To execute bookmarklet code the bookmarklet needs to be actioned by the user. Is there any way to have a bookmarklet or indeed any javascript run automatically on page load?
Or is an Add-on the way to go?
Thanks

Well, any javascript runs automatically using onload event, if thats what you need?

I think he means running JS on an arbitrary website by setting up something in the browser, such as a bookmarklet. I'm also pretty sure that there are a few add-ins that can do this for you, but am not going to "answer" the question as I can't provide any links offhand.

Ouch, I didnt even think about that. As Nils and you yourself already pointed out, its kinda obvious (potential) security hole.

I don't think that it is possible to autorun a bookmarklet on pageload. This could be used very maliciously.
I think a plugin is the best way to go here. If only for personal use, you should check out greasemonkey for Firefox.

I would hope that people already know that it could be used maliciously, but this was *well worth* pointing out :-)

I think Opera allows you to auto inject js into a library of sites you specificy 'onload' regardless of ownership.
