This is a comment in JavaScript:
/* comment */
Bookmarklets, like bookmarks, also have names.
I didn't phrase it very well but I figured people would just drag and drop it in Chrome and see it for themselves.
- cxr 3y agoI'm not having trouble understanding the JS part ("a comment [at] the beginning of a bookmarklet"). It's the last part—understanding what it is that you're saying it's actually supposed to do ("will set it to the name") and what that would mean for bookmarklet usage that's giving me trouble. > I didn't phrase it very well but I figured people would just drag and drop it in Chrome and see it for themselves. I did. I spent way too long (15+ minutes) doing that, trying variations of the bookmarklet and user interactions to see if doing so would cause some observable difference and reveal some insight, and trying on different plausible (and implausible) interpretations of your comment.
- gabrielsroka 3y agoSorry about that. Which OS? It works for me on Windows. When I drag and drop this to the Chrome bookmark bar, it will create a new bookmarklet with the name "awesome" javascript:/* name: /awesome# */alert(2+2) It doesn't seem to work on Chromium on Ubuntu. I don't have a Mac to try it on, perhaps someone else can try it.
