Chrome Bookmarklets
Bookmarklets are an easy way to create Interactive Bookmarks. You can do something with the page that you're currently viewing or enter in data to be used on soon to be open URL.
Here are some of my popular Bookmarklets:
PaperTrial Search
Search the entire Papertrial archive for an error. (Works only if you have a Papertrial account.)
javascript:var prof=prompt('Query?','');if(prof&&prof!=''){location.href='https://papertrailapp.com/groups/2442/events?q='+prof};
Atlassian Jira Issue Search
Search Jira for a particular Ticket Number. This is a fast way to get to a particular ticket.
javascript:var%20bug=prompt('Ticket#?','');if(isFinite(bug)){location.href='https://dev.company.com/trac/ticket/'%20+%20bug}else{location.href='http://company.atlassian.net/browse/'+bug}; Show Link Images Opens a window showing all images linked to from the current page. javascript:(function(){function%20I(u){var%20t=u.split('.'),e=t[t.length-1].toLowerCase();return%20{gif:1,jpg:1,jpeg:1,png:1,mng:1}[e]}function%20hE(s){return%20s.replace(/&/g,'&').replace(/>/g,'>').replace(/</g,'<').replace(/"/g,'"');}var%20q,h,i,z=open().document;z.write('<p>Images%20linked%20to%20by%20'+hE(location.href)+':</p><hr>');for(i=0;q=document.links[i];++i){h=q.href;if(h&&I(h))z.write('<p>'+q.innerHTML+'%20('+hE(h)+') <img%20src="'+hE(h)+'">');}z.close();})()
Remove All Images on the Page
This is useful if you want to see what the page looks like for people that don't have images enabled.
javascript:(function(){var imgs=document.getElementsByTagName("img");for(var i=0;i<imgs.length;i++)imgs[i].style.visibility="hidden"}());
View Current Page in Any Browser
Useful way to test a public page in various browser screenshots.
