urlNeXT Version 1.7

Today, I'm add a new feature for the user interface: Animated Arrow.

The animated arrow is use webkit animation css, so it should not give much load to your browser. And as I do not want to delay the browsing experience, the animation just happen on the loading progress of the next/previous page.

So if you are browsing to a very fast server/network (e.g. local network) the animation may not happen or just move half of the window. But if you browse to web that rather slow, the animation may complete from edge to edge of the window.

There is different direction on next and previous action:

  • On Next Action, the right pointing arrow will move from right to the left of the window
  • On Previous Action, the left pointing arrow will move from left to the right.

Also there may have 2 background color of the animated arrow.

  • Blue background mean the action will use link that scanned on the page.
  • Green background mean the action will use numbers in the url.


Another change, now if the page is not fully loaded, it will force scan the page when there is an action (next or previous) occurred. Previously if the page is not fully loaded, urlNeXT will not start scanning for links, and on that time if an action occurred, urlNeXT will just use numbers in the URL.
But now, it will force scan the unfinished loaded page, and if not found for links, it will just use the numbers on the URL.

urlNeXT Version 1.6

Just make a little change, so now urlNext is scan for links produces specific by Google's BlogSpot/Blogger.

But there is a caveat as
  • Older Pages is used as Next link
  • Newer Pages is used as Previous link
I was thinking to use Older as previous and Newer as next, but the browsing blog site habit by going to older blog as the next page then I decide to use the current scheme.

Let me know your comments.

urlNeXT Version 1.5.4

I'm just aware that the urlNext were broken when using with google search. Google should do something on the search result page.
So this version is just a little tweak on how scanning the link on google result page.

The bing and Yahoo result page is unchange... so only google make change for better and worst.

urlNeXT Version 1.5.3

After sometimes holding the progress due to Google Instant, I'm just thinking a little tweak to at least work with Google Instant. So here the version 1.5.3.
  • Changed for Google Instant Search, the search result in re-scan on each action and adapt to latest change.
    Known issue, the icon will not adapt automatically if you change the search term, nor click the navigation on the result page.
  • Use dynamic link URL, urlNext will use the latest url in the scanned links, so it can adapt if the page change the url on the fly.
    This also solve navigation on E-bay. E-bay navigation links, is set on the fly by it's script. Thus on prior version of urlNext, the link of previous and next link scanned as empty link. But with dynamic link url, the links are scanned and used properly by urlNext
