Message-ID: <1118ef3d0902021003n2b060357q2cc6d15869689ca@mail.gmail.com> Hi folks, Has anyone encountered the problem that LibX is causing their browser to crash? I've been using LibX for a while now and never noticed this sort of behaviour myself. We launched LibX publicly last Monday, and I've had only one report to this effect: that our LibX installed in Firefox 3.0.5 is causing the browser to crash 'more frequently.' What sort of questions should I be asking to help diagnose the problem?

LibX in Firefox (unlike in IE) does not contain any code that could make the browser crash due to a mistake in the code we're adding. I would submit crash reports to Mozilla and see if they match any reported bugs. Also, note that Firefox on some platforms is more stable than on others (e.g., Windows is more stable than, say MacOSX). - Godmar On Mon, Feb 2, 2009 at 1:03 PM, Dan Sich wrote: > Hi folks, > > Has anyone encountered the problem that LibX is causing their browser > to crash?

This box is checked for Cornell's Voyager. Uncheck if you don't like that. Since many catalogs at some time required this down conversion, we made the default setting true when we introduced it. - Godmar On Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 12:34 PM, Enrico Silterra wrote: > Fire fox 3.0.5 -- Windows XP. > libX -- cornell edition 1.5.7 > > on this page: (for instance) > http://www.fink.de/katalog/titel/978-3-7705-4781-4.html > the 13 digit ISBN generates a 10 digit isbn link into our voyager catalog. > > this page shows that the 10 digit isbn for this item is indeed one being used: > http://www.amazon.de/Ank%C3%BCnfte-Epochenschwelle-1900-Aage-Hansen-L%C3%B6ve/dp/3770547810/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1233855066&sr=8-1 > > (and on that version of amazon only the 10 digit isbn is auto-linked.?!) > > I wonder if it is always true that searching on 10 digit isbn is alway > equivalent to > searching on the 13 digit isbn? > > Rick > > > > -- > Enrico Silterra Software Engineer > 501 Olin Library Cornell University Ithaca NY 14853 > Voice: 607-255-6851 Fax: 607-255-6110 E-mail: es287 at cornell.edu > http://www.library.cornell.edu/dlit > "caelum ipsum petimus stultitia", Horace, Odes, I, 3. > CONFIDENTIALITY NOTE > The information transmitted, including attachments, is intended only > for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain > confidential and/or privileged material.

I am awaiting further details from the patron re. browser and OS. In a nutshell, the patron is telling me that: - enabling 3rd party browser extensions didn't solve the problem. - within Windows Update / Custom there was no option labelled "Software, Optional" though there was an option for installing SP3. I'm hoping that the problem will be resolved by guiding the patron through the Windows Update process. But the patron did ask me directly if SP3 was required for LibX to install properly.

You have to have the .NET Framework 2.0 installed (though the extension should work with higher versions of the runtime). -- Arif Khokar aikhokar at cs.vt.edu From es287 at cornell.edu Fri Feb 20 05:17:06 2009 From: es287 at cornell.edu (Enrico Silterra) Date: Fri, 20 Feb 2009 08:17:06 -0500 Subject: [LibX] handle / doi recognition Message-ID: Hi! there is now a firefox extension for recognizing handles, resolving them directly, and actually treating the handle as the address of the target page -- not the target URL. http://www.handle.net/hs-tools/extensions/firefox_hdlclient.html Any chance this could be incorporated in some way into libx? just my .02 yoctocents, Thanks!
