Short Amazon Permalinks

When viewing Amazon product pages, this script will convert the title of the product to a shortened link back to the product. Handy for pasting the link to e-mails and such.

Looks like Amazon changed the markup again. Assuming one already changed "//b[@class='sans']" to "//*[@class='asinTitle']", now changing it to "//*[@id='btAsinTitle']" gets it working again.

By the way, if you're in there editing and you're a member of Amazon's affiliate program, you could also modify it to add your affiliate ID, like so:

origTitle.innerHTML = '<a href="http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/' + asin + '?tag=YOUR-ID-HERE">' + origTitleHTML + '</a>';

Of course, you don't get revenue for your own purchases, but assuming you're pasting the link to give to other people, could be handy.

Looks broken due to changes in Amazon's markup. Changing "//b[@class='sans']" to "//*[@class='asinTitle']" fixes it.

Nice script :)

I changed the rewritten url from http://amazon.com/o/ASIN/ to http://' + document.domain + '/o/ASIN/', so it works on all amazon pages.
