What is a bookmarklet actually?
A bookmarklet is a cross between a browser bookmark and a line of javascript code. Unlike browser plugins, a bookmarklet works in any javascript-enabled browser.
When you click a bookmarklet, instead of taking you to a bookmarked page, an action is performed on the page you’re currently viewing. A common usage for bookmarklets is to submit interesting pages to social bookmarking sites.
