Over a year ago, the lovely and talented Danny O'Brien gave me a fantastic chunk of code. It was the basis for creating a del.icio.us bookmarklet that worked like this:

1. add your username
2. add a single tag
3. save it to your Safari browser bar
4. when you click it, the page you're viewing is added to your del.ici.ous bookmarks without a popup (or any other screen)

I had about 20 of these and they were wonderfully useful for blazing through a set of tabs and capturing a bunch of pages I'd want to return to later on (but didn't want to futz around with at the time of pure capture).

Important: The best thing about these was that they were "silent" ? by which I mean they just did their work without notification, interaction, or the need for any extra input. Very fast.

The code went like this (note variables [="Red"]USERNAME[/] and [="red"]TAG[/]):

javascript:var%20d%20=%20document;u%20='http://del.icio.us/USERNAME?v=2&url='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&description='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&tags=TAG';var%20r%20=%20d.createElement('img');r.setAttribute('src',u);r.setAttribute('style','display:%20none');void(d.body.insertBefore(r,%20d.body.firstChild));

At some point these bookmarklets died and I was made sad. Indicating: :(

I know next to zero about javascript so I'm not sure what happened -- guessing that at some point the del.icio.us API (or whatever) changed and these little hacks broke.

Any helpful developers with del.icio.us able to check out this code and suggest a fix that would work today?

Many thanks in advance from the Captain's Table.
