Tips on bookmarklet

January 14, 2008, 7:01 am

Gary Haran wrote stuff you should know about bookmarklet and answer the question that’s on everybody’s lips : what is the maximum number of characters that a bookmarklet can have? And the answer is… 508!

I also wrote a complete article on how to write a bookmarklet.

    This is INCORRECT.

    The max length is only 508 characters in Internet Explorer (all versions)

    In Firefox, Opera, etc. you can have a 35,000+ character bookmarklet!

    I know, cause I’ve written some 5,000+ character bookmarklets, and use them every day. ;-)

    For the record, it is actually 512 characters in IE, but 4 characters are reserved for the prefix “url:” which is how Windows defines a shortcut.
