[OWW-Discuss] Recently visited pages

Tue Apr 1 09:41:15 EDT 2008

I just tried it. It's not working on my machine but I think it's close.

1. The drop-down list won't come when I insert the javascript in my personal
monobook.js page.
2. If I add the javascript to a page as <html><script>...</script></html>, I
get the drop-down list on that page with only one entry.

If you have any suggestions let me know.
