David, if you’re using Firefox, that could be https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=232605.

Any tips on making the shell stay on top of the current window when I click on it? It always loses focus when I launch it and the window I launched it from regains focus. Maybe just need to add window.focus() to the what’s write()en to the new window?

avih, I saw that too. The problem seems to be gone on trunk (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050527 Firefox/1.0+) so I’m not planning to track it down and try to fix it.

I think the autocompletion stopped working with firefox 1.04
whenever i try to complete i.e. “document.” (WITH the “.”) i get a red message:
[quote]EvalError: function eval must be called directly, and not by way of a function of another name.[/quote]

completeing “docu” to “document works” most other completions don’t.

cheers afor a really nice tool.

Hi,

Just wanted to say thanks for all the work you’ve put into the JS Shell Bookmarklet, it’s probably been the single most useful tool for my explorations into the inner workings of Google Maps.

Having been used to Python’s interactive prompt it’s also become useful for some of my “from scratch” web work as well.

It’s cool to see the “persist on reload” function as it’s a feature I’ve thought would be useful but probably couldn’t be done–glad to be proved wrong. :-)

Thanks again,

Phil.

Julien, search the diff for “initTarget” to see the “keep shell working when page is reloaded” part.
