I have released beta 0.7 with many fixes and enhancements, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/HomerJax.zip
The demo now uses JAWS Script functions for the message box and input box,
thereby eliminating the problem of the intended window not always being
the active one. Additional tasks demoed include the Google translation
API and the AccessibleWorld.org RSS feed. A New category of functions is
for parsing URLs. Each method has a documentation comment at the
beginning of its code in HomerJax.wsc, but I have not yet integrated all
updates into the documentation file HomerJax.htm.
To install, unarchive HomerJax.zip into the user script folder. Launch
Notepad and press Alt+JAWSKey+D (for demo). The scripts can also be
installed with JAWS Script Exchange, available at
http://EmpowermentZone.com/jsxsetup.exe
A fuller description of the demo is below.
Jamal
A demonstration program is included that shows how you can easily get the
content type, source HTML, or plain text of a web page; how you can
download a file to disk, how you can translate between languages via the
Google API; how you can read recent RSS items from AccessibleWorld.org;
how you can list MP3 files from AccessibleWorld.org; how you can get
messages from the public timeline of Twitter.com, or poast a tweet if you
have a Twitter account. The demo shows how data is converted from
JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) to what I call COM exchange format, and
how XML data may be conveniently accessed as well.
