Using MT 2.65.

The bookmarklet from MT is such (and does not work):

CODE

javascript:d=document;t=d.selection?d.selection.createRange().text:d.getSelection();
void(window.open('http://www.gelid.net/mt.cgi?is_bm=1&bm_show=trackback,category,
allow_comments,allow_pings,convert_breaks,excerpt,text_more,keywords&__mode=view&_type=entry&
link_title='+escape(d.title)+'&link_href='+
escape(d.location.href)+'&text='+escape(t),'_blank','scrollbars=yes,width=400,height=880,status=yes,
resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'))

In the current issue of MacWorld , they have a MT bookmarklet that does work:

CODE

javascript:t=window.getSelection();void(window.open('http://www.example.com/yourMTpath/mt.cgi?
is_bm=1&bm_show=trackback&__mode=view&_type=entry&link_title='+escape(document.title)
+'&link_href='+escape(window.location.href)+'&text='+escape(t),'_blank','width=410,height=500,
status=yes,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes'))

The problem is that this bookmarklet does not have all the features I need.

Any suggestions?

Thank you.

You might find more info to help you by checking out these search results for safari AND bookmarklet.

And which things are missing from the fix you have that you want?

Yeah I feel stupid... I can't remember what I searched for but I got the "No responses found". Would you believe I did manage to do the install myself? LOL.

Thanks Maddy.

May I suggest using ecto for your blogging needs instead of a bookmarklet?
