Load page AND run bookmarklet js with ONE bookmark?
How can I set up a bookmark(let) to load a page and then run some bookmarklet js on that page, all with one click? I have the code I need working (with some trial and error, not an expert) but don't know how to combine the two. Thanks.

You can't load another page, then run a code snippet with a bookmarklet.
e.g.
Bookmarklet Builder
http://subsimple.com/bookmarklets/jsbuilder.htm
e.g.
Code: Select all
javascript:(function () {
location.replace("http://www.mozillazine.org/");
setTimeout(function () {
alert("This alert will not display.");
}, 5000);
})();

I wondered whether that was possible... it's OK, what I have is working well as a two-click solution. Thanks for the link also, I look forward to exploring it.

You could use a userscript to execute a code snippet after opening a bookmark with a query string.
Bookmark 1 opens normally. Bookmark 2 executes a code snippet after opening.
Bookmark 1

Bookmark 2
http://www.mozillazine.org/index.html?example=alpha

Bookmark 2
http://www.mozillazine.org/index.html?example=alpha
Code: Select all
// ==UserScript==
// @name Test
// @match http://www.mozillazine.org/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
(function () {
"use strict";
function getQuery(name) {
var params = location.search.substring(1).split("&");
for (var i = 0; i < params.length; i++) {
var pair = params[i].split("=");
if (pair[0] == name) {
return pair[1];
}
}
return null;
}
if (getQuery("example") == "alpha") {
// query found, execute code snippet
} else {
// query not found, do nothing
}
})();
