Javascript In The Address Bar
(with comments)

Try this:

  1. Highlight the text below
  2. Press Ctrl+C
  3. Press Alt+D
  4. Press Ctrl+V
  5. Press Enter
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img"); DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5)+"px"; DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5)+"px"}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);

Refresh the page to get back to normal. It works with IE and Firefox, and it works for any page that has images.

    I didn't try the javascript, but the shortcut Alt-D is a great tip! It automatically selects the entire text of the address bar in your browser.

    That's really cool. I like that. Completely pointless. But cool.

    Nothing happened. Probably because I use a Mac. What's it supposed to do?

    I freaked out and hid under the desk.

    Things are better now, though.

    It worked for me in Netscape 7.2.

    Cool - For a test project.

    This looks really great at Bifurcated Rivets.

    WOW!!!!
    You know there are not many people who could tell me to do several steps like that, and I would blindly follow. But I trust J-Walk.

    Well I did until that hurricane swept the monitor and all my papers off my desk and I had to run screaming Auntie Em! Auntie Em!.

    Yup...pretty cool.

    And I, too, like the "Alt-D" tip. That'a a keeper.

    Ya' got any more like that, J-walk?

    Bleah! Stop the merry-go-round, I want to get off!

    JW is right - it does look good at BR. But there again, I have to say that don't I?

    Why not just copy the text and paste it in the address bar and go?
  16. By mmmark. Comment posted 23-Oct-2006 @10:28am:
    If you have a Mac:
    Select the text
    Command-C (Copy the text)
    Command-L (selects the text in the address box)
    Command-V (pastes the text)
    Return (or Enter)

    Scroll to the top of the web page to see what's going on.

    Pretty cool on the Wheatstalk 2005 Gallery

    Running Internet Explorer 7.0.

    It did nothing.

    What was it supposed to do?

    I pressed clrl+d, so ended up bookmarking some code, you need to make these instructions ross proof!

    Very powerfull though, cool stuff

    It did something totally different here than on another site. Here, it just made the scrollbar spazz out. On my site it swirled all the pictures around.

    NOW it's cooler than I thought!

    You can also put that code in a bookmark on the toolbar - then it becomes a 'bookmarklet'. Click it on any page and it runs. Useless but fun.

    On my Mac running Safari, hitting the Reload button made it speed up.

    Danny Kaye, that's what I thought it was doing too--but I scrolled to the top and there were pictures flying about the place.

    Works on Opera, too, but instead of Alt+D use the F8 key to highlight the address bar.

    Thanks, mmmark! I now understand. You just paste this text into the address bar. So easy! And the pictures fly around the screen!
