   Bookmarklet: 216 Standard Colors Works on Frames? - Yes
Description:
Displays the 216 "browser-safe" colors along with their hex code numbers. These are the colors that display the same under Netscape and Explorer. The page is entirely generated from within the bookmarklet (so you can use this tool offline).
Tip: If some hex codes are hard to read try choosing "Select All" from the Edit menu.

These convert between two ways of describing colors: the Red, Green, Blue system used by some graphics programs and the Hex system used for webpages. For example, the RGB values 255,153,51 convert to the Hexcolor FF9933 (and vice versa).

N4    Bookmarklet: Reformat Form Works on Frames? - No
Description:
If you receive posted forms through Netscape mail then after clicking on them they usually arrive in a somewhat illegible format, such as
   NAME=John+Smith&YEAR_OF_BIRTH=%2760&SIZE=about+half
Select that line (by dragging across it) and then the bookmarklet to reformat the form into something like this:
   NAME = John Smith
   YEAR OF BIRTH = '60
   SIZE = about half

   Bookmarklet: Edit HTML of Page Works on Frames? - Yes
Description:
This lets you edit the HTML of whichever webpage you are viewing. The source of the page appears in an editing window; you can modify the source in the editing window and rewrite the current page. Requires that Java be enabled. It can take a few seconds for the page to be read into Java. On framed pages you will get the HTML for the frameset. Hit the Back button to restore the original page. In order not to interfere with other bookmarklets on this page, you should keep this bookmarklet and test it some other page, such as Yahoo.
Note: There is a different version for Macintosh users.

Requires that Java be enabled. It can take a few seconds for the page to be read into Java. Hit the Back button to restore the original page. In order not to interfere with other bookmarklets on this page, you should keep this bookmarklet and test it some other page, such as Yahoo.

   Bookmarklet: Bookmarklets Editor Works on Frames? - Yes
Description:
A tool for creating bookmarklets. This gives more "eye room" to edit bookmarklets than you would get in an URL field and a way to check your bookmarklet on a real page. To test it, try putting javascript:alert('hello') in the textarea.
Note: Stay in the same domain you were in when you triggered this bookmarklet or you may get "access denied" errors.

N4    Bookmarklet: Bookmarklet to Function... Works on Frames? - Yes
Description:
A tool for studying bookmarklets. This reformats bookmarklets into the usual form of a function (called 'anonymous'), making it easier to see the logical structure involved. Instances of "void(null)" are replaced by "return false", and other instances of "void" are eliminated (leaving an extra set of parenthesis around the place where the void was used.) The javascript: protocol is also eliminated. To test it, point at any bookmarklet link, right click and choose "Copy Link Location", then trigger the bookmarklet and paste the code into it.
Note: This bookmarklet gives inaccurate results when used on itself!
