Bookmarklet: Horizontally invert HTML5 videos

My demands for “reverse” glasses have gone unserved, but I made a bookmarklet that provides the same effect: “flopping” a video horizontally. Install the SwitchStance bookmarklet, for which you’ll need a modern browser that supports CSS transforms on video elements. Opt-in to YouTube’s HTML5 trial Load up any video without ads (here’s one of Matt

We need a frontend design tool for live web pages

It’s quite frequently that an HTML/CSS designer might want to make changes to a live web page.

Hacking a 3rd party script for bookmarklet fun

A few weeks ago I created a simple bookmarklet that loads del.icio.us’s PlayTagger script into the current page. This post covers how some problems with this script were worked through. Too late The first challenge was that PlayTagger was designed to initialize itself (let’s call this method “init“) on window.onload: If a user fired the

Reload CSS Every… Bookmarklet

One annoying aspect of writing a stylesheet is having to reload the page in your browser to see your incremental changes. There are ways to workaround this, but I find them less than ideal so I created ReloadCSSEvery. It refreshes only the CSS of a loaded page every 2 seconds so you can use your

PHP for Easy Bookmarklet Testing and Distribution

Bookmarklet authors have it tough. On top of the usual challenges of cross-browser Javascript testing, we’ve traditionally also had to workaround IE’s character limit and jump through hoops to embed code inside of javascript: links. Bookmarklet Server (source) eases testing and deployment by allowing you to keep code where it should be—in .js files. A

Bookmarklet manager bookmarklet?

In the redundancy file. Someone needs to create a bookmarklet that loads into the current page an interface for executing pre-saved bookmarklets. I’ve already seen several examples of this with pre-defined sets of bookmarklets (notably Favelet Suite) but why limit the user to one set? I’m already keeping my regular bookmarks and RSS subscriptions online,

This bookmarklet opens the MySpace music player in a new window (Updated 2007-3-29, tested only in Opera9). Open MySpace Player ←right-click, add to bookmarks/favorites, rename it whatever you like (tested in Opera8, Firefox).
