmarks in multiple browsers on multiple computers at multiple locations. I wanted it all to work on the Web and not depend on locally installed software so I could even get to my bookmarks when visiting a friend or at a public access machine.
I've done it by having Zope act in effect like a proxy browser or a Browser-in-a-Browser. You browse the web in the main frame of a page and the upper frame has a form to enter a new address and links to create or view bookmarks.
The main problem is that heavily scripted pages often don't work in the proxy browser, so I've provided a means at any step of the way to escape the proxy browser to look at the page directly.
If you're interested, you can see the prototype at: http://cpgray.lib.uwaterloo.ca:8180/noddies/bookmarkerExperiment/browserFram...
One 'feature' I have noticed is that it doesn't seem to like URLs consisting of a domain only (e.g. http://www.zope.org/ vs. http://www.zope.org/index_html).
Cheers, Chris
