Post to News.YC Bookmarklet (Modified for ease)

2 pointsnjsubedi0 comments

Just a minor modification on the existing bookmarklet for submitting links to News.YC

Existing bookmarklet redirects the users to the page to post the link. Instead, it would be better if a new tab is opened for the same purpose!

Edit the existing bookmark (Right Click -> Edit, usually) and replace the link with the link below, and you are all set.

Modified link (Paste this to the existing bookmarklet):

javascript:window.open("http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u=" + encodeURIComponent(document.location) + "&t=" + encodeURIComponent(document.title))

Original link for bookmarklet (written by Phil Kast for News.YC):

javascript:window.location=%22http://news.ycombinator.com/submitlink?u=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.location)+%22&t=%22+encodeURIComponent(document.title)

PS: Are there any issues with the modification?
