One-click 'silent' del.icio.us boomarking?
Merlin Also | Oct 22 2006
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:
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[/]):
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. 8 Comments

Oh yeah, fwiw, the way it works is you save the generated bookmark with a keyword. Then you type " In Safari you lose the ability to add whatever tags you want. The keyword thing doesn't work, so you have to have it as a bookmarklet on the bookmarks bar, and click it, and it posts items to system:unfiled. Everything else works. You could even alter the script to post some default tags (set $tags to something), which is I guess how your original bookmarklet worked. » POSTED IN:
