Sure thing.
Here is the whole ubiquity (http://labs.mozilla.com/2008/08/
introducing-ubiquity/) command in its current form. The relevant
section is at the end.
CmdUtils.CreateCommand({
name: "tag-cloud",
takes: {body_of_text: noun_arb_text},
description: "Replaces selected text with a frequency-based tag
cloud.",
preview: "Creates a tag cloud out of selected text.",
execute: function(statusText) {
if(statusText.text.length < 100) {
displayMessage("You probably want to selecet more text to make a
decent cloud");
return;
};
var updateUrl = "http://tagcrowd.com/index.pl";;
var updateParams = {
name: "tagcrowd",
text: statusText.text,
doStemming: "yes"
};
jQuery.post(updateUrl, updateParams, function(ajdata) {
displayMessage(jQuery("textarea:first", ajdata).val());
},
"html");
}
});
The page I'm POST-ing to, and getting the contents of is:
http://tagcrowd.com/index.pl
Basically I just want to use a selector on that returned page, but
passing it in as the context doesn't seem to work . . .or I'm doing it
wrong.
Thanks. :)
