An upgraded version is out the door. You can download/upgrade at the usual location. Everything should be automated:

http://popupchinese.com/words/plugin

There are a couple of important changes. Most importantly, this version is a LOT friendlier to tabbed browsing. If you used multiple tabs with the last version its behavior could become inconsistent. And sometimes if the browser started with multiple tabs already open it would simply refuse to cooperate until you closed them and opened a new tab. No more. I haven't noticed any problems with turning the new version on/off and switching between tabs isn't a problem.

Also, we've got some improvements with iframe support, meaning that the popups will actually show up inside iframes.

There are still some pages in Xinhua where the position of the popup is *off* when you are mousing over some iframes. This is still bothering me, but I'll probably give it a rest for a day or two before clambering back into javascript debugging. One would think that something as simple as "give me the X, Y coordinates under the mouse please" would be a solved problem for browser developers as we steamroll towards 2009. But apparently not. If anyone is a Firefox javascript genius I'd love to hear from you.
