OT- British Standards Online Via Libraries now knobbled a bit

Aug 22, 2013 2 Replies

The online British Standards service supplied though local libraries used to permit (indirectly) the downloading of the pdf file of the standard for offline viewing and printing. Looks like the content is now being delivered via silverlight as a right mouse click pops up the word silverlight which when clicked shows a dialog box.



There is no print dialog available, nor any way to download a pdf as the menu option is greyed out.



Bastards!



Do a google for 'windows enabler'

little proggy that (re)enables buttons, menu options and dialog boxes when they have been disabled/greyed out, i use it to get the extra features of a vinyl cutting proggy that are present but locked out until you pay for an 'upgrade' the upgrade is something like 10 australian dollars, but unfortunately the bloke who wrote the software died a few years ago, and the company was folded, so no chance of ever getting the 'upgrade'

Only things is, it enables all buttons etc in any open programs when it's active, so things like buttons that are greyed out until you do something else first will work, and may f*ck things up,

This is a plugin so all the relevant buttons are within the plugin not in the browser interface
