Google Bookmark Sidebar

Last update on Dec 11, 2005

Creates a sidebar compatible Google Bookmarks interface

!http://hansschmucker.free.fr/google/bookmarks/screen01.png!

Short desciption: just install this script if you're using Google bookmarks ( http://www.google.com/searchhistory/lookup?q=is... ), then browse to http://www.google.com/bookmarks (don't bother if you don't have the script installed, it's just a 404 error page)

I've created a small script to build a miniature interface from the Google Bookmarks service... it's still very rough but it works.

Whenever a google.com page is visited, the script checks if it's
google.com/bookmarks (which is a 404 error page) if it is, it deletes the page and creates its own interface by including an iframe which
calls back and adds content to the top page... it works beatifully in
a regular tab...

... problem is: it was intended for the sidebar... and it doesn't
work in the sidebar... it just doesn't load.

I really read through almost the complete greasemonkey mailing list archive, but
couldn't really get any usefull info... so maybe you can help me...

The big question is: Is there a way to get a script to run in the
sidebar (maybe via a chrome url?)? I can't just use a wrapper page
because I have to work on google.com to avoid crosssite scripting
issues... the iframe has to write into the parent.

I really don't know what else to write, so I'll just post the script
and hope that somebody has an idea on how to get the page into the
sidebar: If you do, just send me a mail or post a comment.

I haven't tried this (I'm on IE at the moment), but it looks like this would actually make Google Bookmarks worth using.

Please note http://www.google.com/bookmarks no longer goes to a 404 page, so that may be what is breaking the script, if it is broken.

I don't see anything anymore (FF1.5), but only the grey background
