Hmm... looks nice, but don't have Colombian Pesos...
: Columbian Pesos are selectable from the config menu. Just check the box next to the name and it will appear in the drop down from then on. : That is a good idea! Will try to put that in the next version.
i use this widget always for all currency conversions ..... nice job ... good layout and very nice.
Is it possible to add Latvian Lats (LVL) (couldn't find it in the config dialog)? Other than that a great conversion tool! I especially like the possibility to unselect unused currencies, so I don't have to scroll through lots of useless entries. Thanks!
helpful and useful, thanks a lot!
This is a very useful widget. And Malaysia Ringgit is there too, Yay! Thank you.
Clicking convert just shows "Working" and never finishes. Error Console shows a security violation exception in line 148, column 8. This might be because of proxy settings in my company, just wanted to report it. Pity, looks good otherwise.
Not working properly anymore. Please update widget, I like using it
Updated version should be available soon which restores functionality! Sorry for the wait, guys. :|
"almost" any currency. Polish Złoty is not in the list...
"Polish Złoty is not in the list..." The Poland Zlotych is available via the config button. Find the entry for it, and click its checkbox. Then it will appear in the dropdown of selectable currencies for conversion.
Great and useful widget! I would ask for Brazilian real... but i already found in the config... very thanks!
... Shocking ! No Nigerian 'Naira'. The most populous african country excluded.How come ?
Since I use Opera 10.60 (latest stable version) in Ubuntu 10.04, this widget doesn't work properly again, it always stuck in "Working" screen everytime I try to convert. So if I want to do a conversion, I have to delete this widget's installation/settings folder (in my case: "home/user/.opera-widget-universal-currency-converter"), then it starts like a freshly installed widget (everything to default) and I can do another conversion. This widget was working properly in Opera 10.60 beta. The widget's error console reports: Uncaught exception: ReferenceError: Security violation Error thrown at line 154, column 8 in () in widget://wuid-518e2681-faba-028a-0f8c-662a7f71faba5af2/index.js: this.http.send("From=" + this.unit[0].value + "&To=" + this.unit[1].value + "&Amount=" + encodeURI(this.amount.value) + "&submit=submit"); called from line 112, column 52 in () in widget://wuid-518e2681-faba-028a-0f8c-662a7f71faba5af2/index.js: self.convert(); Hope there will be a fix. Thanks.
Very useful, when it is working. Fault as per the comment below, dated 12-07-10. When can we expect a fix.
The error is caused by a widget XHR bug introduced in Opera 10.60 and affects a great many widgets that request data from servers on the internet. This issue should be fixed with the 10.61 release of Opera. The widget works properly in the most recent RC available from the desktopteam blog: http://my.opera.com/desktopteam/blog/ Sorry for the inconvenience!
scalable
I find this very interesting. I know I can find a use for this at my home and business. You guys really make the neatest apps in the world. I really do appreciate everything.
I think i will grab the code widget and install this on my blog..this can be useful for all my readers.
Will not work properly on Opera 11.51! Will not uninstall from your OS! To uninstall use "Your Uninstaller! Pro" software for success!
