How do you implement javascript code in macros?
How do you format the code so k-meleon will accept it?

I'd like to see javascript implemented on bookmarks. I use Bookmark4U, which stores bookmarks on a mysql database on a remote server. To bookmark a page it uses the following code on a bookmark in the browser:

javascript:void(open('http://site.address/path/bookmark.php?userid=&url='+escape(document.location)+'&pagetitle='+escape(document.title)+'&dummy='+Math.random(),'bookmark4u','width=600,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1'));

This worked ok in Firefox, thus passing the URL and the title to the php script. But K-Meleon does nothing, so I have to cut&paste. This is not very terrible, but far from comfortable. If somebody knows some trick to make this work in K-Meleon please post.

If the JS code doesn't work when called from one of your KM bookmarks then it won't work in macros. Have you bookmarked the JS code using KM's bookmark plugin?

I've not seen any KM's bookmark plugin. I use the Netscape one, because if all of them are disabled (Netscape, IE and Opera), the bookmarks option just disappears from menu.

I don't need to import bookmarks from other browsers, so if you tell me how to enable KM bookmark plugin (it's not listed under Preferences/Plugins), I'll thank you.

KM's bookmark plugin is called Netscape Bookmark plugin. Go to its 'Edit' window and create a new bookmark. Copy the JS code into the URL field, save it and then see if it works.

Well, that's what I was trying from the beginning and it just did nothing. But playing with the options I've discovered that if the "Block popup windows" is disabled (under Preferences/Privacy), the code works as expected. It must be that "open" that gets intercepted.

I'd rather copy&paste than suffer popups, but may be this code should be allowed to work even if the block option is selected, because going to the menu and selecting a bookmark is definitely an user action, not an unsolicited one.

To get around the popup blocking, you can try using K-Meleon's opennew() macro function instead of javascript's open().

opennew("javascript:location.href='http://site.address/path/bookmark.php?userid=&url='+escape(document.location)+'&pagetitle='+escape(document.title)+'&dummy='+Math.random(),'bookmark4u','width=600,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1'");

Of course, that needs to go to macros.cfg.

Thanks for the tip rmn, you are the man!

With opennew it tries to bookmark about:blank (it seems that document.location and document.title correspond to the new page being opened), but open works just fine.

Note that the same results (opening Bookmark4U in the same layer) can be accomplished avoiding the "open" in a bookmark: javascript:location.href='http://site.address... But now that the macro is written, I'll get rid of the bookmarks plugin.

Ah, yes, should've realized that.. This one should be correct:

opennew("javascript:location.href='http://site.address/path/bookmark.php?userid=&url='+escape('".$URL."')+'&pagetitle='+escape('".$TITLE."')+'&dummy='+Math.random(),'bookmark4u','width=600,height=400,scrollbars=1,resizable=1'");

Bingo! That one works perfectly. Thanks again.
