ok, so really just javascript then

What about caching the user credentials - how would you cache this
typically?  (noting the username/password could not be tied to a
particular page/tab, so it would have to be cached at the overall
browser context if this makes sense)

Also re caching the username/password is there a way to cache it after
the browser closes&  then starts up, or would it not be possible for
this scenario?

tks

You can create a bookmark in your browser and add that code for it. Whenever
you click on that bookmarklet, it will then execute that code on the current
page and in this particular case alert a message saying 'Hi!'. It's pretty
simple, hope you understand.

Hi

I want to development some browser bookmarklets (e.g. for firefox, IE,
safari) but I'm not sure where to start.  As an example of what I'm
talking about see:

    *http://www.evernote.com/about/download/web_clipper.php
    *http://readitlaterlist.com/bookmarklets/

I'm after a way to allow a user pass a browser link (e.g. the page
they are on) through to my web application&  see the "bookmarklet"
approach a easier/more basic way to achieve this.  They would have to
type in their username/password the first time they use it for the
their authentication to the backend.

QUESTION:  How does one develop these bookmarklets?  Does JQuery have
support or supply a template for this?  Or just any other pointers on
how people do this?

Thanks


I guess you can use cookies for that, unless you're somehow not allowed to use them in bookmarklets.
