I created the bookmark browser helper ("Bookmarklet") below
so that I can more easily download actor/actress images on
IMDB. (Internet Movie DataBase — http://www.imdb.com/)
There are also other instances where it comes in handy on
other websites, as well.
[ no, seriously — I did it all Myself ;o) doo you BElieve Me? ]
IMDB recently (+/-) changed to a type of image "security" that
multiply embeds the image in a table as a background. There is a
small invisible .GIF image "showing" over the top of the
actual image that you will get if you use "View image" or
"Save as..." or "View background image" browser commands.
(which makes it VERY difficult to access the image to save it)
The bookmark/favorite javascript code below lists all images
on a page that are backgrounds of a table so you can easily
save them. All you have to do is create a bookmark/favorite
and paste the javascript code in the "location" section so
that the javascript is executed when you choose that
bookmark. You can name it whatever you want. I put mine on
my browser bookmark personal toolbar folder section so that
I can easily just click it when I want to use it.
Note that the JS code has to be one long line without
breaks. I have listed it below broken up into multiple
50–character segments for ease of access. This should work in
Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape, Opera and Internet Explorer browsers.
(and maybe others)
The code is also available as a link so that you can easily
access it using your browser's "Copy link location" command
(or whatever your browser calls it) for pasting into the bookmark.
I have also included an example below to show how it works.
Just click on the link. (and try to access the image otherwise)
If you like this and use it, send Me an email at
and let Me know.
