Convenient addition to IE when writing reviews
Hello!
Today I will talk about a small program created for my own needs. Perhaps someone may need this too. In short, this is an add-on to Internet Explorer, which allows you to get the title and address of the page in the required form with one click. If a brief summary interested you, then read on.
First, about why I needed such a utility. The fact is that sometimes I write a review of some online service on my blog or for the People's Tips directory. Internet
How does the review process usually take place? Usually I write the text of an html document in a standard Notepad or in the blog text field with pens. The necessary page opens in a separate tab, then the address of the page is copied and pasted into a text editor, the necessary <a href="" </a> tags are written. Then you need to go back to the page you are viewing and remember the title of the pages you need to print yourself.
Agree, this is not very convenient, especially if you do it all the time. I have long had a desire to write something convenient, but somehow did not reach out. And here, I stumbled upon the site http://www.billsway.com/notes_public/IE_Context_Menu/ . Website author Bill James wrote his own addition to IE. In its implementation, the addition works as follows: when you click the mouse, two lines are copied to the clipboard - the first line gets the page title, and the second page’s address itself. Please note that when you click a window appears with a reminder that the text you want is copied to the clipboard. If desired, this window can be turned off by changing the value in one parameter of the script.
It was almost what I needed. Having adopted the idea of the script, I wrote my revised version. I want to consider in more detail the differences between my script and the original version.
In Bill James, the add-on installation is done as follows: you must first copy the necessary html file to the Windows \ Web folder, and then run the REG file, which writes the necessary data to the registry. This method has several disadvantages. Firstly, this is not very correct - to force the user to search for the folder to copy, then run the second file to complete the installation of the program. Secondly, for security reasons, copying to system folders is now considered bad form (UAC on guard).
Therefore, I acted as follows. A script was written in the form of a VBS file that automatically writes data to the registry, and the html file is copied to the user's profile folder. In the html file itself, the changes are small, you can see for yourself.
Enough theory, let's see how it looks in practice. Suppose I decided to write a review on the site Turbomilka . Open the desired site and right-click anywhere on the page.
In the context menu, select the item Copy title and page address . Switch to Notepad and paste from the clipboard a ready link to Turbomilk.

After insertion:
What can be improved: since the program was originally written for myself, I do not plan to delete it. But for users who for some reason will not like the add-on, you need to provide an uninstall process where the entry will be deleted from the registry in order not to overload the browser context menu.
Here, on Habré, I found a utility relative of the Simplest plug-in for Internet Explorer using html, javascript and .inf / Internet Explorer / Habrahabr (I just added this link using my own utility!). Ideas have something in common with each other. Read the material for more information.

I'd love to learn how to write a similar plugin for other browsers: Firefox, Opera, Chrome. I would be grateful if you share links to useful information. Or maybe you yourself will write such plugins and share with the habrasoobschestvom.
