I’m sorry but something is wrong with posting to this website. The JavaScript I just posted is not complete in my last post. I don’t know what this website’s problem is but it is not allowing the correct script to be posted. The JavaScript I tried to include in my last post had many lines of code that I copied from my own, working, ‘Find’ Bookmarklet. What ended up in my post is not a workable code. Very strange that this site is doing this.

For anyone with an iPhone having trouble with the Find bookmarklet, you can do it this way without having to sync with your computer. First, copy the JavaScript below. Then just go to any website and save it as a Bookmark. Then go to your Bookmarks and find the Bookmark that you just saved and change it's name to Find. Then in the box below the name click the x to delete the web address. After you've deleted the address just paste in the javascript that you copied from below. Then save it. I moved my Find to the top of my Bookmarks for easy access. This should work for any JavaScript Bookmarklet that you should come across. Good luck!

javascript:void(l=%27%27);d=document.body;j=0;lrid=null;if(d.lastfind!=null&&d.lastfindrid!=null){l=d.lastfind;lrid=d.lastfindrid;}void(s=prompt(%27Find%20text:%27,l));if(s!=null&&s!=%27%27){if(s==l){j=d.lastfindindex+1;}else{b=d.innerHTML;if(lrid!=null){x=new%20RegExp(%27%3Cspan%20name=%22%27+lrid+%27%22%20id=%22%27+lrid+%27%22%20style=%22color:%20rgb(0,%200,%200);%20background-color:%20yellow;%20font-weight:%20bold;%22%3E([^%3C]%2A)%3C/span%3E%27,%20%27g%27);b=b.replace(x,%20%27$1%27);}d.lastfind=s;s=%27(%27+s+%27)%27;x=new%20RegExp(s,%27gi%27);rn=Math.floor(Math.random()%2A100);rid=%27z%27+rn;d.lastfindrid=rid;b=b.replace(x,%27%3Cspan%20name=%22%27+rid+%27%22%20id=%22%27+rid+%27%22%20style=%22color:%20rgb(0,%200,%200);%20background-color:%20yellow;%20font-weight:%20bold;%22%3E$1%3C/span%3E%27

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.

I have built an iPhone app which lets you tap on words in online articles to reveal their translation right there where you tapped. Then, these are memorized in lists which are available to consult later. Its name is iLearnWords.

Thanks! These will prove very useful. It would probably be quicker though if you just provided the java code, that way people can browse to this page on their iPhone and create the bookmarklet by copying and pasting the code into their Safari bookmarks, rather than messing around with syncing.

Thanks again though - I don't mean to sound unappreciative :O)

I’m also having no luck with the find text. The others are working, but not the find script. :( I tried resetting and even force quitting Safari. No luck

The code block above got a bit mangled in the posting. The code below should work: :s

Is there any way I can just do the “Find this Page” straight from my iPhone without having to sync it?
