A bookmarklet is a small JavaScript program that can be stored as a URL within a bookmark in most popular web browsers, or within hyperlinks on a web page. Because Internet Explorer uses the term favorites instead of bookmarks, bookmarklets are also less commonly called favelets by users.
Bookmarklets can be saved and used like normal web page bookmarks. Therefore, they are simple "one-click" tools that can add substantial functionality to the browser. For example, they can:
Modify the way a web page is displayed within the browser (e.g., change the font size, background color, etc.).
Extract data from a web page (e.g., hyperlinks, images, text, etc.).
Jump directly to a search engine, with the search term(s) input either from a new dialog box, or from a selection already made on a web page.
Submit the page to a validation service.
that was according to Wikipedia. For example, you can search Google by clicking the Google searchbookmarklet by not going to Google homepage and typing your search query, You can lookup a term on Wikipedia straight off your browser and more. Following are some Bookmarklets I use with my browser, hope this might be useful for you guys also :yes: Check these out!
IE Users: Download this zip file (http://www.elakiri.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=960&stc=1&d=1168497287) and Extract these files to C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Favorites\Links folder, then you'll get these shortcuts on dropdown menu named links of IE OR else from menu Favorites, Links submenu or simply open this webpage (http://xtoned.com/Bookmarklets.html) and add links on that page to your favorites.
