I don't compile them. I just write the JavaScript and wrap it in an anonymous function then save the code as a bookmark.

Ah, I thought it didn't work to simply paste the javascript directly into the bookmark. Don't you have to minimally URI encode it? `javascript:URI_ENCODED_CODE`

No, Firefox automatically encodes it, but it does have other gotchas because line-breaks are removed

   - You have to put `;` on each statement
   - You cannot use inline comments, // you cannot do this

j / k navigate · click thread line to collapse
