[Dictionarysearch] Feedback on babylon.com links...

[David Wood]

Hi all,


DictionarySearch is an excellent extension...!


Just one small comment:  the links listed at the bottom of
http://dictionarysearch.mozdev.org/dictionaries.html for Babylon seem to
be slightly buggy (although Babylon's bug, not DictionarySearch's), at
least for non-ASCII chars.  For example, using:

http://online.babylon.com/combo/index.html?lang=4&word=$

for the word "cliché" produces a URL of:

http://online.babylon.com/combo/index.html?lang=4&word=clich%E9

which is fine, but then Babylon seems not to properly unescape the URL
and actually searches for the word "clich%E9" and finds nothing.


As a possible alternative, URLs of the form listed below seem to work
properly, even with non-ASCII chars (haven't tested any non-European
charsets, though):

http://info.babylon.com/cgi-bin/info.cgi?word=$&lang=4&layout=combo.html


Cheers,

David
