How do I do it?
- Right click on the text in one of the grey boxes above which reads 'xrefer it!' or 'go Google!' or whatever and choose 'Add Bookmark for Link' from the context menu.
- Select Communicator menu > Bookmarks > Edit Bookmarks
- Drag the bookmark which begins 'javascript … ' and drop it in the Personal Toolbar folder.
- Rename the bookmark by right clicking it and choosing 'bookmark properties'.
- After you have confirmed your choice of name, you may return to the main browser window, and your button will be ready to use. I personally have a Search folder of bookmarks, and all of the above within that folder, which is very convenient!
Try it out: Highlight text on any web page and click the xrefer it! button or the Google button
Here are some searches to get you going:
spam
history is bunk
French Revolution
Alternately: just click on the active bookmark button
and it will prompt you for the search string and hence save loading
the empty original page for the search engine.
If you have any problems with this, or if there is some other
search engine you'd like a bookmark button setup for, by all means,
sent me email (see my
home page).
If any javascript experts out there know how to automatically set the bookmark title when you right-button, please let me know!
