Oh yes, it works on my iPad (just double checked it to make sure ... I even double checked the code).

One thing - if you have that space in the code you posted (the "ht tp") then that's an error. There is no space. Maybe that's it?

P.S. And it doesn't matter if the smileys appear when you are looking at the code on the iPad or in this post. The forum (or iPad) software changes it when viewing. However, the code is still what it's supposed to be. So, although you see a smiley face, the colon and the smallcase "p" are there. Again, it's a viewing thing...

Aaaaaaaaaah ;-)
It works. Sorry people, forgive a 60 year oldie to be childish for a sacred moment.

There WAS 3 issues, the picture order was fixed by another pad owner
My trouble was the smiley and the space (ht tp).


Thank you so much !!

Hurray! Glad you got it sorted. I admit - I was getting a little worried there, for a bit.

And, thanks for coming back and telling us your problem got resolved. Always nice to hear back - especially the success stories.

Excellent list of bookmarklets, thank you!

 

[Mickey330]

Thanks, DarkRavenMoon, for the "View Page Source" script. I've added it to the first thread.

Here is an interesting one to add to the FAQ.

It finds and highlights tweet-able length sentences on a web site. Tap the highlighted sentence and you're off to tweet it, and the link to the site. Twitter sharing made easy.

Save Publishing: Tweet Everything


Edit: Does not work on all sites, this forum for instance. I've tested it on a few others sites without problems.

Here's another one, for Google+ users. Or two actually.

One will plus a site (for sites that don't have a plus button). The other will share the site link in a post.

Google+ Bookmarklet - Share on Google Plus

This may be of interest to Printerest users; which I'm not, so I can't test it.

From the Printerest site: Pinterest / Goodies

javascript:void((function(d){var%20e=d.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','//assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);d.body.appendChild(e)})(document));

Drop the attitude and READ OUR RULES. You won't get another warning.

There is nothing wrong with the content of this thread if you understand how to follow instructions. If you have a problem, ask for help courteously. OK?

This looks to be a very useful thread, full of great tips.

I'm about to try to create some bookmarklets per Marilyn's post

 

[Richard Brown]

Great, I can now scroll down pages on Safari, and create a PDF file.

Brilliant.

Thanks Marilyn

Open in Photon Browser

javascriptfunction()%7Bif(document.location.href .indexOf('http')===0)document.location.href=docume nt.location.href.replace(/%5Ehttp/,'photon');%7D)()

I am unable to get this to work for the Photon browser. In other words, I click the bookmark but nothing at all happens. No error, no activation of Photon. Nothing.

I'm using an iPad 3 with iOS 7. Could there be a problem with the new OS? I am able to use the bookmarklet for opening iCab OK, so I think I have the bookmarklet creation procedure right. Though the post shows a smiley, I do have the proper colon and open paren in the actual code.

Any ideas or thoughts of what else I might check?

Thanks for a great set of procedures!~!
