This combination of User JS and bookmarklets allows you to get Lynx-style numbered navigation in Opera 8.0+. It assigns a number to every link on a page using User JS, and allows the user to navigate them using a nicknamed bookmarklet (which may be coupled to a keyboard shortcut).
I have written the following User JS:
// ==UserScript==
// ==/UserScript==
/* Lynx-style link numbering script
*
* Author: Hermen Toersche
* Date: 2005-04-23
*/
document.addEventListener(
'load',
function(e) {
if (document && document.body) {
var db = document.body;
linksLijst = new Array();
var links = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
var i;
for(i = 1; i <= links.length; i++) {
linksLijst[i-1] = links[i-1].href;
var linkLabel = document.createElement("span");
linkLabel.className = "linkLijstNummer";
linkLabel.appendChild(document.createTextNode(i));
links[i-1].insertBefore(linkLabel, links[i-1].firstChild);
//links[i-1].parentNode.insertBefore(linkLabel, links[i-1]);
}
}
}, false);
Grab and save as "linkNumberer.js".
The corresponding bookmarklet binds the script to the UI:
Numbered Links (Right-click the button and choose "Bookmark link")
In order to use it efficiently, it is recommended to set a nickname to the bookmarklet (otherwise I think it would be much faster just to click the link ;) ), which becomes the access point to the script.
The script should work now, but it doesn't look good (enough) yet; the following browser.css snippet will fix this:
span.linkLijstNummer {
display: inline;
background: #DDD;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none;
margin-right: 3px;
border: 1px solid #44E;
font-family: monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
}
An alternate, non-flow-breaking, better-looking style:
span.linkLijstNummer {
position: absolute;
background: #DDD;
color: #000;
text-decoration: none !important;
font-family: Verdana !important;
font-size: 6px !important;
line-height: 9px !important;
letter-spacing: -2px !important;
padding: 2px;
padding-left: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
margin-left: -7px;
margin-top: -6px;
}
(note: it's still looking ugly!)
