Hey dudes, does anyone know if Fast Dial supports jquery? Ie. is it possible to edit the HTML file to include my own javascript? I've just switched back to the fox from safari (due to its bandwidth hogging top site updates), but I really liked the slick animations / transitions. This seems like a great extension but I'm a design freak, so any help would be much appreciated.

But apart from that, I'm having good fun with stylish at the moment. It's starting to look pretty cool a some subtle drop shadows etc. I might have to post it for all those mac dudes out there. ;)

Submitted by bjzaba on Sun, 11/22/2009 - 02:37I did some digging into the extensions folder and found this file:
/extensions/fastdial@telega.phpnet.us/chrome/content/template/fastdial.tpl
<% for(var i in this.search) { %>
<% } %>
<% for(var i = 0; i < this.options.width * this.options.height; i++) { %>
<% if (i % this.options.width == 0) { %> <% } %>
<% var thumbnail = this.thumbnails[i]; %>
" class="box"
title="<%= thumbnail && thumbnail.getTooltip() || "" %>"
<%= !thumbnail && options.hideEmpty ? "style=\"visibility: hidden;\"" : "" %>>
<% if (!thumbnail) { %>
<% } else { %>
">
<% var isBack = thumbnail.properties.isBack; %>
<% if (isBack || thumbnail.isLoading()) { %>
">
<% } else { %>
<% } %>
<%= thumbnail.properties.title || " " %>
<% } %>
<% if ((i + 1) % this.options.width == 0) { %> <% } %>
<% } %>
I'm pretty sure that this is what fast dial uses to generate the page, so I might try editing it and seeing what happens. Wish me luck!
By the way, does anyone know what the search thing is? Would it work like Opera's speed dial? It doesn't seem to generate anything when I look in firebug.

Submitted by chiaroscuro on Sun, 11/22/2009 - 06:34There are great advantages to using Stylish if your interest is related to Fast Dial display.
There are some styles on Userlogos that may be of interest to you.
Please see here
you will see:
some of them are really useful.
some of them address problems that are not relevent to present versions
some of them, especially those that try to modify cell size, are really more experimental and should not be relied on in any way !
It would seem that you have discovered that there are a whole number of Fast Dial files in the Firefox profile.
I find this extension very useful for having a quick look at the profile while remaining in firefox
Maybe you know it.
the file fastdial.html may be of interest to you.
a modification of the file is referred to here.
the search function in Fast Dial 2.23b1 is inoperative.
search however works in Fast Dial 2.22b
The search facility is the same one that is available in Firefox with different modules that can be downloaded from here:
http://mycroft.mozdev.org/search-engines.html
These engines are stored in the Firefox profile
There is also a mycroft search engine. so one can search for new search engines using a search engine.
The author of Fast Dial is not available at the moment.
many thanks
