Comment on HN: feedback on my image bookmarking website

At first, I thought the bookmarklet was broken.

I like the way you click on the bookmarklet, then click on the image.

Would be nice to have some sort of indicator after clicking the bookmarklet so the user knows that the images have become hot. Just a discrete little flash message, something like "Okay! Now select your image."

Just drop this in at the top of bookmarklet.js :)

  // Flash message
  var flashMsg = document.createElement("div");
  flashMsg.style.position = "absolute";
  flashMsg.style.right = "0px";
  flashMsg.style.top = "0px";
  flashMsg.style.padding = "20px 40px";
  flashMsg.style.backgroundColor = "#eee";
  flashMsg.style.borderBottom = "1px solid #ccc";
  flashMsg.style.borderLeft = "1px solid #ccc";
  flashMsg.style.fontSize = "30px";
  flashMsg.innerHTML = "<em>Okay!</em> Now select your image";
  document.body.appendChild(flashMsg);

  window.setTimeout(function(){
    flashMsg.style.display = 'none';
  }, 3000);

Thanks, just added that to the bookmarklet!

The bookmarklet does not adapt gracefully when my browser shows only an image. For a quick example, try using the bookmarklet at this address: http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/inlovewithmoney1/a16... .
