Bookmarklets are simple one-line scripts, implemented as ordinary bookmarks. You can use bookmarklets to add macros and additional features to your browser, whether it's Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. Bookmarklets are cool because:
- They work on all platforms (Windows, Macintosh, Unix)
- They are supported by all browsers (Navigator and Internet Explorer)
- They are extremely simple and easy to write
- There is no need to write cross-browser code
- They can be executed on any page
