text to address bar

Is there an html or javascript way to
load text into the browser address bar?

install the PrefBar extension from <http://prefbar.mozdev.org/>. Then
go to PrefBar's "More Buttons" page at
<http://prefbar.mozdev.org/buttons.htmland import the "Text URL"
button.

When you then select a URL on a Web page expressed only as text and not
as a link (highlighting the text with your cursor), you can select the
"TXTURL" button on the PrefBar toolbar to launch a new tab with the page
at the selected URL.

If the highlighted text is NOT an actual URL, it will still appear in
the browser's address area in a new tab.

You know without PrefBar toolbar extension all you have to do is select
the test and drag to a tab or blank area beside a table to open a
"textual" url.
