Dictionary Bookmarklet in iPhone

Here’s a little known secret: bookmarklets work on your iPhone.

But wait, what are bookmarklets?

Bookmarklets are little pieces of Javascript code that can be saved as ordinary bookmarks in your web browser. They enhance your browsing experience by giving you super-instant access to useful tools and special functionality.

There are billions of them, and below are my favorites. These work wonderfully on a computer, but they’ll add an extra boost of functionality to your iPhone.

To use, just drag the links into Safari’s Bookmarks Bar and synch them to your iPhone via iTunes. Next, bring up the Bookmarks Bar folder on your iPhone and simply tap the bookmarklet you want to use.

Functionality

1. Find in this page
This really should be built-in to the iPhone: the ability to find a word or phrase on the current page. Results are in bold and highlighted in yellow directly on page. (Now works in both Safari 2 and 3)

Find a word in iPhone Safari

Find a word in iPhone Safari, results

2. Open links in new window
Makes links appear in new windows when you tap on them. Read more here

3. Find similar sites
Gets a list of similar sites via similicio.us

4. Display all images
View all images on the current page in a new window

5. List all links
Takes all links from the current page and lists them in a new window

Reference

6. Dictionary
Look up a word on Dictionary.com

7. Thesaurus
Find synonyms for a word on Thesaurus.com

8. Wikipedia
Find an article on Wikipedia

9. Translate to English
Translates the current page to English. (Google automagically detects the language)

Out & About

10. Movie times
Get movie listings and showtimes in your zip code

11. Rotten Tomatoes
No one wants to see a rotten movie. Check the reviews before you buy your tickets

Search

12. YubNub
This is my personal favorite. It let’s you rapidly access over 10,500 search services and tools via shortcut commands. Read more here.

13. IMDB
Look up your favorite movie, celebrity, or tv show

14. AllMusic
Look up your favorite music artist or band

15. Amazon
The whole world is pretty much on sale here

16. eBay
For everythign else, there’s ebay

17. Google Images
Get pics of just about anything

Thanks goes to Sean for pointing this feature out to me.

Update (July 18, 2007): Looks like a few folks are having problems with the Find in this page bookmarklet. I’ve now replaced it with an alternative version based on a bookmarklet by slayeroffice. This version will also tell you the number of results found. Please let me know how this works for you.

Update (July 19, 2007): The Find in this page bookmarklet now works in both Safari 2 and 3. It looks like it was an issue with URL encoding.

Do you have a favorite bookmarklet? Go ahead, plug it in the comments!

    Can someone write a bookmarklet that functions as a simple text macro?

    i.e. when I’m in a web form, I’d like to enter my address with one bookmarklet click. Or a sig line for forum posts.

    We don’t have copy & paste, so we need this. It should be the simplest bookmarklet imaginable, if you know Javascript.

    Anyone?

  • Kim

    gravatarJul 19, 2007
    4:22 am

    More info on that simple text macro bookmarklet to be clear — the text to be entered would be stored within the bookmarklet Javascript itself — you’d need one bookmarklet per text macro.

    Not elegant, but without cut & paste, we need all the help we can get….

  • Kim

    gravatarJul 19, 2007
    4:23 am

    Or — maybe the bookmarklet could store a number of text macros, and let you select which one to use by using some kind of menu. Now that would really be cool!

    same problem here with “Find in this page” it work if clicking on it, but doesn’t from Safari/iPhone. The box doesn’t popup, nothing happens.

    Too bad, that’s the only one I’d actually use ;)

    Thanks anyway for the tip.

    Hi, is it possible the issue is Windows or more specifically, Safari on Windows for some users?

    I’m using Safari on Windows XP on my iMac* and while I can get all the bookmarklets to work from within the webpage, as soon as I drag them up into the bookmarks bar they no longer work, except for yubnub, which gives me the old %20 in place of spaces thing. Since they don’t work as bookmarks, it makes sense they won’t work as synced bookmarks.

    Oddly, on the iPhone, when I load the page into Safari, the “Find in this page” bookmarklet does not work. The others work fine. Again, this is from within the browser. From within the bookmarks menu on the iPhone, none of them work.

    • Yes, that’s Safari for Windows.. on Windows XP.. on an iMac.. Don’t ask. :)

    If you’re having similar trouble with the Wikipedia bookmarklet, try copying and pasting this code into the ‘URL’ of your bookmark. It worked for me.

    This is from the Wikipedia bookmarklet page. :)

    Can anyone find a way to get this into the iphone without using itunes and bookmark syncing? I was thinking a good way would be to trick the iphone into thinking it was a web address in a email and when it opens a new web page I could bookmark it and edit the url to the correct javascript. So far I have not been able to get this to work.

    For the YubNub bookmarklet: There’s a YubNub command called ‘fon.’ Say you are browsing the web, and your friend wants to give you a phone number. Call up YubNub, and just type ‘fon [number goes here]’ and hit ok. A link will appear that you just click to call! You could just hit the home button and quickly switch over to the keypad, but I guess this is good if you’re a big YubNubber.

    google’s define: javascript:Qr=prompt(‘Definition%20for’,”);if(Qr)location.href=’http://www.google.com/search?q=define:’+escape(Qr)

    these will jump directly to google’s first result for the given pages, which i find a bit quicker than going through, for example, wikipedia’s search results.

    You can get bookmarks on your phone without syncing. You need to be able to publish a link on a web page. You just add something like http://google.com/ to the beginning in an href. Then Safari will let you bookmark it normally. Then you just edit the bookmark and remove http://google.com/.

    Example:

    For those wanting to put it on without syncing, I just emailed the link to my iphone taking out javascript: and putting in http://google.com/

    This makes it a link in your email. Click on the link on your phone and bookmark it. Then edit your bookmark and delete http://google.com/ and replace with javascript:

    Works great. Thanks for the idea

    If the HTML survives the post, here’s an iPhone bookmarklet that allows you to take notes on an iPhone or iPod touch. You’ll need to get it served from a web site to get the initial download. After that, press the save changes link and you have a bookmarklet. The page and content are self-replicating, so when you type in new stuff and press save changes, the resulting bookmarklet contains the new text. Thus, you can take notes as bookmarklets - great for meetings!.

    Save Changes

    window.onload=g(); function f() { var e=document.getElementById('x'); document.body.a=escape(e.value.replace(/"/g,'')); var s = ""; s = s + ''+ document.body.innerHTML + ''; document.getElementById('y').href='data:text/html,' + s; e.style.backgroundColor='yellow'; } function g() { var e=document.getElementById('x'); if (document.body.getAttribute('a') != null) e.value= document.body.getAttribute('a'); }

    On the iPhone click on the link. Bookmark the page. Go to bookmarks and tap “edit”. Find the bookmark. Tap on it so you can edit the name and URL. Name it what you want. Delete the beginning of the URL so that it starts with “javascript”.

    The page is here: <a href=”data:text/html;charset=utf-8;base64,<html><header></header><body>

    I guess the link doesn’t work. I don’t have time to find out which system they use here for urls.

    this bookmark will turn the website your currently visiting into it’s mobile version (thanks to mowser and a little tweaking of the ‘find similar pages” bookmarklet)

    javascript:location.href=’http://www.mowser.com/web?url=’+location.href

    This is incredibly useful. I just got my iPhone a few weeks ago and came across this after trying to figure out how to open links in a new window. Thank you for this wonderful list!

    Been trying to find and test the Grady Morgan Install Bookmarklet page for a couple of days now, which is difficult given that the http://iphone.gradymorgan.com site is down. It occurred to me to check archive.org, and lo, it turned up some results: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://iphone.gradymorgan.com

    I think the Wayback Machine scripts cause some issues with the bookmarklet scripts (can’t try it while at work), so I will tweak and upload to my own site in the next day or so and report back with progress.

    Hi all Here is the first bookmarklet I made in my own. Rather simple But I find it useful because I think this functionality is not Available in the Safari user interface:

    Scroll to end/bottom of a web page/document:

    javascript:(function(){self.scrollTo(0,0x7FFFFFFF)})();

    To add to the bookmarklet without syncing via Safari/IE, you can imitate the steps found at http://code.google.com/p/itransmogrify/

    Send an email to your iphone with a link in the following format:

    http://www.somebogusdomainname.com/

    Click on that link on your iphone. Bookmark it. Then edit the bookmark to remove the http://www.somebogusdomainname.com/ part

    Edit of post above (comment board sanatized part of my instructions):

    The link should be of this format:

    http://www.somebogusdomain.com/put-your-javascript-bookmarklet-here

    I was thinking a good way would be to trick the iphone into thinking it was a web address in a email and when it opens a new web page I could bookmark it and edit the url to the correct javascript. So far I have not been able to get this to work.

    Oddly, on the iPhone, when I load the page into Safari, the “Find in this page” bookmarklet does not work. The others work fine. Again, this is from within the browser. From within the bookmarks menu on the iPhone, none of them work.
