Microformats Bookmarklet now for IE
September 6th, 2007Since I am attending dConstruct this Friday, I thought it was time the Microformats Bookmarklet received an upgrade.
In particular, due to some key work by Mark McLaren and some steep learning on IE + JavaScript based CSS injection, you can now use the Microformats bookmarklet in IE6 and IE7 as you would in Safari and Firefox.
The only gripe I have is that I can't specify the filename that IE prompts for and it defaults to an HTML filename - so you need to name the file appropriately. This said, I'm am looking at alternatives to this.
I've also had a chance to address a couple of bug that have been bothering me, in particular, the bookmarklet now works in the Microformat heavy site of Jeremy Keith: Overload of Microformats, as you can see below:
Here's the bookmarklet if you don't have it already:
HI,
I tried it in my ie7, but it doesn't work. IE7 report the following error
Line:45
Char:5
Error:Object doesn't support this action
Code:0

Is that problem of security setting?
Thanks
@Qing - I'll look at this again in IE7 and get back to you (probably offline). Thanks.
@Qing - I've found the problem and fixed it. It was caused by a separate fix I made to get the bookmarklet to fit in to IE6 (after I "optimised" it - and it didn't work anymore!).
Thanks to those who took the time to let me know there was a problem. You should find it works again.
