Amazon Rank Update

by Kyle Hayes on April 9th, 2007

I know I haven’t done any work on AmazonRank in a while. Today, when I noticed that it was published on Flex.org and it was having some issues, I thought that I should put some work into it to get it to return results better.

The ehancements I made to this version are:

  • Improved error-catching to eliminate issues with Amazon data attributes that don’t exist for a given item
  • Added a height attribute to the item rows to eliminate the issue where titles with many words would push other items off the display in the widget
  • Background of the application is now invisible so the widget merges in seamlessly with your website.

You can download this update at RIAForge:

You can see a demo on the bottom left-hand column of this page or any other of my blog pages.
