Edit Buttons



The Edit Buttons dialog box is displayed by the More Links button on the Reference Bar.  The Edit Buttons dialog box allows the default behavior of the Reference Bar's three predefined buttons to be modified.  The Edit Buttons feature is only available with Jarte Plus.





Buttons:  Lists the Reference Bar's three buttons.  Click on a button name to define it using the URL box.

Button Name:  Displays the name of the button.  The name can not be modified.

URL:  Enter the world wide web address to be associated with the selected link.  Or, you can enter the full file path of any program you wish to link to (e.g., C:\Program Files\Accessories\Mspaint.exe).

Tip:  This tip is for advanced users.  A link parameter can be used in the provided URL.  Jarte will substitute the Reference Bar's
lookup target for the link parameter before using the URL.  The link parameter must appear as <<link parm>> in the URL.  For example, define a link named "Dictionary" with the following URL:

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=<<link parm>>

Lets say the word "horse" is typed into the lookup target box.  Select the newly added "Dictionary" item in the More Links popup menu.  Jarte will substitute the word "horse" for "<<link parm>>" as follows:

http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?book=Dictionary&va=horse

The result is the word "horse" is automatically looked up at the Merriam-Webster web site!  As you might guess, this is exactly what the dictionary button on the Reference Bar does by default.

A lot of web sites can be used in this way.  You will come up with some good ideas on how to use this feature with a little thought and experimentation.  If you think of an interesting way to use this feature and would like to share your idea you may do so by sending an e-mail to [email protected].  Your ideas are welcome!

Default:  Sets the button back to its original default behavior.

User Defined:  Sets the button to use the link provided in the URL box..

Accept:  Commits the change to the selected button.
