 | Hi, I am trying to find a wikipedia bookmarklet for Opera that would
allow me to lookup something highlighted on a page. I could have sworn
that the one i had worked until i had to reinstall opera (why would
that make a difference? all the other bookmarklets continued to work).
Any help would be thoroughly appreciated, perhaps someone out there has
written such a bookmarklet or knows where to find one?
Thank you,
-Gaiko

I don't know whether this bookmarklet fits in opera, you may try it:
-----------
javascript:
var s=window.getSelection().toString();
for(var i=0;!s&&ivar w=window.open('http://en.wikipedia.org/'+
(s?escape(s.replace(/ /g,'_')):''),
'wiki','width=950,height=600,scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes');
w.focus();
-----------
Best regards, wz
p.s.(1): I assume you know you'll have to remove the linefeeds.
p.s.(2): Maybe you'll have to replace window.getSelection()
with the ( deprecated ) method document.getSelection().

"Fits" is not a serious issue in Opera. When actually used as a
bookmarklet (in Bookmarks rather than as a button) the legal length is
quite long.
If you were to drag it to a button, then (besides length) you also have to
insure that you don't use any double quotes. In some of the early versions
of 7 it would also have trouble with "|", "&" or ">", but I believe
they've fixed that issue.

Here's a few I found while googling:

http://math-www.uni-paderborn.de/~axel/bookmarklet.html
http://subsimple.com/bookmarklets/collection_search.asp#WikipediaLookup

I suspect that at least one of the above will give you a head-start in
recreating the one you had.

Of course, with any of these the question is whether you'd like the
bookmarklet to open in the same page. If it opens in a new page, then you
may need to allow popups.
It should be possible to define a button or context menu item (or to edit
search.ini) to do the same thing, and avoid the "allow popups" issue in
the process.
