How to Have Fun With Your Address Bar on Your Browser

Tricks' Codes

Shake the Browser Window

• Copying and pasting the following code into your address bar will shake the browser window a little:

javascript:function Shw(n) {
    if (self.moveBy) {
        for (i = 35; i > 0; i--){
            for (j = n; j > 0; j--) {
                self.moveBy(1,i);
                self.moveBy(i,0);
                self.moveBy(0,-i);
                self.moveBy(-i,0);
            }
        }
    }
}
Shw(6);

See the actual URL of a page

• Copying and pasting the following code into your address bar will display the actual URL of the page you're currently viewing. This might be useful in detecting some phishing sites.

javascript:alert("The actual URL is:\t\t" + 
    location.protocol + "//" + location.hostname + "/" + 
    "\nThe address URL is:\t\t" + location.href + "\n" + 
    "\nIf the server names do not match, this may be a spoof.");

Make images in a page fly

• Copying and pasting the following code into your address bar will create a nice effect with the images in the page.

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6;
    y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200;
    DI=document.getElementsByTagName("img");
    DIL=DI.length; 
    function A(){
        for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){
            DIS=DI[ i ].style;
            DIS.position='absolute';
            DIS.left=(Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+<wbr>x3)*x4+x5)+"px";
            DIS.top=(Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+<wbr>y3)*y4+y5)+"px";
        }
        R++;
    }
setInterval('A()',5);
void(0);

Edit Any Website (or at least, look like you are!)

• Copying and pasting the following code into your address bar will make it look like you can edit the contents of any website out there! You won't actually be editing it though.

javascript:document.body.contentEditable='true';
    document.designMode='on'; 
    void(0);

Unmask a password (Gmail)

• Copying and pasting the following code into your address bar will display a message box with the password in a gmail login window.

javascript: alert(document.getElementById('Passwd').value);

• Going Back:

javascript: back();

• Going Forward:

javascript: forward();
