sheetUp – BookyWooky - A bookmarklet/favelet manager

BookyWooky. <-- Try clicking it now. Works best with Firefox if dragged onto the Bookmarks Toolbar.

Karl Swedberg's jQueryify gave me an idea. I wanted to extend it to allow a user to easily load up any library or tool they wanted. I've quickly tested it on IE6/7, Opera 10, Firefox 3 and Chrome/Safari.

• If you double-click the bookmarklet it will only load the default options without showing the dialog.
• The popup dialog's "BookyWooky" link generates the same bookmarklet but with the currently selected options as default.
• The question marks link to the respective documentation.
• Things already loaded are greyed out.

Modifying BookyWooky

You can customise it to use other bookmarklets.

Custom Loading Function

If the bookmarklet requres a special function to load. e.g. it might need to run an init function like Firebug does. A forth paramenter can be added to bookyMerge.

The defaults array that the custom settings gets merged into are the following, notice the Firebug init func:

var defaults = {
    Firebug:    {name: "Firebug 1.2",           
    url:        "",
    loaded:     function() {return document.getElementById("_firebugConsole") !== null || typeof firebug !== "undefined"},
    docs:       "http://getfirebug.com/docs.html",
    func:       function() {
                    document.location.href = "javascript:"+
                    "var firebug=document.createElement('script');"+
                    "firebug.setAttribute('src','http://getfirebug.com/releases/lite/1.2/firebug-lite-compressed.js');"+
                    "document.body.appendChild(firebug);"+
                    "(function(){if(window.firebug.version){firebug.init();document.getElementById('bookyDiv').innerHTML "+
                    "+= '<div class=\"bookyLoaded\">Loaded Firebug</div>';}else{setTimeout(arguments.callee);}})();"+
                    "void(firebug);";}},
