FAQ Questions

[Randy Webb]

Just for my own curiosity, what ever happend to the Java Applet that was
referenced in the FAQ along with the HTTPRequestObje ct?
http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_34

And in http://jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_43, any chance of adding a snippet
about this bookmarklet:

javascript:'<co de><ol><li>'+(d ocument.documen tElement||docum ent.body).outer HTML.replace(/&/g,"&amp;").repl ace(/</g,"&lt;").repla ce(/%20%20/g,"&nbsp;%20"). replace(/\n/g,"<li>")+'<\/ol><\/code>';

I don't recall who wrote it, but it gives you the source of the
document, with line numbers, to make debugging in IE a lot simpler.

Don't use javascript: URIs where you can avoid it. Particularly your
example creates invalid HTML.

How else do you propose to create bookmarklets?
Duh.

The only two differences in the two is that the first one numbers the
lines, which makes it a lot easier to see where a particular line number
is. The other difference is outerHTML versus innerHTML. Does outerHTML
work in IE on the MAC?
I had to change the \n to \r to get this one line of Javascript to
work on MacOS 10.2.6 for IE 5.2.

javascript:'< code><ol><li>'+ (
document.docume ntElement||docu ment.body).oute rHTML.replace(
/&/g,"&amp;").repl ace(/</g,"&lt;").repla ce(
/%20%20/g,"&nbsp;%20"). replace(
/\r/g,"<li>")+'<\/ol><\/code>';

If you had bothered to read the entire thread, you would have noticed
that it was the creation of a bookmarklet that would number the lines in
the source code of a page.

To mark the end of a line in a text file (...), the MacOS uses a
carriage return (CR, ASCII 13), UNIX uses a line feed (LF, ASCII 10)
while Windows uses a carriage return and a line feed (CRLF).
< http://mathstat.carleton.ca/~help/ma...xplatform.html >

Perhaps, we could include both the Mac and PC line end characters in
the same one liner.

There is no need for different versions for Mac and PC. Perl Compatible
Regular Expressions, as supported by ECMAScript implementations , support
alternations:

var b = document && (document.docum entElement || document.body);
if (typeof b.outerHTML == "string")

Since the bookmarklet is for IE only, that test is not needed.
{
alert(
b.outerHTML
.replace(/&/g,"&amp;")
.replace(/</g,"&lt;")
.replace(/ /g,"&nbsp; ")
.replace(/(\r\n?|\n)/g, "<li>"));
}

That does not do what was needed. Read the thread, then try again.

What you missed is the whole topic of this thread, which is bookmarklets
and how to come up with a way to make IE easier to debug. Now, if you
can come up with a way to use that script, from the address bar, without
using a javascript URI, then you might have a case. Until then, please
STFU, RTFM, and move on.

Normal course of action:

1) Open Mouth
2) Insert Foot
3) Be notified of it
4) Remove foot
5) Thank the person who notified
6) Complain of taste

Thomas Lahn's Course of Action:

1) Open Mouth
2) Insert Foot
3) Be notified of it
4) Insist it tastes good, insert foot further

And he wonders why most think he is anally retentive. Sheesh.
