TinyURL - fix URLs to not be bold on clipboard

Removes <b> tags so you don't get bold text copying the link

When you create a link in TinyURL, you almost always want to copy it. However, if you paste it into a rich-text-capable program like most instant messaging clients or word processors, it pastes the link in bold font.

This script keeps the exact look of the page while preventing the bold font from entering your clipboard.


You can create a javascript bookmark to make TinyURL creation easier. Just paste the following link into a new bookmark your Personal Toolbar Folder for easy access:

javascript:void(window.open(%22http:\//tinyurl.com/create.php?url=%22+location.href.replace(/#/,'%23'),'','toolbar=no,location=no, directories=no, status=yes, menubar=no, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, scrollbars=no, width=700, height=450'));

I use this script for when I create TinyURL links forgetting about URL Shortener or launching it from a bookmark(let) as described in the summary above. It can't hurt to have, but URL Shortener beats its pants off, giving me what I originally wanted upon designing this script for my bookmarklet.
