<h1>J. M. Inc. mediator bookmarklets</h1>
<p>Note: these are tested in Mozilla 1.0; at least the second one
probably won't work in Netscape 4.x or older, and I have no idea about
other browsers.</p>
<p>A bookmarklet is a little scrap of JavaScript intended to be put in
your web-browser bookmarks file; when you click on it, it executes,
with permission to do whatever it wants with the current page. Here's
one that runs the current web page through the J. M. Inc. mediator: <a
href="javascript:window.location = 'http://web.lfw.org/jminc/' +
window.location">J. M. Inc.</a></p>
<form name="wordform">And here's a bookmarklet generator; it generates
bookmarklets to your specification, running web pages through the
J. M. Inc. mediator with the specified replacement text. I find "<a
href="javascript:document.wordform.word.value='asshole';fix()">asshole</a>"
and <a href="javascript:document.wordform.word.value=' ';fix()">a
single space</a> to be amusing.
<input name="word" onchange="fix()" value="Sitaker"
/><a id="changeablelink" href="#">If this message persists, either your
browser doesn't support JavaScript or this page is broken for you.</a></form>
<p>Note that, as of this writing (2002-08-01), the underlying mediator
software doesn't do a very good job with words containing '"' (the
double-quote character), '/' (the slash character), or "#" (the hash
character).</p>
<p>Of course, the <a href="javascript:window.location = 'http://crit.org/' +
window.location;
Crit this page">CritLink</a> bookmarklet is far more useful.</p>
