JavaScript Bookmarks
Submitted by |
Something you can do with IE's bookmarks (This may wotk with other browsers
too, haven't tried) is embed JavaScript in them. To see this in action, do
the following:
Create a new short-cut (Right-click in a folder, New -> Shortcut). This
starts a wizard.
In the location-box, enter a valid url (for instance
http://www.flipcode.com) and click next.
Name the shortcut "dictionary" and click finish.
Right-click on the newly created shortcut and select "properties".
Replace the URL with:
javascript:Qr=document.selection.createRange().text;if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('
Query...',''))};if(Qr){void(window.open('http://www.dictionary.com/search?q=
'+escape(Qr)))}
You may get a warning, which you can ignore.
Drag the shortcut onto your "Links" toolbar in IE.
Now you can select a word in the currently loaded HTML-document, click the
dictionary shortcut and you will go straight to a dictionary site with the
selected word as search parameter.
Anyone who knows some JavaScript can use this trick to do really neat things
I'd say.
