Babel Fish

Hi,

Sorry if this is a dumb question.

I've added a search button to a submenu which is fine but I would liek to add the Babel Fich utility to a submenu too.

Is this possible?

the code they want to put in the page is

<script language="JavaScript1.2" src="http://www.altavista.com/static/scripts/translate_engl.js"></script>


Thanks.

Hi,

The only way I can see you getting BabelFish into a menu is by creating a .html page, paste the code that Alta Vista gave you into that file and then call that file in an IFRAME inside a menu item, like this:


Quote:
aI("text=`<iframe src='yourbabelfishfile.htm'></iframe>`;type=html")


Hope this helps,
Andy

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

Works a treat except it translates the page that the babelfish is on and not the original page. Can't see a way for it to be done this way.

Think I need to look at a way for the menu button to make the babelfish icon appear, switching a layer to visible when you click it.

This should work shouldn't it.?

I have posted a page to http://www.milonic.com/babelfish_milonic.php

It does work and works quite well :D

Hope this helps,
Andy

Many Thanks
