Good catch on the https issue. To avoid the problem, you can use the Google CDN URL without the protocol:

//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js

If you load this on an HTTPS page you get the warning (at least in Chrome) “Page has insecure content – do you want to load?” which is because the jquery link you are using is with HTTP. You can’t just fix that by switching it to HTTPS for SSL because jQuery does not sign their SSL cert with a certified certificate. However you can use this link instead:

https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js

That link will load the latest version of the v1 family of jQuery, so right now v 1.7.

Also note you can use this link to load the latest version of the 1.7 family:

https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7/jquery.min.js

Or this link to load the latest version of the 1.7.1:

https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js

Also works for older versions. And if your script was really tricky you could check the protocol that the current page is using and switch between using HTTPS and HTTP instead of just defaulting to HTTPS, but even HTTPS would be better than just HTTP as it would work without error for both types of pages.

Thanks for a great post, I’ve been using this one (and before that the original one) for quite a long time.

Can we have it link to the developer version, not the minified version? I want to see the full names of the parameters for functions ,comments, etc

Thanks for the report, Michelle! I just updated the href for the bookmarklet, so it should work now.

FYI, in the latest Chrome release, trying to drag the link to the bookmarklet at the top of the page into the bookmark bar will cause the browser to crash.

Reason: there’s an escaped space at the beginning of the script javascript:%20(function()...

Workaround: instead of dragging the bookmarklet, bookmark this page, then edit the bookmark and replace the page url with the bookmarklet script (but remove the errant %20 before saving).
