To everyone:

Just as an FYI . . . nearly two years ago, MonkeeSage wrote, and, maintained, the 'ability' to have SPLIT SCREEN (either vertical OR horizontal) within K-Meleon. Also, as an added benefit, a link can be 'dragged' from one 'split screen' to the other.One can see / use it with the following web sites:

1. Vertical: Double Vision - Vertical

2. Horizontal: Double Vision - Horizontal

I mention this, because, wondering if these HTML pages should be added to the K-Meleon Wiki.

¿ ¿ ¿ What do you think ? ? ?

SlideRule

Sorry, the actual HTML did not display . . . should be:

Vertical: http://home.earthlink.net/~monkeesage/d_vis_v.htm

Horizontal: http://home.earthlink.net/~monkeesage/d_vis_h.htm

SlideRule

Well, this is just amazing. I had no idea you could do that.

That will be VERY useful--thanks a lot, SlideRule! I think it should be announced somewhere . . or wuz I the only one who didn't know? I do this routinely in my Windows itself (via Task Manager), but this is a first for me.

I set up each of them, and then added them to my bookmarks. I tried recalling them as bookmarks, and, yes, that works perfectly. Therefore I can set up some sort of button for them--right, jsnj?

-- Also, for anyone who is interested, there is a very nice double-screened Windows Explorer equivalent. Actually, there are a number of them. The one I recommend is the still-freeware version of a program that was later turned into shareware, but I think the still-free version remains the best. It is very useful for moving K-M files around, for example. It is 2xExplorer which is still available for download, if you look on the right-hand margin of http://netez.com/2xExplorer/

Now back to my "dual" K-Meleons! :-)

The dual panes may have limited function, though. So far, I have not been successful bringing up an active "Compose" window in GMail, while maintaining an independent second window for, say, going somewhere else in Google and grabbing a URL.

Works for more than just KM though. On a hunch I tried it in Firefox and it worked in that just as well. Of course, the .XUL interface took scads more RAM than my sleek little KM did.

KM... I just LOVE it!

gmail is very... well, it uses a lot of javascript.. so, i could definitely see it not working very well with this. I believe that gmail uses a small script when it loads that makes sure it's not part of a frame. That could be somehow related to your problem... possibly.

Well, Brian, you were right. Acting on your suggestion, I tried going to GMail but this time with JS disabled. It worked just fine on the split screen!

And that's good, becuz the new GMail-without-JavaScript is a pretty usable interface. Cool.

Thanks for that. :-)

Just as an FYI about the 'split screen' mode:

I do NOT know . . . how long . . . the 'link(s)' will be available. That is to say, the ' http://home.earthlink.net/~monkeesage/d_vis_v.htm ' link.

HOWEVER . . . it may be saved onto your own computer (a total of 5 HTML file for BOTH vertical and horizontal).

1. d_vis_controls
2. d_vis_h
3. d_vis_views_h
4. d_vis_v
5. d_vis_views_v

BUT . . . if you 'download' them to your own hard drive . . . you can also modify them to 'start-up' with the web sites (links) of your choice (Frame 1, Frame 2). Of course, you can add them to your 'Bookmarks' and, even give them nicknames . . . like . . . hor and ver.

And again . . . I wonder, if it would be a good idea to place a 'copy' of them on WIKI.

Just a thought (or two). :-)

SlideRule

SlideRule, how do you get those 5 files? <<strokes chin>>

Carson:

A four step process . . . to save the HTML files.

1. Open HTML --- http://home.earthlink.net/~monkeesage/d_vis_v.htm

2. Right click on UPPER 'frame' ( with URL:, Go, Back, Hide, Equal, buttons ), then Frame -> Save Frame As . . . and . . . select your download directory for

d_vis_controls.htm

3. Right click on UPPER 'frame' ( with URL:, Go, Back, Hide, Equal buttons ), then Save Page As . . . and . . . select your download directory for

d_vis_v.htm

4. In the same directory as step 2 and 3 above, create a web page, d_vis_views_v.htm with the following 'code/content'.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">;
<html><head><title>Double Vision</title></head>
<frameset id="fset2" cols="47.8%,47.8%">
<frame name="frame_1" id="frame_1" src="http://www.google.com"; marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" />
<frame name="frame_2" id="frame_2" src="http://www.google.com"; marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" />

<noframes>
<body>
<script language="Javascript 1.1" type="text/javascript">
<!--
alert("You're not using K-Meleon?");
window.open("http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net";, "_new");
-->
</script>
</noframes>
</body>
</frameset>
</html>

5. You may edit file in step 4 above with your own 'default' web pages, if you desire.

I hope this is clear, (at least as clear as mud) . . . and . . . Happy Split Screening.

SlideRule

Oh, sorry, and for the HORIZONTAL two files . . .

1. Open HTML --- http://home.earthlink.net/~monkeesage/d_vis_h.htm

2. Right click on UPPER 'frame' ( with URL:, Go, Back, Hide, Equal buttons ), then Save Page As . . . and . . . select your download directory for

d_vis_h.htm

3. In the same directory as step 2 above, create a web page, d_vis_views_h.htm with the following 'code/content'.

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Frameset//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/frameset.dtd">;
<html><head><title>Double Vision</title></head>
<frameset id="fset2" rows="47.8%,47.8%">
<frame name="frame_1" id="frame_1" src="http://google.com"; marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" />
<frame name="frame_2" id="frame_2" src="http://google.com"; marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" scrolling="auto" />

<noframes>
<body>
<script language="Javascript 1.1" type="text/javascript">
<!--
alert("You're not using K-Meleon?");
window.open("http://kmeleon.sourceforge.net";, "_new");
-->
</script>
</noframes>
</body>
</frameset>
</html>

Hope this helps.

SlideRule

Thanks, SlideRule. I'll squirt some WD-40 into my left ear to lubricate my brain, and get right to it. :-)

actually someone should put that to wiki. (sorry i do not know how)
Jordan has already chucked out other things due to space problems.
and he does not seem to answer to mail to that mail link via his old sites
- so better take care at a public place like our Wiki.
greetings
