A shell for executing javascript in a bookmarklet !

A shell in a bookmarklet

Can you believe that? a bookmarklet is a short javascript code snippet (usually shorter than 1024 characters), that performs various tasks, and you can bookmark them = execute them by clicking on the bookmark, neat huh? For example if you are a member of the social bookmarking site Delicious, there is a bookmarklet that let you bookmark a site without copy pasting a url into the form, all you need to do is click on the bookmarklet, it’s (almost) done !

With the bookmarklet that I am talking, you have a console like a Unix shell, type you javascript command or script, press enter and the code is executed. Go fetch the shell bookmarklet.

Once you are on the webpage, drag the “Shell” bookmarklet in your bookmark area, that’s all. Just clik on the bookmark to open a popup window (the console) and start playing with javascript !
