Bookmarklet in Chrome ios 7

rudyleon · March 9, 2014

I've been trying to get the bookmarklet hack to work in Chrome, and cannot. I bookmarked a page, changed URL to the JavaScript, and then tried to capture something. Selecting the bookmark just opened a new tab. Typing into the Address bar and selecting the bookmark from there did absolutely nothing.

Any thoughts on how to add items from Chrome IOS to Zotero?

you got it working under Safari in iOS?

yep. Safari works fine. (I haven't tried adding it to FF yet..)

How did you select the bookmarklet?
I haven't tested with chrome for iOS but based on http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/06/30/how-to-easily-use-bookmarklets-in-google-chrome-for-ios/ it looks like it's one of the browsers that you need to start typing into the url bar of the current page and select the bookmarklet, rather than using it from the bookmarks menu.

Thanks fcheslack, I tried that. Absolutely nothing happens -- no screen flash, no Zotero import box in the corner.... just sorrowful nothing :(
