[Taxacom] Links to literature pdf's in IPNI[Scanned]

[Shorthouse, David]

Folks,

Rod's link to my blog might have wrapped so try this if you're so inclined:
http://tinyurl.com/2gtq72.

A production version can be seen here: http://tinyurl.com/ypnyck and you're
welcome to get the JavaScript driving this functionality here:
http://canadianarachnology.dyndns.org/bioGUID/bioGUID.js. There's some
simple instructions within that JavaScript to duplicate this on your own
online lists of references. The important thing is that there is next to no
additional mark-up required; if you're relatively comfortable with
copy/paste in HTML and putting a link to a JavaScript file in your page
header, you can offer this functionality to visitors of your online lists of
references. It uses some Flash-based trickery, which would ordinarily
require that Rod open up his server to all incoming domains just as Yahoo
does with its Flash-based APIs. There's a potential security issue for Rod
so my domain is currently the only one playing nicely with his reference
parser. However, I also have some brief instructions within the above
JavaScript file to step around this constraint with a cogent "how-to". The
requirement is a server that handles asp or php files, which probably suits
>80% of web servers out there.

Keepin' it simple,

David P. Shorthouse
