The above JavaScript works but, HA!, still screwed! The font on the bookmark bar is so tiny it's impossible to select any bookmark without using a stylus. And I have small fingers. God help anyone with man hands... This font issue is particularly frustrating on the iPad mini, which obviously hadn’t been released when this was published.

The url input into the bookmark changes to something else once you close the edit. I can't believ that the most profitable company in the world can't build this into their iPad browser! Truly idiotic. Does not work on my ipad. The url input into the bookmark changes to something else once you close the edit.

End up with gibberish for the "}" and other symbols. Totally agree with Joe, it won’t work in iOS 6 on an iphone because it converts the javascript to the encoded format.

Except it looks like IOS encodes the URL. This looks like there is no way to save the javAscript properly. Re-editing the URL does not display the same value pasted. Just a guess that would explain why the bookmark does not work for me. In IOS6, pasting the code to a bookmark URL appears to work fine. Except it looks like IOS encodes the URL.

So I adapted the + - bookmarklets to change the font to something more readable. I also created another bookmarklet to change only the font. Create a bookmarklet called: Readable Font and save this in the address field javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica"} Create another bookmarklet called: Font - javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica";}else{var s=12;}s-=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px";p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica"} And finally create a bookmarklet called: Font + javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica";}else{var s=12;}s+=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px";p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica"} Enjoy I hate pages that default to Times New Roman. So I adapted the + – bookmarklets to change the font to something more readable. I also created another bookmarklet to change only the font.

Create a bookmarklet called: Readable Font and save this in the address field

javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName(‘*’);for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica"}

Create another bookmarklet called: Font -

javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica";}else{var s=12;}s-=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px";p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica"}

And finally create a bookmarklet called: Font +

javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].style.fontSize){var s=parseInt(p[i].style.fontSize.replace("px",""));p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica";}else{var s=12;}s+=2;p[i].style.fontSize=s+"px";p[i].style.fontFamily="Helvetica"}

Enjoy

I just test it in this article's small font size, it works perfect. Now I can see this is what "tap translate" application do.
