PLASTIC addon for firefox

   Hi all,

   I was looking a while ago for an easy way to send data directly from the browser to VO applications. I got frustrated with the URL copy and paste, or local file save/reopen.

   So I've built a very simple addon to firefox, that allows passing URLs from the browser to running VO applications with plastic support.

   If you want to try it, it is available: https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/6783

   a few more explanations here:
http://astro.u-strasbg.fr/~derriere/PLASTIC/

   It works at least with firefox 2.x
It uses native support for XML-RPC in the browser, that I haven't found yet in firefox 3beta.

   If you have additional ideas, knowledge to extend this in IE, etc... let me know!

   I hope it'll be helpful to some of you.

Sebastien.
