Spazzle Dazzle's Bookmarklets

Check out Bookmarklets for other groovy javascript bookmarklets. The following bookmarklets are really just adaptations of their "more info" bookmarklet.

How to use

Make a bookmark on the link for any of the following marklets. I bookmark them in my Netscape toolbar (just drag and drop). I haven't tried these in IE, but I fear they may fail. Bummer.

Enjoy!

M-W bookmarklet will get the definition of a highlighted word. Or offer a dialog box for you to enter a word to be defined. It searchs at Merriam Webster

javascript:
if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  } else {
      F=''
  }
  Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' Define what word?',''))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://www.m-w.com/cgi-bin/dictionary?va='+escape(Q)))
  }

Goo bookmarklet will open a new window and run an Google search of the highlighted text, or offer a dialog box for you to enter a word to be defined.
GOOGLE ROCKS!

Javascript:
  if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  }else{
      F=''
  }
  Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' What shall I search for?',''))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://www.google.com/search?num=50q='+escape(Q)))
  }

Altavista bookmarklet will open a new window and run an Altavista search of the highlighted text, or offer a dialog box for you to enter a word to be defined.

Javascript:
  if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  }else{
      F=''
  }
  Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' What shall I search for?',''))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://www.altavista.com/query?q='+escape(Q)))
  }

Jeeves? bookmarklet will open a new window and run an Ask Jeeves search of the highlighted text, or offer a dialog box for you to enter a word to be defined.

javascript:
  if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  }else{
      F=''
  }
  Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' What shall I search for?',''))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://www.aj.com/AskJeeves.asp?ask='+escape(Q)))
  }

New bookmarklet will prompt for an url, and then open a new window containing it. Such a pain to open a new windw and then paste in the url.

javascript:
  F=document.getSelection();
  if(!F){F='http://'};
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('Url for new page?',F))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open(Q))
  }

Stock info look up. quote

javascript:
  F=document.getSelection();
  if(!F){F='^DJI'};
  void(Q=prompt('Ticker Symbols?',F));
  if(Q){
    void (window.open('http://quote.yahoo.com/q?s='+escape(Q)+'&d=b'))
  }

go2net: For bean, some crappy thing that may work to search at go2net

javascript:
  if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  }else{
      F=''
  }
  Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' What shall I search for?',''
))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://search.go2net.com/crawler?general='+escape(Q)+'&method=0&target=®ion=0&rpp=20&timeout=5&hpe=10'))
  }

xyzfind -- it rox! Use the xyzfind XML search engine for intelligent searches.

javascript: 
  if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  }else{
      F=''}Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' What shall I search for?',''))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://www.xyzfind.com/demo/keywords.x?q='+escape(Q)))
  }

rpm-xyz direct rpm find at xyzfind. This one is a bit more sketchy.

javascript: 
  if(frames.length>0){
      F=' (Open frame in new window first.)'
  }else{
      F=''}Q=document.getSelection();
  if(!Q){
      void(Q=prompt('No text selected on page.'+F+' What shall I search for?',''))
  };
  if(Q){
      void (window.open('http://www.xyzfind.com/demo/keywords.x?s=RDF&xsl=rpmfind.net/search.xsl&q='+escape(Q)+'&ns=http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-rdf-syntax#'))
  }

CACHE Check the google cache for the current url.

foo='http://www.google.com/search?q=cache:'+location.href;
dT30FfN3b=new Date();
void(window.open(
	foo,
	'w'+dT30FfN3b.getTime()
	))

toggle all checkboxes

function apply_to_all( xpath, action )
{
    mylist = document.evaluate( 
        xpath, document, null, 
        XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
    for (var i = 0; i < mylist.snapshotLength; i++) {
        action(mylist.snapshotItem(i));
    }
}
xpath = '//input[@type="checkbox"]';
toggle = function(checkbox){
    checkbox.checked=!checkbox.checked;
};
clearbox = function(checkbox){ checkbox.checked=0 }
setbox   = function(checkbox){ checkbox.checked=1 }
apply_to_all(xpath, toggle);

clear all checkboxes set all checkboxes
