Bookmarklets
are small pieces of Javascript Code that are in the form of a link. They reside in your "Links" folder
that is within your "Favorites" folder. While viewing this very page in Internet Explorer hit the "Favorites" tool bar button and then open the "Link" folder in Internet Explorer. Click and drag a given bookmarklet to the "Links" folder where you release it. The browser will ask you if you're willing to store this potentially dangerous code in the folder [Respond affirmatively]. Now expand the "Links"
tab so it can be seen on your browser toolbar area.
The bookmarklet is now available for use. Sometimes, the function performed is related to the current web
page. With the Explorer Browser open, you click on a bookmarklet link and it performs the stored
function. Listed below are some utilitarian examples for Internet Explorer:
