Has anyone had any luck using bookmarklets in Safari? It does not seem to work, not that I expect it in a pre 1.0 release.

For those of you that don't know what this is, Bookmarklets are small JavaScripts that fit in a bookmark.

Example:
Make a bookmark in Chimera (I'm sure most other browsers support this as well) edit the url to: javascript:alert("foo");

Clicking this bookmark in the Toolbar will show an alert sheet.

That is not very interesting, but this is nice:
javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void (Qr=prompt('Keywords...',''))};if(Qr)location.href ='http://www.php.net/manual-lookup.php?pattern='+escape(Qr)+'&lang=en'

This brings up a prompt with a search box for searching the PHP function reference.

There are of course many other possibilities, i.e insert todays date, insert your name and email etc.

I've seen that before. I'll have to start using them. That's pretty nice.

I tested it (in Safari) with that foo script and it worked.

Its sure does I did not bother testing it because the PHP function search script did not work. It is because Safari encodes { } (%7B; and %7D; ) , so more complicated scripts are not possible.

I was hoping for a workaround.. I can't tell you how many times I tried copying and pasting to make the %20 and %7B crap go away. Glad to know it's not me.
