What is it?

This bookmarklet will display an Edit Blocklist with an editable list containing the current contents of the Blocklist of the Filters page.

This bookmarklet will only work when launched from a Runbox Filters page.

What does it work with?

It has been tested using Mozilla 1.5a (build 20030710), IE 5.5 (5.50.4807.2300) and Opera 7.11 (build 2887) running under Windows 2000 and Windows 98. I do not have IE 6 or Netscape but it should also work with those.

How do I install it?

The link near the top of this page called "Edit Blocklist" is the bookmarklet to launch the JavaScript applet. To save a bookmarklet, right click on the bookmarklet link and choose the item to add a bookmark (will usually say bookmarks or favorites). Or, drag the bookmarklet link to your bookmark toolbar.

How does it work?

By clicking on the "Edit Blocklist" bookmarklet, you open the "Edit Blocklist" window (a vertical 300x300 window in the upper right corner). The bookmarlet "instructs" the window to load the applet content from a javascript file. This approach allows the bookmarklet to be small in size (so it should even work with IE 6). The applet can only be launched from the Filters page of a Runbox domain (e.g. runbox.com, fast.runbox.com, runbox.no).

Due to javascript security restrictions, the javascript file can not reside on your harddrive and has to be loaded over the internet. This bookmarklet will load the following remote javascript file:

http://geocities.com/myrunbox/Blocklist.txt

This remote javascript has an extension of "txt" instead of the more common "js" extension because Yahoo! Geocities automatically inserts it's own "HTML stuff" into "htm", "html" and "js" files (maybe others too) that will mess up the javascript. It leaves "txt" files "as is" so this extension was used instead.

If you don't like loading the toolbar from Yahoo! Geocities, you can put a copy of the Blocklist.txt file on any other web site and load it from there. You just need to change the path in the "Edit Blocklist" bookmarklet to the new location of the javascript file. However, you won't always have the most current version of the toolbar.
