Why some sites do not work with gd?

[Enchufado]

Hi, first of all I want to say I love this program, I've been using it for over 2 years and it's really useful.

Just recently I started adding pages to the dictionaries but some work and some don't. Here are 2 examples I can't get to work.

Code: Select all

http://devdocs.io/jquery/%GDWORD%

buscon.rae.es/drae/srv/search?type=3&val=%GDWORD%


Am I doing something wrong or it can't be done?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think you're doing anything wrong. I also tested those 2 links and don't work. I used to have the RAE web dictionary working and now it doesn't.
There are several reasons for this:
- Web page that relies on lot of javascript or Ajax techniques.
- Web page uses some kind of frame buster technique.
- Complex layout that doesnt report page's height correctly so it is not rendered inside GoldenDict's iframe.

I have created a ticket for a new feature that could probably address those issues:
