Using bookmarks to quickly append the query string
Category show-n-tell thursday
This week's SnTT isn't terribly complicated, just something that saves me time. Any bookmark (or favorite, if you're of the IE persuasion) that begins with "javascript:" instead of a recognized protocol ("http://", "ftp://", etc.) affects the currently open page instead of launching another. This gives you a one-click way to add any query string to the existing URL. For example:
javascript:window.location.replace(window.location.href + "&Login")
The same approach can be used in conjunction with Ben's approach to displaying debugging information:
javascript:window.location.replace(window.location.href + "&Debug=1")
