favelets
programming February 14th, 2004i know i’m behind the curve a bit on favelets but i realized this past week all of the web work i was doing and i could have been doing a few of the things a lot easier. so i went about reorganizing my bookmarks, creating some tools, searching online for favelets to ease my web development. here are the ones i came up with. i don’t claim to have written any of these (except fixing the post to movable type to get it to work in safari). in case you don’t know what a favelet is, it’s a bit of javascript code that you can put in your bookmarks to perform some action in your web browser. for example you can select a word in a webpage and then just click the favelet and have it open a new web browser window to dictionary.com to define the word. anyhow, here are the ones that i’m found useful:
- search
- search with prompt
- tools
- check link on webpage
- check website uptime
- disable stylesheets
- resize browser 640×480 vga
- resize browser 800 x max screen height
- resize browser 800 x 600 svga
- resize browser 1024 x max screen height
- resize browser 1024 x 768 xga
- show image sizes
- show alt info
- tidy html
- validate html
- validate html in new window
- validate typed url
- validate typed url in new window
- validate css
- view http headers
- display webhost info
- babelfish - japanese to english
- babelfish - french to english
- babelfish - gernam to english
- babelfish - spanish to english
- babelfish - italian to english
- movable type
- make selected text a movable type posting — this was copied from the one that comes with movabletype to get it to work in safari. you need to change the beginning of the url in that favelet to point at your movable type installation.
just drag any of these links to your tool bar and click to use. if you have any other cool ones let me know about them, i’m always looking for cool new tools.

My very favorite favelets/bookmarklets are the ones at SquareFree - especially for use with Mozilla - I use the web development ones at least once a day.
There’s a great variety of useful options there, and you can even add a whole group of them at once to your bookmarks/favorites listing.
