javascript:void(document.body.contentEditable=(do... - Paul Buchheit

WHOA! Cool! - AJ Batac

awesome! - siniradam

you just made my color blind self cry tears of joy - I can now click that to discover all of the links that some crazy color mad designer has "hidden" from me by their color choices - bear (aka Mike Taylor)

is there a bookmarklet to make hackernews look good on the iphone? - Ivan Kirigin

Add this to FriendFeed and you've got Wave :-) - Jesse Stay

Reminds me somewhat of ClutterMe http://www.clutterme.com/ - they figured out how to make a whole page in-place-editable (javascript of course) - just click anywhere and start typing: http://www.clutterme.com/pages... - Christopher Galtenberg

Nice, discover links obscured by CSS - Orlando Pozo

Cute trick. Not being familiar with java script (at all) what is the void%200 statement there for? - Eric Borisch

Without the void 0, the browser will navigate to a page showing the result of the computation. - Paul Buchheit

Not grasping the %200, though - Rahsheen

But that's not the case when I just execute it in the (safari) address bar. I take it that's expected? - Eric Borisch

%20 is a space. I'm not sure about safari -- I use ff. - Paul Buchheit

Cool. This + FB + malcontents + screenshots = ??? - Eric Borisch

What is this supposed to do again ?-- it does nothing that I can discern in IE, FF or Chrome (on Vista). - Brian Sullivan

OK I see what it does on FF. - Brian Sullivan

But only in FireFox presumably? - Brian Sullivan

It works on IE - AJ Batac

So it does -- first time I tried IE8 crashed. - Brian Sullivan

Works in Chrome, too - Jan Ole Peek

It doesn't seem to work in 4.0.223.11 - Brian Sullivan

I'm still on Chrome 3.0.195.27 but it says no update detected... this is in Win7. Pretty sure my OSX Chrome is 4.0.223.11 though. - Jan Ole Peek

4.0.223.11 is the latest in the dev stream. - Brian Sullivan

Works on Chrome Mac version here. I added the script as a new bookmark in the menu. - Jesper Lind

Try this instead to avoid the %20 weirdness: javascript:void(document.body.contentEditable=(document.body.contentEditable!='true')) - Matt M (inactive)

Doesn't seem to work either -- maybe a bug in the dev version? - Brian Sullivan

World's coolest bookmarklet, especially those who are creating demo apps. - Mike Reynolds

Wow, this is awesome (works perfectly for me in Firefox 3.5). Simple Bookmarklet code that makes Web pages "editable". Now if only there were save + back buttons or something = Instant Wiki. - Alex Schleber

this is the fundamental line of every wysiwyg editor you use. for IE use allowEdit - Tzury Bar Yochay

Clicking it a second time makes it un-editable (and therefore it should respond to events and such). - Paul Buchheit

So how do you discover 'hidden' links.? - Franc, a rememberer

Cool, worked for me (the box is Windows Chrome 3.0.195.27) - ЕП

Figured how to make it but what's it good for - pretending to rip other people's stuff to sh*t? - Michael Slattery

Michael - I'm thinking about possible use as a minor webdesign tool. Of course other tools are more powerful, but this is a nice simple one. - Deborah Fitchett

Ok, I finally get it - Michael Slattery

this is the worlds best website - Grant Rhoades
