New bookmarklet: Page Weight & Speed
Thanks to Dave who responded straight away to my request to merge "Page Weight" and "Download Calculator" to yield Page Weight & Speed (IE only, drag this link to the browser Links bar.) Longer description here. Very useful, just a pity about the linked resource limitation.

It doesn’t seem to work in IE5/OSX either. I’ve tried adding it to my own page, but it doesn’t work. I also tested out the one @ gazingus, and it doesn’t work either for me.4. July 13, 2002 11:38 AM

Ah, in related news, wiremine (july 9th 2002) has linked to this web site performance analyzer, which graphs and rates:- dns lookup time
- connection latency
- server silence
- transmission speeds

I know of a fix for this in IE Mac though, looking like this:

I can explain why it doesn’t work in IE Mac–it’s using a way of including a javascript source file looking about like this (taken from memory, so it’s not quite the code it actually uses)(elm=document.createElement(‘script’)).setAttribute(‘src’,/Insert string containing url here/)
document.getElementsByTagName(‘head’)[0].appendChild(elm);
IE Mac doesn’t allow that method of adding a script element to a page, and thus never loads the script, which probably would work very well if it just was loaded.I know of a fix for this in IE Mac though, looking like this:
obj=document.createElement(‘div’);
obj.innerHTML=’<script type=“text/javascript” src=“script.js”><\/script>’;
document.body.appendChild(obj);
(Hat tips: Sylloge)
Possibly somebody (Dave?) could fix that into two different bookmarklets, depending on platform. I’m too tired to try right now.// Liorean

The problem with this approach is that it’s unreliable when it comes to future versions and quirks, but I’m sure that can be fixed somehow.

...or even a single bookmarklet with a browser detector in, if it can be managed within 600-or-so characters.The problem with this approach is that it’s unreliable when it comes to future versions and quirks, but I’m sure that can be fixed somehow.
