1 % The MKWS manual: embedded metasearching with the MasterKey Widget Set
9 There are lots of practical problems in building resource discovery
10 solutions. One of the biggest, and most ubiquitous is incorporating
11 metasearching functionality into existing web-sites -- for example,
12 content-management systems, library catalogues or intranets. In
13 general, even when access to core metasearching functionality is
14 provided by simple web-services such as
15 [Pazpar2](http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2), integration work is seen
16 as a major part of most projects.
18 Index Data provides several different toolkits for communicating with
19 its metasearching middleware, trading off varying degrees of
20 flexibility against convenience:
22 * [pz2.js](http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2/doc/ajaxdev.html) --
23 a low-level JavaScript library for interrogating the
24 [Service Proxy](http://www.indexdata.com/service-proxy/)
26 [Pazpar2](http://www.indexdata.com/pazpar2/).
27 It allows the HTML/JavaScript programmer
28 to create JavaScript applications to display facets, records,
29 etc. that are fetched from the metasearching middleware.
31 * masterkey-ui-core -- a higher-level, complex JavaScript library that
32 uses pz2.js to provide the pieces needed for building a
33 full-featured JavaScript application.
35 * MasterKey Demo UI -- an example of a searching application built on
36 top of masterkey-ui-core. Available as a public demo at
37 <http://mk2.indexdata.com/>
39 * [MKDru](http://www.indexdata.com/masterkey-drupal) --
40 a toolkit for embedding MasterKey-like searching into
41 [Drupal](https://www.drupal.org/)
44 All of these approaches require programming to a greater or lesser
45 extent. Against this backdrop, we introduced
46 [MKWS (the MasterKey Widget Set)](http://mkws.indexdata.com/)
47 -- a set of simple, very high-level HTML+CSS+JavaScript
48 components that can be incorporated into any web-site to provide
49 MasterKey searching facilities. By placing `<div>`s with well-known
50 MKWS classes in any HTML page, the various components of an application
51 can be embedded: search-boxes, results areas, target information, etc.
58 [a complete MKWS-based searching application](//example.indexdata.com/simple.html):
62 <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
63 <title>MKWS demo client</title>
64 <script type="text/javascript" src="//mkws.indexdata.com/mkws-complete.js"></script>
65 <link rel="stylesheet" href="//mkws.indexdata.com/mkws.css" />
68 <div class="mkwsSearch"></div>
69 <div class="mkwsResults"></div>
73 Go ahead, try it! Simply put the above in a file (e.g index.html),
74 drop it into a folder accessible with an ordinary web-server (e.g
75 Apache) and load it in your web browser. Just like that, you have
76 working metasearching.
81 If you know any HTML, the structure of the file will be familar to
82 you: the `<html>` element at the top level contains a `<head>` and a
83 `<body>`. In addition to whatever else you might want to put on your
84 page, you can add MKWS elements.
86 These fall into two categories. First, the prerequisites in the HTML
87 header, which are loaded from the tool site `mkws.indexdata.com`:
90 contains all the JavaScript needed by the widget-set.
93 provides the default CSS styling
95 Second, within the HTML body, `<div>` elements with special IDs that
96 begin `mkws` can be provided. These are filled in by the MKWS code,
97 and provide the components of the searching UI. The very simple
98 application above has only two such widgets: a search box and a
99 results area. But more are supported. The main widgets are:
101 * `mkwsSearch` -- provides the search box and button.
103 * `mkwsResults` -- provides the results area, including a list of
104 brief records (which open out into full versions when clicked),
105 paging for large results sets, facets for refining a search,
106 sorting facilities, etc.
108 * `mkwsStat` --provides a status line summarising the statistics of
111 * `mkwsSwitch` -- provides links to switch between a view of the
112 result records and of the targets that provide them. Only
113 meaningful when `mkwsTargets` is also provided.
115 * `mkwsTargets` -- the area where per-target information will appear
116 when selected by the link in the `mkwsSwitch` area. Of interest
117 mostly for fault diagnosis rather than for end-users.
119 * `mkwsLang` -- provides links to switch between one of several
120 different UI languages. By default, English, Danish and German are
123 To see all of these working together, just put them all into the HTML
126 <div id="mkwsSwitch"></div>
127 <div id="mkwsLang"></div>
128 <div id="mkwsSearch"></div>
129 <div id="mkwsResults"></div>
130 <div id="mkwsTargets"></div>
131 <div id="mkwsStat"></div>
133 The full set of supported widgets is described in the
134 reference guide below.
140 Many aspects of the behaviour of MKWS can be modified by setting
141 parameters into the `mkws_config` object. So the HTML header looks
144 <script type="text/javascript">
147 sort_default: "title",
151 <script type="text/javascript" src="http://mkws.indexdata.com/mkws-complete.js"></script>
153 This configuration sets the UI language to Danish (rather than the
154 default of English), initially sorts search results by title rather
155 than relevance (though as always this can be changed in the UI) and
156 makes the search box a bit wider than the default.
158 The full set of supported configuration items is described in the
159 reference guide below.
162 Control over HTML and CSS
163 =========================
165 More sophisticated applications will not simply place the `<div>`s
166 together, but position them carefully within an existing page
167 framework -- such as a Drupal template, an OPAC or a SharePoint page.
169 While it's convenient for simple applications to use a monolithic
170 `mkwsResults` area which contains record, facets, sorting options,
171 etc., customised layouts may wish to treat each of these components
172 separately. In this case, `mkwsResults` can be omitted, and the
173 following lower-level widgets provided instead:
175 * `mkwsTermlists` -- provides the facets
177 * `mkwsRanking` -- provides the options for how records are sorted and
178 how many are included on each page of results.
180 * `mkwsPager` -- provides the links for navigating back and forth
181 through the pages of records.
183 * `mkwsNavi` -- when a search result has been narrowed by one or more
184 facets, this area shows the names of those facets, and allows the
185 selected values to be clicked in order to remove them.
187 * `mkwsRecords` -- lists the actual result records.
189 Customisation of MKWS searching widgets can also be achieved by
190 overriding the styles set in the toolkit's CSS stylesheet. The default
191 styles can be inspected in [mkws.css](mkws.css)
192 and overridden in any
193 styles that appears later in the HTML than that file. At the simplest
194 level, this might just mean changing fonts, sizes and colours, but
195 more fundamental changes are also possible.
197 To properly apply styles, it's necessary to understand how the HTML is
198 structured, e.g. which elements are nested within which
199 containers. The structures used by the widget-set are described in the
200 reference guide below.
203 Customised display using Handlebars templates
204 =============================================
206 A lot can be done by styling widgets in CSS and changing basic MKWS config
207 options. For further customisation, MKWS allows you to change the markup it
208 outputs for any widget. This is done by overriding the
209 [Handlebars](http://handlebarsjs.com/) template used to generate it. In general
210 these consist of `{{things in double braces}}` that are replaced by values from
211 the system. For details of Handlebars template syntax, see [the online
212 documentation](http://handlebarsjs.com/).
214 The templates used by the core widgets can be viewed in [our git
215 repository](http://git.indexdata.com/?p=mkws.git;a=tree;f=src/mkws.templates;).
216 Parameters are documented in a comment at the top of each template so
217 you can see what's going where. If all you want to do is add a CSS class to
218 something or change a `span` to a `div` it's easy to just copy the existing
219 template and make your edits.
224 To override the template for a widget, include it inline in the document
225 as a `<script>` tag marked with a class of `mkwsTemplate_Foo` where Foo is the
226 name of the template you want to override (typically the name of the widget).
227 Inline Handlebars templates are distinguished from Javascript via a
228 `type="text/x-handlebars-template"` attribute. For example, to override the
229 Pager template you would include this in your document:
231 <script class="mkwsTemplate_Pager" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
232 ...new Pager template
235 The Facet template has a special feature where you can override it on a
236 per-facet basis by adding a dash and the facet name as a suffix eg.
237 `Facet-Subjects` rather than `Facet`. (So `class="mkwsTemplate_Facet-Subjects"`)
239 You can also explicitly specify a different template for a particular instance
240 of a widget by providing the name of your alternative (eg. SpecialPager) as the
241 value of the `template` key in the MKWS config object for that widget:
242 for example, `<div class="mkwsPager" template="specialPager"/>`.
244 Templates for MKWS can also be
245 [precompiled](http://handlebarsjs.com/precompilation.html). If a precompiled
246 template of the same name is found in the `Handlebars.templates` object, it
247 will be used instead of the default.
249 Inspecting metadata for templating
250 ----------------------------------
252 MKWS makes requests to Service Proxy or Pazpar2 that perform the actual
253 searching. Depending on how these are configured and what is available from the
254 targets you are searching there may be more data available than what is
255 presented by the default templates. In this case, you can redefine the
256 `Record` template to include more fields in the full-record popup.
258 Handlebars offers a convenient log helper that will output the contents of a
259 variable for you to inspect. This lets you look at exactly what is being
260 returned by the back end without needing to use a Javascript debugger. For
261 example, you might prepend `{{log hits}}` to the Records template in order to
262 see what is being returned with each search result in the list. In order for
263 this to work you'll need to enable verbose output from Handlebars which is done
264 by including this line or similar:
266 <script>Handlebars.logger.level = 1;</script>
271 If you would like your template to use the built in translation functionality,
272 output locale specific text via the mkws-translate helper like so:
273 `{{{mkws-translate "a few words"}}}`.
278 Rather than use the included AJAX helpers to render record details inline,
279 here's a Records template that will link directly to the source via the address
280 provided in the metadata as the first element of `md-electronic-url`:
282 <script class="mkwsTemplate_Records" type="text/x-handlebars-template">
284 <div class="{{containerClass}}">
285 <a href="{{md-electronic-url.[0]}}">
288 {{#if md-title-remainder}}
289 <span>{{md-title-remainder}}</span>
291 {{#if md-title-responsibility}}
292 <span><i>{{md-title-responsibility}}</i></span>
298 For a more involved example where markup for multiple widgets is decorated with
299 [Bootstrap](http://getbootstrap.com/) classes and a custom Handlebars helper is
300 employed, take a look at the source of
301 [topic.html](http://example.indexdata.com/topic.html?q=water).
311 Some applications might like to open with content in the area that
312 will subsequently be filled with result-records -- a message of the
313 day, a welcome message or a help page. This can be done by placing an
314 `mkwsMOTD` division anywhere on the page. It will be moved into the
315 `mkwsResults` area and initially displayed, but will be hidden when a
322 Metasearching applications may need to appear differently on
323 small-screened mobile devices, or change their appearance when
324 screen-width changes (as when a small device is rotated). To achieve
325 this, MKWS supports responsive design which will move the termlists to
326 the bottom on narrow screens and to the sidebar on wide screens.
328 To turn on this behaviour, set the `responsive_design_width` to the desired
329 threshhold width in pixels. For example:
331 <script type="text/javascript">
333 responsive_design_width: 990
337 If individual result-related widgets are in use in place of the
338 all-in-one mkwsResults, then the redesigned application needs to
339 specify the locations where the termlists should appear in both
340 cases. In this case, wrap the wide-screen `mkwsTermlists` element in a
341 `mkwsTermlists-Container-wide` element; and provide an
342 `mkwsTermlists-Container-narrow` element in the place where the narrow-screen
343 termlists should appear.
346 Popup results with jQuery UI
347 ----------------------------
349 The [jQuery UI library](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery_UI)
350 can be used to construct MKWS applications in which the only widget
351 generally visible on the page is a search box, and the results appear
352 in a popup. The key part of such an application is this invocation of
353 the MKWS jQuery plugin:
355 <div class="mkwsSearch"></div>
356 <div class="mkwsPopup" popup_width="1024" popup_height="650" popup_modal="0" popup_autoOpen="0" popup_button="input.mkwsButton">
357 <div class="mkwsSwitch"></div>
358 <div class="mkwsLang"></div>
359 <div class="mkwsResults"></div>
360 <div class="mkwsTargets"></div>
361 <div class="mkwsStat"></div>
364 The necessary scaffolding can be seen in an example application,
365 http://example.indexdata.com/index-popup.html
368 Authentication and target configuration
369 ---------------------------------------
371 By default, MKWS configures itself to use a demonstration account on a
372 service hosted by mkws.indexdata.com. This account (username `demo`,
373 password `demo`) provides access to about a dozen free data
374 sources. Authentication onto this service is via an authentication URL
375 on the same MKWS server, so no explicit configuration is needed.
377 In order to search in a customised set of targets, including
378 subscription resources, it's necessary to create an account with
379 Index Data's hosted service proxy, and protect that account with
380 authentication tokens (to prevent unauthorised use of subscription
381 resources). For information on how to do this, see the next section.
384 MKWS Target Selection
385 =====================
387 MKWS accesses targets using the Pazpar2 metasearching engine. Although
388 Pazpar2 can be used directly, using a statically configured set of
389 targets, this usage is unusual. More often, Pazpar2 is fronted by the
390 Service Proxy (SP), which manages authentication, sessions, target
393 This document assumes the SP is used, and explains how to go about
394 making a set of targets (a "library") available, how to connect your
395 MKWS application to that library, and how to choose which of the
396 available targets to use.
399 Maintaining the library
400 -----------------------
402 The service proxy accesses sets of targets that are known as
403 "libraries". In general, each customer will have their own library,
404 though some standard libraries may be shared between many customers --
405 for example, a library containing all open-access academic journals.
406 A library can also contain other configuration information, including
407 the set of categories by which targets are classified for the library.
409 Libraries are maintained using MKAdmin (MasterKey
410 Admin). Specifically, those used by MKWS are generally maintained on
411 the "MKX Admin" installation at
412 <http://mkx-admin.indexdata.com/console/>
414 In general, Index Data will create a library for each customer, then
415 give the customer a username/password pair that they can use to enter
416 MKAdmin and administrate that library.
418 Once logged in, customers can select which targets to include (from
419 the list of several thousand that MKAdmin knows about), and make
420 customer-specific modifications -- e.g. overriding the titles of the
423 Most importantly, customers' administrators can add authentication
424 credentials that the Service Proxy will used on their behalf when
425 accessing subscription resources -- username/password pairs or proxies
426 to use for IP-based authentication. Note that **it is then crucial to
427 secure the library from use by unauthorised clients**, otherwise the
428 customer's paid subscriptions will be exploited.
430 Access to libraries is managed by creating one or more "User Access"
431 records in MKAdmin, under the tab of that name. Each of these records
432 provides a combination of credentials and other data that allow an
433 incoming MKWS client to be identified as having legitimate access to
434 the library. The authentication process, described below, works by
435 searching for a matching User Access record.
438 Authenticating your MWKS application onto the library
439 -----------------------------------------------------
441 Some MKWS applications will be content to use the default library with
442 its selection of targets. Most, though, will want to define their own
443 library providing a different range of available targets. An important
444 case is that of applications that authenticate onto subscription
445 resources by means of back-end site credentials stored in MKAdmin:
446 precautions must be taken so that such library accounts do not allow
449 Setting up such a library is a process of several stages.
451 ### Create the User Access account
453 Log in to MKAdmin to add a User Access account for your library:
455 * Go to <http://mkx-admin.indexdata.com/console/>
456 * Enter the adminstrative username/password
457 * Go to the User Access tab
458 * Create an end-user account
459 * Depending on what authentication method it be used, set the
460 User Access account's username and password, or referring URL, or
461 Service Proxy hostname, or IP-address range.
463 If your MWKS application runs at a well-known, permanent address --
464 <http://yourname.com/app.html>, say -- you can set the User Access
465 record so that this originating URL is recognised by setting it into
466 the "Referring URL" field.
468 If your application accesses the Service Proxy by a unique virtual
469 hostname -- yourname.sp-mkws.indexdata.com, say -- you can tie the use
470 of this hostname to your library by setting the User Access record's
471 "Host Name" field to name of the host where the SP is accessed. **Note
472 that this is not secure, as other applications can use this virtual
473 hostname to gain access to your library.**
475 Or if your application's users are coming from a well-known range of
476 IP-address space, you can enter the range in the "IP Ranges"
477 field. The format of this field is as follows: it can contain any
478 number of ranges, separated by commas; each range is either a single
479 IP address or two addresses separated by a hyphen; each IP address is
480 four small integers separated by periods. For example,
481 `80.229.143.255-80.229.143.255, 5.57.0.0-5.57.255.255, 127.0.0.1`.
483 Alternatively, your application can authenticate by username and
484 password credentials. This is a useful approach in several situations,
485 including when you need to specify the use of a different library from
486 usual one. To arrange for this, set the username and password as a
487 single string separated by a slash -- e.g. "mike/swordfish" -- into
488 the User Access record's Authentication field.
490 You can set multiple fields into a single User Access record; or
491 create multiple User Access records. For example, a single User Access
492 record can specify both a Referring URL a username/password pair that
493 can be used when running an application from a different URL. But if
494 multiple Referring URLs are needed, then each must be specified in its
495 own User Access record.
497 ### Tell the application to use the library
499 In the HTML of the application, tell MKWS to authenticate on to the
500 Service Proxy. When referer-based or IP-based authentication is used,
503 <script type="text/javascript">
504 var mkws_config = { service_proxy_auth:
505 "//sp-mkws.indexdata.com/service-proxy/?command=auth&action=perconfig" };
508 > TODO This should be the default setting: see **MKWS-251**.
510 And ensure that access to the MWKS application is from the correct
511 Referrer URL or IP-range.
513 ### (Optional): access by a different virtual hostname
515 When hostname-based authentication is in use, it's necessary to access
516 the Service Proxy as the correctly named virtual host. This can be
517 done by setting the `service_proxy_auth` configuration item to a
518 URL containing that hostname, such as
519 `//yourname.sp-mkws.indexdata.com/service-proxy/?command=auth&action=perconfig`
521 > TODO It should be possible to change just the hostname without
522 > needing to repeat the rest of the URL (protocol, path, query): see
525 > TODO When changing the SP authentication URL, the Pazpar2 URL should
526 > in general change along with it: see **MKWS-253**.
528 ### (Optional): embed credentials for access to the library
530 When credential-based authentication is in use (username and
531 password), it's necessary to pass these credentials into the Service
532 Proxy when establishing the session. This can most simply be done just
533 by setting the `service_proxy_auth` configuration item to a URL such as
534 `//sp-mkws.indexdata.com/service-proxy/?command=auth&action=perconfig&username=mike&password=swordfish`
536 > TODO It should be possible to add the username and password to the
537 > configuration without needing to repeat the rest of the URL: see
540 ### (Optional): conceal credentials from HTML source
542 Using a credential-based Service-Proxy authentication URL such as the
543 one above reveals the the credentials to public view -- to anyone who
544 does View Source on the MKWS application. This may be acceptable for
545 some libraries, but is intolerable for those which provide
546 authenticated access to subscription resources.
548 In these circumstances, a more elaborate approach is necessary. The
549 idea is to make a URL local to the customer that is used for
550 authentication onto the Service Proxy, hiding the credentials in a
551 local rewrite rule. Then local mechanisms can be used to limit access
552 to that local authentication URL. Here is one way to do it when
553 Apache2 is the application's web-server, which we will call
556 Step 1: add a rewriting authentication alias to the configuration:
559 RewriteRule /spauth/ http://sp-mkws.indexdata.com/service-proxy/?command=auth&action=check,login&username=U&password=PW [P]
561 Step 2: set the MKWS configuration item `service_proxy_auth` to
562 <http://yourname.com/spauth/>
564 Step 3: protect access to the local path <http://yourname.com/spauth/>
565 (e.g. using a `.htaccess` file).
568 Choosing targets from the library
569 ---------------------------------
571 MKWS applications can choose what subset of the library's targets to
572 use, by means of several alternative settings on individual widgets or
573 in the `mkws_config` structure:
575 * `targets` -- contains a Pazpar2 targets string, typically of the form
576 "pz:id=" or "pz:id~" followed by a pipe-separated list of low-level
578 At present, these IDs can take one of two forms, depending on the
579 configuration of the Service Proxy being used: they may be based on
580 ZURLs (so a typical value would be something like
581 `pz:id=josiah.brown.edu:210/innopac|lui.indexdata.com:8080/solr4/select?fq=database:4902`)
582 or they may be UDBs (so a typical value would be something like
583 `pz:id=brown|artstor`)
585 * `targetfilter` -- contains a CQL query which is used to find relevant
586 targets from the relvant library. For example,
591 * `target` -- contains a single UDB, that of the sole target to be
594 This is merely syntactic sugar for "targetfilter" with the query
597 For example, a `Records` widget can be limited to searching only in
598 targets that have been categorised as news sources by providing an
599 attribute as follows:
601 <div class="mkwsRecords" targetfilter='categories=news'/>
610 The configuration object `mkws_config` may be created before including
611 the MKWS JavaScript code to modify default behaviour. This structure
612 is a key-value lookup table, whose entries are described in the table
613 below. All entries are optional, but if specified must be given values
614 of the specified type. If ommitted, each setting takes the indicated
615 default value; long default values are in footnotes to keep the table
619 Element Type Default Description
620 -------- ----- --------- ------------
621 debug_level int 1 Level of debugging output to emit. 0 = none, 1 = messages, 2 = messages with
622 datestamps, 3 = messages with datestamps and stack-traces.
624 facets array *Note 1* Ordered list of names of facets to display. Supported facet names are
625 `xtargets`, `subject` and `author`.
627 lang string en Code of the default language to display the UI in. Supported language codes are `en` =
628 English, `de` = German, `da` = Danish, and whatever additional languages are configured
629 using `language_*` entries (see below).
631 lang_options array [] A list of the languages to offer as options. If empty (the default), then all
632 configured languages are listed.
634 language_* hash Support for any number of languages can be added by providing entries whose name is
635 `language_` followed by the code of the language. See the separate section below for
638 pazpar2_url string *Note 2* The URL used to access the metasearch middleware. This service must be configured to
639 provide search results, facets, etc. It may be either unmediated or Pazpar2 the
640 MasterKey Service Proxy, which mediates access to an underlying Pazpar2 instance. In
641 the latter case, `service_proxy_auth` must be provided.
643 perpage_default string 20 The initial value for the number of records to show on each page.
645 perpage_options array *Note 3* A list of candidate page sizes. Users can choose between these to determine how many
646 records are displayed on each page of results.
648 query_width int 50 The width of the query box, in characters.
650 responsive_design_width int If defined, then the facets display moves between two locations as the screen-width
651 varies, as described above. The specified number is the threshhold width, in pixels,
652 at which the facets move between their two locations.
654 service_proxy_auth url *Note 4* A URL which, when `use_service_proxy` is true, is fetched once at the beginning of each
655 session to authenticate the user and establish a session that encompasses a defined set
656 of targets to search in.
658 service_proxy_auth_domain domain Can be set to the domain for which `service_proxy_auth` proxies authentication, so
659 that cookies are rewritten to appear to be from this domain. In general, this is not
660 necessary, as this setting defaults to the domain of `pazpar2_url`.
662 show_lang bool true Indicates whether or not to display the language menu.
664 show_perpage bool true Indicates whether or not to display the perpage menu.
666 show_sort bool true Indicates whether or not to display the sort menu.
668 show_switch bool true Indicates whether or not to display the switch menu, for switching between showing
669 retrieved records and target information.
671 sort_default string relevance The label of the default sort criterion to use. Must be one of those in the `sort`
674 sort_options array *Note 6* List of supported sort criteria. Each element of the list is itself a two-element list:
675 the first element of each sublist is a pazpar2 sort-expression such as `data:0` and
676 the second is a human-readable label such as `newest`.
678 use_service_proxy bool true If true, then a Service Proxy is used to deliver searching services rather than raw
682 Perhaps we should get rid of the `show_lang`, `show_perpage`,
683 `show_sort` and `show_switch` configuration items, and simply display the relevant menus
684 only when their containers are provided -- e.g. an `mkwsLang` element
685 for the language menu. But for now we retain these, as an easier route
686 to lightly customise the display than my changing providing a full HTML

704 Language specification
705 ----------------------
707 Support for another UI language can be added by providing an entry in
708 the `mkws_config` object whose name is `language_` followed by the
709 name of the language: for example, `language_French` to support
710 French. Then value of this entry must be a key-value lookup table,
711 mapping the English-language strings of the UI into their equivalents
712 in the specified language. For example:
716 "Authors": "Auteurs",
717 "Subjects": "Sujets",
718 // ... and others ...
722 The following strings occurring in the UI can be translated:
738 In addition, facet names can be translated:
744 Finally, the names of fields in the full-record display can be
745 translated. These include, but may not be limited to:
755 jQuery UI popup invocation
756 --------------------------
758 The MasterKey Widget Set can be invoked in a popup window on top of the page.
760 Note that when using the `popup` layout, facilities from the jQuery UI
761 toolkit are used, so it's necessary to include both CSS and JavaScript
762 from that toolkit. The relevant lines are:
764 <script src="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.min.js"></script>
765 <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
766 href="http://code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css" />
768 <div class="mkwsSearch"></div>
769 <div class="mkwsPopup" popup_width="1024" popup_height="650" popup_modal="0" popup_autoOpen="0" popup_button="input.mkwsButton">
770 <div class="mkwsSwitch"></div>
771 <div class="mkwsLang"></div>
772 <div class="mkwsResults"></div>
773 <div class="mkwsTargets"></div>
774 <div class="mkwsStat"></div>
778 Element Type Default Description
779 -------- ----- ------- ------------
780 popup_width string 880 Width of the popup window (if used), in
783 popup_height string 760 Height of the popup window (if used), in
786 popup_button string `input.mkwsButton` (Never change this.)
788 popup_modal string 0 Modal confirmation mode. Valid values are 0 or 1
790 popup_autoOpen string 1 Open popup window on load. Valid values are 0 or 1
795 The structure of the HTML generated by the MKWS widgets
796 -------------------------------------------------------
798 In order to override the default CSS styles provided by the MasterKey Widget
799 Set, it's necessary to understand that structure of the HTML elements that are
800 generated within the widgets. This knowledge make it possible, for example,
801 to style each `<div>` with class `term` but only when it occurs inside an
802 element with ID `#mkwsTermlists`, so as to avoid inadvertently styling other
803 elements using the same class in the non-MKWS parts of the page.
805 The HTML structure is as follows. As in CSS, #ID indicates a unique identifier
806 and .CLASS indicates an instance of a class.
816 input#mkwsQuery type=text
817 input#mkwsButton type=submit
820 (no contents -- used only for masking)
841 span (for sequence number)
843 span (for other information such as author)
844 div.details (sometimes)
