Bookmarklets not Chiclets
Chatting about bookmarklets with Refresh Jacksonville - Pecha Kucha Style.
I like javascript and I like hacking; sometimes I like to hack other people’s work and I do so with bookmarklets. Bookmarklets allow you to make modifications to websites via javascript. Bookmarklets encourage the same philosophy as greasemonkey greasemonkey except you and your users don’t need to install greasemonkey to modify web sites, bookmarklets are natively supported by the browser.
I like Bookmarklets so much that I gave a talk about them at Refresh Jacksonville.
Here are some of the resources I mentioned in my talk:
- Bookmarklet Template
- flXHR for secure cross-site scripting
- Githubber
- Load jQuery from google with callback after jQuery loads
- One line function to download jQuery from google
And here’s the video of the talk:
