Run javascript from url put in web browser bar?

[02simond]

Hi
I am looking for a way to call a javascript from the url bar in the browser.
I have looked around on google a while but only found ways to make "ahref" run javascript. How do you run it from the browser bar?
Thanks in advance!

I am not sure what in the world you mean.

You want to make it a bookmarklet?

You want to just run code you paste in?

 javascript:var a = "hi"; alert(a); void(0);

I mean like this: http://webpage.com/index.html?(code that calls JavaScript that is in the index.html)

That is not possible, imagine what hackers could do if they could do that.

Well I have a similar solution when I want to load in different iframe's on a page. Is it possible to do this with div's instead?

 javascript:var a = "hi"; alert(a); void(0);

aside:
we don't need void(0).
i figured out a trick by re-reading the ecma spec.

simplify your bookmarklets and javascript: links by using an extra semi to create an empty statement; essentially the same thing as void(0)...

javascript:var a = "hi"; alert(a);;

double tested with IE8, FF3.6, O10, C4, S4.
