Yet another Yubnub bookmarklet (URIComponent)

[HopfZ]

Usage: Highlight a text (ex: extraordinary) and click the bookmarklet
and type command (ex: dict). Or don't highlight a text and click the
bookmarklet and type query (ex: dict extraordinary).

The bookmarklets can be found at the following webnote page. one is for
new window, another is for current window:
http://www.aypwip.org/webnote/load.py?name=yubnub.bookmarklet&time=2006-09-20+16%3A20%3A39

The difference from Brian Armknecht's bookmarklet is that it uses
URIComponent instead of escape. it should have less encoding problem
for foreign language query.

tested in Opera 9, IE 6, Firefox 1.5.

bookmarklet codes

yubnub bookmarklet (URIComponent)(open in new window)
javascript:(function(){
var w=window,d=document,gS='getSelection',r;
// cross-browser way to get selection
var
se=''+(w[gS]?w[gS]():d[gS]?d[gS]():d.selection.createRange().text);
// trim selection
se=se.replace(/(^\s+|\s+$)/g,'');
// yub('ls google') will return a yubnub url that parses 'ls google'.
function yub(s){
return('http://yubnub.org/parser/parse?command='+
encodeURIComponent(s).replace(/\%20/g,'+'))
}
if(r=prompt('search-word: '+se+'\ntype yubnub command:'))
open(yub(se.length?(r+' '+se):r));
})();

yubnub bookmarklet (URIComponent)(open in current window)
replace the last line (open...) with
location=yub(se.length?(r+' '+se):r);

Good idea, Hopf.

I added a comment to the original YubNub blog post to mention your
bookmarklets:
