Hi Eric,
Thanks for the comment. You’re not the first to have run across this problem, but the bookmarklet hasn’t really been on my radar for a while. Anyway, I updated the post with a “jQuerify noConflict” bookmarklet. The only drawback of it is that you can’t use $() for jQuery functions in the console (unless you wrap it in a self-executing anonymous function the way plugins do). I also created a separate alias for jQuery, so you can at least do $jq().

I encountered a error 'cannot modify properties of a wrappednative' on some websites using other libraries. You might want to add a jQuery.noConflict() call to the end of the bookmarklet to prevent conflicts. You can read more about my experience at the above link.

If the "Now jQuerified" box doesn't show up, it's probably because of a z-index issue. If you really to see it, you can add something like el.style.zIndex='10000;' to it right after el.style.height='30';

Well .. It doesn’t show up the “Now jQuerified” box at all.
But everything else is still doing fine…
Nice, really nice work man. Thanks a lot!

Just to confirm what Nelson sees, I see the same behavior in some cases where $$ is required for it to work–but in other cases only $ is needed. I also see the .remove() issue.

For my purposes, I have decided to build in the console to the bookmarklet. I added


     var w = prompt('statement');
     var start = new Date();
     eval(w); 
     alert("it took "+(new Date() -start));

which allows me to enter a statement and have it timed. I have been troubleshooting some javascript and trying to optimize the performance of the script. In order to do so it helps to know how long a particular statement takes to run. It could be a function call, a jquery statement or any other javascript. Thanks for the script.
