search for: bookmarklet

I recently posted a request for a Mozilla search engine plugin for the R java search applet. Having recieved no response, I pursued this myself and came up with an alternative. I found a "bookmarklet" that was used to submit searches to Amazon. I modified the code to submit searches to the R search engine. I tested the following using Firefox 0.9 on Windows 2000. Create a bookmark called "search R doc" (or whatever) with the following text as the "location". (Not...

Hi, I've built a quick-and-dirty diff GUI for Babelmark (thanks, Michel!). You can get it as a bookmarklet here: http://attacklab.net/babelmark/ If either Michel or Tom is interested in hosting this, I'll be happy to do the grunt work for a real integration. It's kind of pain in the ass to hit the bookmarklet every time you get new data from the server. I've tested this in Safari 3.1...

Please help, Does anyone know how to override the Mongrel request URI limits built in? I know it was set at a 512 byte limit, but my application will not work with this in place. Why do I need a larger limit? I''ve written a rails application that uses a bookmarklet to send large amounts of data from site to site. The only way to do this is (and keep it cross browser compatible) is by building and sending a large URI. Is there a way to override this? Or can someone point me in the right direction to do it myself? Thanks! -Gregg

Hello, Does anyone know if it is possible for JavaScript to detect what text is currently selected by a user? I would like to allow the user to select some text and then grab that text using JS. I saw these guys do it : http://www.enlighter.com/ but I''m not sure if its possible to do this using JS only or if it needs a browser extension. Thanks! --Dave.

...mize sortable SQL queries to only the object that gained the dropped element and where it was inserted. Limiting SQL queries to about 3 or 4 for any sortable action. 2) I really also like my own modal code that I came up with (alot like Lightbox) that is also used for the page modal on the Bookmarklet. 3) I am using a lot of fragment caching and wrote some interesting helper modules (for a newbie) that the whole application shares for expiring fragments appropriately. 4) The app is hosted using Apache2.2/Mongrel 5) Take a look at the action area and its Inbox and Trashbox. This is a lar...

Hello, I wonder if somebody else is experiencing the same problem : Firefox''s Javascript console is unusable with RJS or Scriptaculous libraries. Every time I want to use it for debugging purpose (evaluating $ or $$ calls for example) I get a message stating that a script on the page must be stopped. If I stop that ''script'' (which script it is ?) the console is

I've put together two small web apps to demonstrate pandoc: 1. [html2x](http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/html2x.html) can convert most web pages to markdown, reStructuredText, DocBook, LaTeX, ConTeXt, RTF, or groff man. Bookmarklets are provided. html2x is modeled on Aaron Swartz's [html2text](http://www.aaronsw.com/2002/html2text/), but it's faster, supports multiple output formats, and behaves a bit differently (for example, it wraps text, puts all the links at the end instead of interspersing them, and uses text in...

I've written a bookmarklet, Make.text, for turning a web page into Markdown syntax. It works in Firefox 1.5 (Linux and Mac), Safari 2 (Mac), Konqueror 3.5 (Linux), and Opera 9 (Linux and Mac). It does not work in Internet Explorer (and I don?t have a Windows machine to debug it on). You can get it here: http://homepage.ma...

I noticed that some of my event handlers and scripts evaluated in ajax responses didn''t work in Konqueror (3.5.5). document.getElementsByClassName is not defined in these contexts. I can work around this, by saving document.getElementsByClassName in a (namespaced) global variable once and reassigning it before each use. Still, this misfeature is annoying and not restricted to this

...t;, and is quickly turning into markdown's best friend. second, it's based on "readability", which tosses the garbage out of webpages while keeping the crunchy text goodness, so that makes this cool and exciting. third, because brett is a nerd, the converter is also available in bookmarklet form, _and_ there is an a.p.i. interface too... a whole lotta stuff to put behind a u.r.l. bearing the f-word. so there's much look at with this first newcomer to the game. the second is interesting too, maybe even more fascinating, i'm not sure, since i haven't really played with it...

...tion lets users edit documents again later, then they won't have access to the original Markdown text. But this should be good enough for many uses -- and you can do it with just a two-line `onsubmit` function. * Add Markdown input to closed-source web apps You can write bookmarklets or userscripts to extend any standard textarea on the web so that it accepts Markdown instead of HTML. With a little more hacking, the same can probably be done with many rich edit controls. * Build new web apps from scratch A Showdown front-end can send back text in Markd...
