Subject: favelet for looking up a passage on BibleGateway

I just figured it out (i.e. a "favelet" that will look up a selected
passage in a new browser window). For those of you with *Internet
Explorer* and are interested:

[1] Create a new Favorite (preferably in your "link" toolbar, where it's
easy to access) and name it something like "S_NASB" (i.e. the code below
will look up the passage in the NASB by default).
[2] Go to your favorites menu, *right* click on this new Favorite, and
choose "Properties".
[3] In the "URL:" field copy and paste the code on the following line
(all one line; no line breaks) and then click OK to accept it:

javascript:Qr=document.selection.createRange().text;if(Qr)NW=open();NW.location.href='http://www.biblegateway.com/cgi-bin/bible?language=english&version=NASB&passage='+escape(Qr);void
0

[3] Now you can go to a webpage with scripture references in it (e.g.
http://tinyurl.com/22rxc), select a scripture reference (e.g. "3 John
9"), and then click on your new Favorite (i.e. a "favelet" which opens
the scripture ref in a new window).

Enjoy! Kris
