Re: [Lingo] wwwjdic new kanji dic interfaces

[steven smith <sjs@example.com>]

Jim -- the one place this new mr.html page breaks down for 
me is when it calls wwwjdic.  For some reason Monash is 
really slow (often 15-30 seconds or more) for me when 
fetching the kanji definition. I use the wwwjdic mirror in 
Canada which is much faster.

Could Ben use the refer'er from the link on jdic's home page 
or something to determine which wwwjdic server is being used 
and call that instead of the Monash server or something like 
that.

I guess I'm going to have to learn Ajax.  I noticed with 
some interest that he's calling active-x objects from within 
his code.

Who is Ben Bullock?  This is an interesting interface.  He's 
the one who came up with kradfile/radkfile, right?

BTW, the link in "the names entry in Ben Bullock's 
sci.lang.japan Alternative FAQ." on 
http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjnames2.html is broken.
