This page is an extension of Dolphin newtab, but like the newtab page it is for working with any browser.  This page should be referred to when using the newtab page for the first time with a browser.  Dolphin Browser is the only android browser that I like so far.  Despite all of the damage to many of the best Firefox features it is the only desktop browser

Dolphin Bookmarklet Tests

About Schemes  

If pasting and invoking the code within the "Hi" bookmarklet at the address bar of your browser does not work, then your browser has been screwed up by developers perhaps similar to the disasterous revisions to Firefox prohibiting invoking many bookmarklets and their keyword shortcuts from the address bar and from using resizing bookmarklets from the primary window -- I would expect that some long standing browser standards have been broken or ignored by Firefox, which really makes things difficult for users.  As several people may be aware I have lost most interest in Firefox since Fx 7.0.1 (Oct 2011) due to Bug 656433, Bug 565541 and Bug 688841#c11, along with past experiences of keyword shortcuts being severely crippled for an entire year in beta.
  javascript:alert("Hi") -- written as a bookmarklet formatted link javascript:alert("Hi voyager");
  javascript:alert(escape(location)); -- as a bookmarklet formatted link javascript:alert(escape(location));
  javascript:alert(location); -- written as a bookmarklet formatted link javascript:alert(location));

Each of these still work in Firefox: (and can be invoked using keyword shortcuts)     – PDF
paren tips HREF visible   Show Classes and IDs   Reset (F5)    ALT visible  highlight links  int/ext links  Archive Compare def: define qr: (qrcode) LT: (combined)
Android: "Show Classes and IDs" will not work on Android browsers (Dolphin, Firefox).

Installing bookmarklets into Dolphin is very tedious, since you have to create a bookmark, then you have to alter the address by pasting in JavaScript code (use WiFi keyboard entry such as facilitated with Free Android App "Remote Web Desktop"), and of course assigning a gesture in Dolphin, in place of the Firefox keyword shortcut.
Most of the above work on this web page in Dolphin, but success as Dolphin bookmarklets is another matter:

• These work if on webpage:  hi, paren tips, reset, ALT visible, highlight links, int/ext links (except in Firefox), qrcode, def
• This fails in Firefox 15.0.1 but works on Dolphin:  int/ext links (source is Link Bookmarklets at squarefree.com), actually it seems almost work on other pages with a few incorrect associations. Should see red for internal kws, blue for external IBM, orange for internal links morelinks
  Problem solved: My style #17357 (in Firefox) to override viewed links overrides the bookmarklet
• These are untested on this page, because the page is relatively new for the wayback machine: archive compare

Most if not all of these changes should be unnecessary.  There are lots of bookmarklets around and no excuse for Dolphin to break them.  Especially since they have to be written out with htmlified coding elsewhere, and htmlified coding is what you get when you copy a url.

Dolphin Gestures, and Dolphin MyGestures.  The bookmarklets above required some modifications to work in Dolphin -- Code modifications changes for Dolphin: %20 (space, or remove), %22 and " (dquote to squote sign), %3A to colon, %3C to less than sign, %3E to greater than sign.
