Rot13 Bookmarklet

[+as77]

I wrote a bookmarklet that decodes ROT13-encoded text. Select the text in the browser and click on the bookmarklet, a window pops up showing the decoded text. Text in brackets will not be decoded.

 

See this page for more info and the bookmarklet itself.

 

If you find it useful, send your registration fee to... nah, I'm just kidding.

 

Ah, it works in Internet Explorer. Didn't try it with other browsers but chances are it doesn't work with any other browser.

Very handy as77 - thanks!

[+Tervas]

Impressive

(And yes, it does not work with Netscape)

[+ZackJones]

Very slick, thanks for sharing it.

One thing that Prime Suspect brought up about the ROT13 bookmarklet is whether it respects the bracketed text (and doesn't *encode* it)...haven't tested your bookmarklet, but if it doesn't, do you think it'd be possible to add it (so I don't have to)?

Well, read my opening post again

That's not a bookmarklet.

 

BTW if people want, I can try to add support for other browsers. But most people use IE anyway.

Only those who haven't tried firefox.

[+as77]

OK, I have a working version for Firefox now. I'm going to add it to the page tonight. For those who are impatient, just replace

document.selection.createRange().text

by

window.getSelection().toString()

and you get the Firefox version.

BTW I do have a popup blocker (the Google toolbar) but it doesn't block the ROT13 popup window of the bookmarklet, so that is not a problem.

[+Team yGEOh]

Thanks for the fix for Firefox.

I'm a dink. Thanks for pointing out the bracketed text feature. I tried it in IE...works great. Most pop-up blockers recognize when you specifically call for a new window due to a click and when the page contains code that requests a new window (mileage may vary depending on which blocker obviously).

[+as77]

OK, I updated the bookmarklet on my web page. It now supports both IE and Firefox, and it probably works in a number of other browsers as well. See the web page.

Just what I like simple and work very well. This also works in Apple Safari, just drag and drop to the bookmark bar before it will work. I like it and would like to mirror it on own site. (full credits to as77 of course)

[+as77]

Yes, please mirror it and enter the link here because my site isn't going to be there forever. The best solution would be to insert the bookmarklet here in the forum as a link but unfortunately the forum engine mangles the code.
