Title: Bookmarklets
Post by: 3rik on October 10, 2011, 09:14:00 pm

Quote from: Wikipedia - Bookmarklet

A bookmarklet is Unobtrusive JavaScript stored as the URL of a bookmark in a web browser or as a hyperlink on a web page. The term is a portmanteau of the terms bookmark and applet, however, an applet is not to be confused with a bookmarklet just as JavaScript is not to be confused with Java. Whether bookmarklet utilities are stored as bookmarks or hyperlinks, they are designed to add one-click functionality to a browser or web page. When clicked, a bookmarklet performs some function, one of a wide variety such as a search query or data extraction. Usually the applet is a JavaScript program.

This is a fun one I created. Just Copy and Paste the following code into a bookmark then click to enjoy.

javascript: var hi = function() { var audio = document.createElement("embed"); audio.setAttribute("src", "http://radio.omnimaga.org/songs/Rick Astley - Never Gonna Give You Up (DJ Omnimaga Happy Hardcore Remix).mp3"); audio.setAttribute("autostart", "true"); audio.setAttribute("loop", "true"); audio.setAttribute("hidden", "true"); audio.setAttribute("volume", "100"); document.body.appendChild(audio); }; alert("TURN ON YOUR SPEAKERS AND GET READY FOR AWESOMENESS!!!"); hi();

:D

Other bookmarklets that have been mentioned include:

Note: Some browsers don't allow "javascript:" to be pasted directly into the address bar so be sure to either retype it at the beginning or just put it in a bookmark.

If anyone else finds cool new ones or makes their own, post them here. (As long as they aren't harmful. D:)

That is obviously a rickroll.

Got me. ;) Well you can use it in links to rickroll others. >:D (these don't work in BBCode links unless you have access to [html] like admins do.)

Wait, You have to be admin to use html tags? :(

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: 3rik on October 10, 2011, 10:11:13 pm

I'm pretty sure. I've never been able to use them and javascript: doesn't work in [url] because it automatically adds a "http://" to it.

In bbcode one could type [html]<a src="blahblahbla">Some misleading text</a>[/html] and have "Never Gonna Give You Up" start playing in the background when it is clicked.

Unfortunately people could do some really annoying things with that power so it is probably better that only admins have that ability.

Yep. Only managers can add HTML in their posts or else it's a security issue.

Also this is a pretty inoffensive link.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: 3rik on October 11, 2011, 01:18:18 am

Nice! If only I could quote it in my sig. :'(

Even when you hover over it to see the link, you can only see the javascript: void(0) part. :w00t:

Takes too long to load in my opinion :P

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 11, 2011, 03:03:08 am

Yeah the issue with HTML is that any member could sign up and embed malware in their sig.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: boot2490 on October 11, 2011, 11:12:35 am

What about sending html content to an admin to have it approved for a sig? That way it could be safe.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets

or lvl4 and up?

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: Yeong on October 11, 2011, 11:43:43 am

If we had to add something big like that, it's mostly like 1000+ posts XP
(Like the music section update)

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: boot2490 on October 11, 2011, 11:48:26 am

Level 5 or up?
But I think html by approval would be best.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 11, 2011, 12:56:51 pm

Given what happened with SirCmpwn 2 months ago, even lv 14 would be untrustworthy and a huge risk, not to mention that when somebody begs and insists for having HTML posting ability it already looks suspicious by itself. (no offense)

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: flyingfisch on October 11, 2011, 01:29:53 pm

sorry, I never heard about the SirCmpwn incident... ???

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: DJ Omnimaga on October 11, 2011, 02:08:05 pm

Pretty much the same thing as with Ashbad and JoeYoung (being purposely obnoxious towards other forum members and challenging authority), except that Sir was staff and he took over #omnimaga channel then deleted the entire Axe Parser download thread, and his motive was partially anti-religion-based (extremist). After his supposedly permban, he also flooded the site using two alt accounts (such as Janri) then did the same on IRC.

Afterward, there were death threats towards religious and another group of people from him in #cemetech where he got tempbanned but apparently something else happened recently that resulted in a permban. I have no clue what happened then, though, as I stopped following that much.

Holy crap...
so they were all banned?

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: BlakPilar on October 11, 2011, 04:50:18 pm

HTML in sigs permission based on level = bad. It doesn't matter what level you are, you need to be trusted. If it was just a level based thing, then anyone could come on here, post a bunch, then put some kind of malware (like DJ said) in their signature, so any page that people go to that they posted in will get infected.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: boot2490 on October 11, 2011, 06:22:20 pm

So,
That is why I am suggesting "by approval".

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: Yeong on October 11, 2011, 06:26:56 pm

but what if someone makes a malware and gives it to admin for 'approval?'

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: boot2490 on October 11, 2011, 06:31:09 pm

good point.
Then they would get banned!
but, good point.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: BlakPilar on October 11, 2011, 06:55:11 pm

But see, if you don't allow it in the first place, then you never have to worry about it :P

Except that you insist so much about it that this might permanently prevent you from ever having HTML abilities here. Also approval doesn,t work. We trusted SirCmpwn for over one and half a year as a great member and staff, then suddenly he started rebelling against us without us noticing. Heck, now the next time we add new people to the programming team they won't even get moderator powers like the current team did, as we stopped taking any chance.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets

Another cool bookmarklet:

javascript:q=""+(window.getSelection?window.getSelection():document.getSelection?document.getSelection():document.selection.createRange().text);if(!q)q=prompt("Search terms [leave selection and box blank to list all pages] ...").replace(/\s\+/g,"%252B");if(q!=null)location="http://www.google.com/search?q="+q.replace(/\s+/g,"+")+"+site:"+location.hostname;void(0);

It allows one to search sites that don't have search bars (or sites that have really bad search bars) using Google in an efficient way.

lol isn't that the point? It searches only results within that site.

But if you really want to take it out, just remove the site: in the JS.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets

a very simple one:

Browser crasher: javascript:while(true)open('about:blank')

One of my favorite bookmarklets by far is Firebug Lite (http://getfirebug.com/firebuglite). Full-featured webpage debugging no matter what browser you're on :D

I do...
What does javascript(void) or whatever mean? I see t all over the place ???

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: 3rik on October 20, 2011, 05:11:11 pm

javascript:void(0) is to prevent your browser from trying to load a new page when you click a link. It is used when you want something on the current page to happen. Juju's link on page one is an example of this. (I can't properly quote it.) It can also be useful in bookmarklets that affect the current page.

Code: [Select]

<a href="javascript: void(0)">Link to Nowhere </a>
This is basically a link that does absolutely nothing. For more information you can read this: http://www.tizag.com/javascriptT/javascriptvoid.php

It works for MobileSafari as well.

Title: Re: Bookmarklets
Post by: Deep Toaster on October 20, 2011, 07:10:26 pm

Does the bug appear in Safari as well? I've never noticed because I can never get on Omni whenever I'm on Safari (because that's when I'm in my school's filtered network :P), but I guess it makes sense if it's a WebKit problem.
