Have you ever wished you could simultaneously look up a term in this site's tag list and on the dKosopedia?
Or that, when you come across a political term on another site, you could quickly pull up that term's dKosopedia entry and related Daily Kos diaries?
Well, I did, so I wrote a little javascript bookmarklet that does just that. (script and instructions below the fold...)
Note: I'm not a javascript pro, and I've only tested it in Safari and Firefox. It doesn't work correctly in Firefox -- the dKosopedia frame overwrites the diary frame due to a redirect. Feel free to make improvements/suggestions!
javascript:if(window.getSelection) term=window.getSelection(); else if(document.getSelection) term=document.getSelection(); else if (document.selection)term=document.selection; if (term=%3D'') term=window.prompt('Search Term:', ''); resultWin=window.open('', '', 'scrollbars=1'); resultWin.document.write('<html><frameset rows="60%25, 40%25"><frame name="tags" src="http://www.dailykos.com/tag/'+term+'"></frame><frame name="article" src="http://www.dkosopedia.com/index.php/'+term+'"></frame></frameset></html>');
Create a new bookmark, and paste the above text into the location field. (In Safari, you can paste the text directly into your address bar and then drag the blue site icon from the address bar onto your bookmarks bar.) Name it "dKos lookup", or whatever you want. Then highlight a term on any page, and click on the bookmark. (Here are some test terms: George W. Bush Congress Diebold )
It's a bit rough, and probably won't work in all browsers. If you have any fixes/improvements, post them below!
