How To Use Bookmarklets

bookmarklet: How easy is it to use?

If you’re looking for a way to bookmark this page, you can find bookmarklets written in JavaScript here. These are not how the bookmarklets will show up in your browser once you’ve installed them, but they need to be seen this way in order to be added to your browser window.

Highlight the bookmarklet code you want (only the code, nothing else), copy it, and paste it into a new bookmark in your browser.

Right-click the bookmarks bar and select Add page. Name the bookmark, but in the URL area, paste the JavaScript code. Paste the bookmarklet’s JavaScript code into a text editor like Notepad or Word and save it as a file called “bookmarklet.js.”

If you’re like most people, you probably have a ton of bookmarks saved on your browser’s bookmarks bar. But if you want to keep everything organized and easy to access, it’s a good idea to create a single folder on your bookmarks bar where you store all of your bookmarklets. This way, you can easily access them whenever you need them. ..
