in thread /msg to [author] of the [node]

I mean, when you clink on the link, it will open a new '/msg node' with pre-filled details. In any case I would love to see the bookmarklet that you described.

Debating my own idea, I am not sure that dual interface to the user about the node (answer and the message) would serve the purpose. Intention was to make user specific comments about the node or ask to clarify the user's idea.

    This will get you a good portion of the way there.
    javascript:function htmlEscape(s) { s=s.replace(/&/g,'&amp; s=s.replace(/>/g,'&gt;'); s=s.replace(/</g,'&lt;'); return s; } function linkEscape(s) { s=s.replace(/&/g,'&amp;'); s=s.replace(/"/,'&quot;'); return s } h = '<a href="' + linkEscape(location.href) + '">' + htmlEscape(document.title) + '</a>'; with(window.open().document) { write(h+'<form name=f> <textarea name=a rows=5 cols=80 wrap=hard>' +htmlEscape(h)+'</textarea></form>'); close(); f.a.select(); } void 0;

    I leave it to you to grok the rest of the data out of the page in question, but here's a clue there as well:

    javascript:(function() { var a = { }, b =[], i, e, c, k, d, s = "<table border=1> <thead> <tr><th>#</th> <th>Tag</th> <th>className</th> </tr> </thead>"; for (i = 0; e = document.getElementsByTagName("*")[i]; ++i) if (c = e.className) { k = e.tagName + "." + c; a[k] = a[k] ? a[k] + 1 : 1; } for (k in a) b.push([k, a[k]]); b.sort(); for (i in b) s += "<tr><td>" + b[i][1] + "</td><td>" + b[i][0].split(".").join("</td><td>") + "</td></tr>"; s += "</table>"; d = open().document; d.write(s); d.close();} )

    Be aware of the maximum length of bookmarklets in your browser of course, and make sure to unwrap the code above onto single lines in your bookmarklet entry field. I have purposely wrapped these here to eliminate the possibility of rogue '+' signs appearing in there from PerlMonks wrapping code itself.

    Good luck..
