The Gollum Browser — Wikipedia Ajax Love

A new browser has appeared and this one is doing something very specific. It accesses Wikipedia, that’s it. The Browser is called Gollum, the Wikipedia Browser and is written in Ajax, with PHP5 driving the code behind it. This really means that you can very simply include the browser as a popup.

function gollum(q, l, wl)

{

var wikiwin = window.open(“http://gollum.easycp.de/gollum/gollum.php?a=core&l="+((l)?l:'')+"&wl="+((wl)?wl:'')+"&q="+((q)?q:''), “WIKI_ENVIRONMENT”, “height=580, width=780, top=0, left=0, menubar=0, location=0, resizable=1, status=1”);

wikiwin.focus();

}

Having the required script in this post, would allow me to simple link Germany and clicking the word would end up opening the browser with the Wikipedia Definition on it. I could of course simply link, but this would be only half as cool, wouldn’t it?
