The post I wrote two years ago about using bookmarklets in Opera Mini<\/a> is one of the most popular and most linked to\u00a0 pages on this site. And why not,\u00a0 bookmarklets – which are snippets of JavaScript stored in a browser bookmark – are extremely useful and powerful.\u00a0 They work wonders to make your mobile surfing faster and easier.\u00a0 With two key presses you can subscribe to a feed in your favorite RSS reader, save a link to the current page on over a dozen bookmarking services , translate the current page to a different language, display the current page’s HTTP headers or Google Page rank and much more.<\/p>\n Opera Mini supports bookmarklets but setting them up can be difficult, particularly on phones that don’t offer copy and paste.\u00a0 But there is an easy way.\u00a0 Simply create a web page containing a link with the bookmarklet’s JavaScript in the URL’s query string.\u00a0 For example,<\/p>\n <a href=”o.yeswap.com\/?javascript:location.href=%27http:\/\/www.bloglines.com\/sub\/%27+location.href “>Add to Bloglines<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Then visit your page with Opera Mini, click\u00a0 the link, bookmark the page\u00a0 and modify the bookmark to remove the “o.yeswap.com\/?” before the JavaScript.<\/p>\n To save you the trouble of creating a web page and hosting it on a server somewhere, I’ve created o.yeswap.com<\/a>.\u00a0 It started out with just a half a dozen bookmarklets a couple of years ago but has grown quite a bit thanks to new bookmarklets submitted by readers.\u00a0 I just added four more from “Lucian”<\/p>\n With these additions o.yeswap.com now hosts 30 bookmarklets.\u00a0 With so many, I decided it was time to organize the page a bit. I’ve grouped the bookmarklets into four categories; Bookmarking<\/strong>, RSS<\/strong>, Page Info<\/strong>,\u00a0 and\u00a0 Tools <\/strong>and added top and bottom menus with links to each category.<\/p>\n I’ve also updated the\u00a0 bookmarklets page with a bit of PHP that sets the page title to the name of the bookmarklet that you clicked.\u00a0 This means that when you save them in Opera Mini, the bookmark title will be pre-populated with a descriptive name instead of just\u00a0 “Bookmarklet”.\u00a0 This should eliminate the need to edit the title.<\/p>\n Here’s how to add bookmarklets to Opera Mini.<\/p>\n To use a bookmarklet:<\/p>\n I’ve really only tested these bookmarklets\u00a0 in Opera Mini 4.2, readers tell me that they also work in recent versions of Mobile Internet Explorer, Palm Blazer and Opera Mobile.\u00a0 With Opera Mobile bookmarklets only work if you turn off the option to open bookmarks in a new window.<\/p>\n Here’s a complete list of the 30 bookmarklets on o.yeswap.com<\/p>\n Bookmarking<\/strong><\/p>\n Post to Del.icio.us<\/strong><\/em> Add the current page to del.icio.us using the standard Del.icio.us Add Bookmark form.

The best way to submit a bookmark is by leaving a commet on this post. I get a lot of submissions that don’t work so please test your bookmarklets before submitting them.\u00a0 Test in Opera Mini if possible.\u00a0 You can run Opera Mini in MicroEmulator on the desktop which will let you paste in the JavaScript.\u00a0 If setting up MicroEmulator<\/a> is to daunting, at least test in Opera 9.62 on the desktop.\u00a0 A bookmarklet that doesn’t work in desktop Opera will never work in Mini. Also keep in mind that the maximum length of an Opera Mini bookmark is 396 characters.<\/p>\n Related Posts<\/em>: The post I wrote two years ago about using bookmarklets in Opera Mini is one of the most popular and most linked to\u00a0 pages on this site.
