New web accessories for WinXP


Question

I'm almost ready to release an Internet Explorer 6 addon and I need some help:

a few testers

someone to donate some web/ftp space.

The release is basically a new version of the old web accessories that were released by microsoft.

Yes, some of the work is based on that unsupported original code.

It's all straight html/jscript (no activex controls are installed)

It will come with an install/uninstall routine.

The following tools will all add to your right click menu:

.zoom in/out (original MS scaling bug fixed)

.list all links in current page (disappearing window bug fixed +minor changes)

.text highlighter (small change)

.jump to Google Translator

.search for highlighted text using Google

.search for highlighted text in Google news groups

.check links on page (w3c.org)

.validate the page source @ w3c.org

Are there any suggestions?

I'd like to make it a Neowin branded release..um 'neowin web tools' or something.. if that's OK - Neobond?

Thanks,

Like this:

Instead of everyone having to see all the menu items (some people won't need all them), have a list of checkboxes or something to show / hide vertain items. EG:

(full menu)

Zoom In

Zoom Out

List Links

Search

Search Newsgroups

Check links

View source

(customized menu)

Zoom In

Zoom Out

Search

Search Newsgroups

...so the user can define which items they want to see.

Suggestion II: Don't make the menu items long, so the text extends the menu in width. EG: Instead of "List all links on current page" use "List all links" or even "List links". Then, there's no wide menus.

Done! The installer lets you either :

.install ALL tools;

.install Google tools only;

.install Web author tools only;

.custom install;

Noted. Yeah this annoys me too.
