Which version are you working on? (When I tried with FF ver. 12, It works fine.)
In Iceweasel 10.0.4 it just sits there and spins forever. Ok. I'll test with Iceweasel if I could have enough time.
- You can't get past the first page of results.
What did you mean by ' first page' ?
When there are more than 25 results, the results are paginated. Your tool cannot display pages 2, 3, 4, ...
At this point, Right. It should be better to implement pagemation.
Why I created this plugin is....
* I'd like to implement a searching feature of PG entries within my webapp. * I could not find any API which is accessible& useful from JavaScript.
That doesn't make sense. You have just implemented a fake front for the PG site. You should have implemented a full OPDS client. Then you'd be able to search more than one site from your app. There's an iOS app called "Inkstone Ebook Search" that searches all prominent ebook sites in one go. That makes sense.
I think it depends, whether it make sense or not. Which means, If there is anyone who wants to use this plugin, it makes sense. And, I'm the first one who wants to use this plugin. Anyway, I agreee with your suggention that I should implement a OPDS client. That's better, totally. Thank you fro your feedback!
- You have hardcoded the number of items to shave off the top. This number changes according to the search results.
Yes. but PG responses a few entries which seems not to be a real entry, at the top of its response. ("Sort by Release Date" and something like that) http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/search.opds/?query=faust
This number changes?
Of course it changes. Just try a few searches. You'll have to inspect the target url to tell which ones to skip.
OK. I7ll try to fix this too. On Sun, May 6, 2012 at 9:03 PM, Marcello Perathoner <marcello@perathoner.de> wrote:
