or a bookmarklet...

I use this as a bookmark for searching OSX listings,

javascript:void(search=prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20search%20using%20Version%20Tracker.',''));if(search)void(location.href='http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search='+escape(search))

note: all one line

I wish I could remember where I found the first one of these so I could properly credit the source, but I can't. I've made a few others on the same theme and find them very useful...

VersionTracker Classic:

javascript:void(search=prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20search%20using%20Version%20Tracker.',''));if(search)void(location.href='http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOS&search='+escape(search))

Google:

javascript:void(q=prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20search%20using%20Google.',''));if(q)void(location.href='http://www.google.com/search?client=googlet&q='+escape(q))

etc.

Here is the bookmarklet for VT OS X:

javascript:void(search=prompt('Enter%20text%20to%20search%20using%20Version%20Tracker.',''));if(search)void(location.href='http://www.versiontracker.com/mp/new_search.m?productDB=mac&mode=Quick&OS_Filter=MacOSX&search='+escape(search))

The only difference being an extra X ...

This works great in Chimera.

I assume you are not using OmniWeb. In OS 9, I had bookmarklets in FinderPop that would pop up only when I was in IE, which pleased me to no end. You haven't gotten bookmarklets to work in OmniWeb, have you? I have had no luck, presumably because of the tepid javascript support.

No, sorry, I'm not. I've tried OmniWeb a few times and maybe it's just my system (G3 Pismo 400MGHZ / 320MB Ram / OSX 10.1.5) but I've found OmniWeb god-awful slow and cumbersome feeling. I'll have to stick to IE, at least til Chimera is a little more mature :)
