Links Bookmarklets
These bookmarklets provide additional information about the links on the current web page.
To use a bookmarklet, simply click the link (or, if you use Explorer, drag it to another browser window).
To save the bookmarklet, add it to your favorites/bookmarks or drag the link to your desktop. If you use Explorer or Opera you can import all the bookmarklets in one easy operation.

| List All Links Shows a list of all links found on the current page in a popup window. The popup closes after you have selected a link. The window which called the bookmarklet will navigate to the selected link. Note: Using the bookmarklet on this page may produce funny results as it can get confused by the script code in some of the links. Try using it on another page. Note: Opera will open a new browser window rather than reuse the calling window.

| List E-mail Links Shows a list of all e-mail links found on the current page in a popup window. The popup closes after you have selected a link.

| Links to New Targets links to open in a new window. Only links using http or https will be affected, so for instance popup windows still work. Useful on pages with many links you want to explore. Of course, holding down the Shift key in Explorer or the Ctrl key in Mozilla while clicking a link produces the same result, but I'm lazy - I prefer to use one hand.

| Open as URL Constructs an URL from the text you have selected on the page and opens a new browser window with the URL. The selected text doesn't have to be a valid URL - the bookmarklet will insert "http", "www", and ".com" as needed (it will make a guess the URL ends with .com unless the end of the URL is part of the selection). Leading and trailing spaces are ignored. Example: select this text - IBM - and click the bookmarklet. Note: This bookmarklet works with Netscape 4, but only when run from your bookmarks, not directly from this page. This is because NS4 deselects any selected text when you click a link.

| Find Specific URLs Highlights links where the URL contains a specific search string. Say you have a page with a hundred links, but you only want those links that lead to Microsoft. Call this bookmarklet, then specify "microsoft" in the input dialog. All links that have "microsoft" in their URL will then be highlighted. These links are probably the ones you want. Example: Run the bookmarklet on this page, then type "collection" (without quotes) in the prompt. You'll notice that a number of links are highlighted because they contain "collection" in their URL.

| Show Links Dest. A bookmarklet I made by request. It makes a tooltip pop up when you move the mouse over a link, displaying the link's target window and URL. Especially useful for full-screen browsing, where you have no status bar (although Opera 7 automatically supplies a tooltip in full-screen mode).

| Show Domains Gets the domains from all links on the page. A unique list of the domains are shown in a new window. Note: Only links using the http or https protocol are included. Note: Technically this bookmarklet works for Netscape and Opera as well, except they report too few domains (especially Opera). I don't know why exactly, it seems like a bug to me. Note: The bookmarklet could probably be more effective (and shorter) if it made use of regular expressions. Feel free to send me an improved version.

| Domains to Clipboard Same as above, except the domains are copied to the Clipboard instead of being shown in a new window. Explorer: Domains to Clipboard Last upd. 14 Aug. 2003 |
