auto-extracting URL LINKS from webpage?

Something went terribly wrong with the script when I pasted it into the message, so that copy-paste from here into the URL fails miserably. The exact same script is on this web page:

It's about a third to half-way down--do a "Find" on the page for

javascript:WN7z

then copy that and paste. When I did it that way, instead of copying what I pasted in the message above, the new link worked fine. I can't tell WHAT goes wrong with the copy of the version here!

There is a way to get a complete list of all links on a web page, what to do this list to simplify what you want, well, that's up to you.

To generate a Safari page with all links:

1. Create a new Bookmark, name it Links (or whatever appeals to you)

2. Click the Safari Bookmarks icon in the Bookmarks bar so you get to the list of all your bookmarks

3. Go to the new Links bookmark and click to URL field to select it

4. Replace the URL with this:

javascript:WN7z=open('','Z6','width=400,height=200,scrollbars,resizable,menubar' );DL5e=document.links;with(WN7z.document){write('<base%20target=_blank>');for(lK i=0;lKi<DL5e.length;lKi++){write(DL5e[lKi].toString().link(DL5e[lKi])+'<br><br>' )};void(close())}

I recommend Copy and Paste!

Go to a web page, then select your Links javascript, and a new Safari window will open containing all the URLs on the page.

You create the new bookmark with the javascript replacing the original URL from any old bookmark you have and no longer need, or just create a new bookmark for any thing at all specifically for your links script. Then once you are at a page where you want the links displayed, you just select your new links bookmark. Your page will stay open, but a new window will open as well, with all the links listed. You might want to change the size of the window, the width=400 and height=200 result in a pretty small window. Anyway, I put the Links javascript bookmarklet in my Bookmarks menu, so while I am here on this page I just go to the Bookmarks menu, slide down and select Links, and a new window opens with all the links on this page listed.

PS--It would be more impressive if I had written that script, but I didn't. I found it years ago and saved it with a batch of bookmarklets that do other useful things, such as suppressing animated gifs. I just checked, and a particularly useful collection, Jesse's Bookmarklets, still exists:

If you don't mind doing one at a time, you can just click-and-hold on a link in a webpage, then drag it directly into the cell on the spreadsheet in Numbers.

This will generate an entry showing the plain-text name for the link (as shown in the webpage) which masks the real URL. It is clickable within Numbers - clicking it will open that link's webpage in Safari.

No need to copy/paste or retype.
