What are Bookmarklets   (#what)

Something that I recently discovered (Nov 2003) is bookmarklets which I've found very interesting and useful, even though I haven't tried to code any of my own.  [also known as a favelet]

Bookmarklets are short JavaScript programs that can be run from the address bar, therefore they can be bookmarked.  Here is a simple test you can type directly into your address bar -- javascript:alert('Testing 1-2-3')

What is more interesting about bookmarklets is that you can temporarily change the appearance of a web page in your browser.  Reloading a page by hitting the Reset button (F5) does away with your temporary changes.

Some useful things that can be done with bookmarklets is restoring your ability to control the appearance of a webpage.  Perhaps one of the most useful is the ability to change the colors to black text with a white background (Zap Colors, Plain B&W).  Perhaps the web page has a background image that follows you as you page up or page down, it can be eliminated (Remove Background Image, zap style sheets).

Some really interesting things you can do are marking the borders of tables (show blocks), view a selection in a new window (view selection), highlight links, distinguish between internal and external links (int/ext links), restore context menu, even sorting a Table (sort table) -- Sort Table does not appear to be working.. 

How to use bookmarklets:   (#how)
Combining  "highlight links [-- javascript:for(nIx5Bs=0;nIx5Bs<document.all.length;nIx5Bs++){if(document.all[nIx5Bs].tagName=='A'){with(document.all[nIx5Bs].style){if(backgroundColor=='yellow'){void(backgroundColor=document.bgColor)}else{void(backgroundColor='yellow')}}}} --] (This is a bookmarklet drag it to your links toolbar)",  and "int/ext links [-- javascript:(function(){var i,x; for (i=0;x=document.links[i];++i)x.style.color=[%22blue%22,%22red%22,%22orange%22][sim(x,location)]; function sim(a,b) { if (a.hostname!=b.hostname) return 0; if (fixPath(a.pathname)!=fixPath(b.pathname) || a.search!=b.search) return 1; return 2; } function fixPath(p){ p = (p.charAt(0)==%22/%22 ? %22%22 : %22/%22) + p;/*many browsers*/ p=p.split(%22?%22)[0];/*opera*/ return p; } })() --] (This is a bookmarklet drag it to your links toolbar)"   really makes links show up.  Click on both links on the left to see the change and differentiation between internal or external links.  Your browser's Reset button (F5) will reload the original unmodified web page.  (Examples of internal link [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/ie/javascript_examples.txt --], external link [-- http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/ --]) -- if you are using Mozilla: use this highlight links [-- javascript:if(frames.length>1)alert('This \ bookmarklet does not work with frames.');else{var lnks=(document.all)?document.all.tags('A'):document.getElementsByTagName('A');for(nIx5Bs=0;nIx5Bs<lnks.length;nIx5Bs++){with(lnks[nIx5Bs].style){if(backgroundColor=='yellow'){void(backgroundColor='');void(color='')}else{void(backgroundColor='yellow');void(color='black')}}}} --] instead marked as not working within frames, then use same int/ext links. Coding highlighted material in HTML (see CSS (Cascading Style Sheets [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/excel/font.htm#css_ --] section).  Also see Paren tips [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/ie/bookmarklets.htm#paren_tips --] and HREF visible [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/ie/bookmarklets.htm#href_visible --] above. 

How to install bookmarklets:
Installation is simple, simply drag a bookmarklet from a web page with bookmarklets to your favorites, bookmark file, or your links toolbar. See the where [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/ie/bookmarklets.htm#where --] section below for links to pages with bookmarklets.

Another somewhat related web page is my page on Right Click (Context) menus in Internet Explorer [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/excel/rightie6.htm --].  It was in learning more about context menus that I ran across bookmarklets.  I hope you find both subjects as interesting as I have.

The main pages for bookmarklets that I have come across are listed in the next section [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/ie/bookmarklets.htm#where --].  You can generally test a bookmarklet on the same page you obtain it from, in any case if you want it simply drag to your favorites or links toolbar for your own use.

A typical bookmarklet allows you to view a page in a new window without frames.  Another way of viewing without frames is to hold the SHIFT key and click on a subtopic -- if there is one.

Where can I find Bookmarklets   (#where)

Bookmarklets are short pieces of Java code that can be run from the address bar of your browser, favorites, links or a folder.  Some typical things that one do is remove a background image from a web page, change the background or text color, search and highlight words and phrases, invoke a search or find an acronym based on the selected words. 

Sorry for not listing specific bookmarklets but I have little feel for who actually originated a bookmarklets and prefer to let you pick your own from these links.

Pages with annoyances (#annoyances)

You can use Accessibility options to change how you view pages: 
Tools, Internet options, General (Tab) then -- Accessibility... (button), Ignore font styles specified on web pages.  Font... (button), choose Language script font (Latin Based), Web Page font: (Arial or Times Roman), Plain text font (Courier New) or your own choices.

You can use bookmarklets to make individual pages more readable. 
Interesting how some pages seem to include annoyances similar to things they want to make better.  Examples of obnoxious or unconventional pages that you can be improved (made more readable by changing font/background colors.  These are all good pages and free of advertising, but they all have a readability problem -- if I didn't like the content at all they wouldn't be listed. 

A Politically Correct Christmas [-- http://www.lilesnet.com/Christmas/humor/pcxmas.htm --], Plain B&W worked fine to eliminate the background image, font is blue and remained blue.

Managing Bookmarks on Links Toolbar   (#manage/#links)

Folders on my machine (#folders)

Administrator (folders):  Favorites [-- c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites --], bookmarklets [-- c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites\ Bookmarklets --] and Links [-- c:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Favorites\Links --].  You will find the Links within your favorites, and I have included a " Bookmarklets" folder (with a space) in favorites as well for more permanent storage.  To rearrange items in links bar drag them, if you need to see everything at once in links bar then use favorites, then links (gray background).

Tool Bar (modified to include folders for bookmarklets)
List of items in each folder [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/ie/links_bar_tree.htm --]

To copy an item from a folder to another folder hold ALT while dragging.  To get to the Links folder:  Favorites, Organize favorites, click on a folder, the type "L" and enter until "Link" shows up then Right-click on Links.  You can move (drag) or move (Alt+drag) to copy into another folder.

Bookmarklet editors (#editors)

It is kind of hard to start right in with bookmarklets and JavaScript, so here are a couple of editors to help get you started.

Sandbox for Some A Elements (#ATag)

These bookmarklets based on Paren Tips [-- http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/sitespecific.html --] from squarefree.com, if they don't work with named anchors then please update to a more current version of Named Anchors [-- http://www.squarefree.com/bookmarklets/webdevel.html#named_anchors --]  It would be nice to get these to get all of these to work with all of the Tag Elements they can be used in, but these are sufficient for such pages as my Search [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm --] page and my Excel index [-- file:///c:/copiedsite/dmcritchie/excel/xlindex.htm --] page and some of these bookmarklets are included on those pages for ease of use.

Bookmarklet to switch browser to Mozilla from current page in IE. 
The reverse has been solved by the IE View Firefox extension.
Pick up the URL from a link and go to the modified link.
wanted to go to archive.org with the link modified for history and comparison.
