Um... My idea is a hack to allow bookmarklets to be stored at google bookmarks. > From what I've just read, > bookmarklets contain URLs, which don't necessarily point to Google. Bookmarklets start with "javascript:" - they do *not* point to urls. Google bookmarks only allows (as far as I know) urls. So if you save bookmarklet save a bookmark that points to a local file After you close firefox and open it again the urls are erased and replaced with about:blank The hack example... = The alert is "hidden" inside the google search = The (unwritten) greasemonkey script sees that search starts with "javascript:" and converts it to a bookmarklet ============ new idea The greasemonkey script could allow bookmarklets that point to a local file. ============ Q: Why would I want gmarks to use bookmarklets? A: It would be great if I could have all my bookmarklets available at google bookmarks. If I'm away from home - I can't access any bookmarklet. > Can you give a usage example where Firefox's functionality is > enhanced by such compatibility? Right now - I use >gt< for a google keyword torrent search possible searches gt "name_of_the_film" gt "name_of_the_film" year gt intitle:"name_of_the_film" gt intitle:"name_of_the_film" year gt intitle:"name_of_the_film" intitle:year etc. What I wish I could do - allow gmarks to have a sort of "keyword plus" search. Note I haven't written this yet for ff bookmarks. In fact - I'm not sure if it's possible to do via ff bookmarks and the address bar. If gmarks allowed bookmarklets I could type in the bookmarklet name in quick search and have the bookmarklet allow me to decide which one of those searches I wanted to do - on the fly. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "GMarks" group.
