Various bookmarklets I've used.
This is a blog with many fine articles on nutrition. I love it but Tom Naughton didn't like the format of block quotes, so he created his own by surrounding the text with a span and setting the color to #800000 which is some sort of dark red. I sent him the CSS to add at the end of the theme's style.css file, but he is afraid of breaking the blog.
/*
* Target block quotes in posts and set it to look like Tom's quotes.
*/
.entry blockquote {
margin: 0; /* get rid of the indent on some browsers. */
padding: 0; /* get rid of the indent on other browsers. */
background: transparent; /* Make the background color the same as the post. */
border-width: 0; /* Remove the odd dashed borders. */
font-style: normal; /* Change the font from italic to normal. */
color: #800; /* Shorthand for #800000. */
}The problem is when you are reading a post on an iPhone and use the Readability button. The block quotes disappear because colors are removed from the text and they aren't really block quotes. They are different colored text in a paragraph.
What this bookmarklet does is add a style that overwrites the blockquote styles, then looks for any <span> elements that immediately follow a paragraph. It then looks at the style attribute of each <span> and if the style attribute is equal to "color: #800000;" wraps the paragraph with a <blockquote> element.
After running this bookmarklet you can press the Readability button and differentiate between block quotes and the rest of the text.

iOS used to not have a find on webpage function. This bookmarklet will open a prompt then search the text of the body of the webpage for the search text. It will then wrap the text with a <span style="background:#ff0;color:#000"> element and scroll the page to the first element. Each found item will have a yellow background with black text.
I had found a find bookmarklet but it modified the text of all the html and replaced the html. It didn't always work well.
void(searchText = prompt('Find text:', ''));
searchText = '(' + searchText + ')';
regex = new RegExp(searchText, 'gi');
randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 100);
randomID = 'z' + randomNumber;
body = document.body.innerHTML;
body = body.replace(regex, '<span name=' + randomID + ' id=' + randomID + ' style=\'color:#000;background-color:yellow; font-weight:bold;\'>$1</span>');
void(document.body.innerHTML = body);
alert('Found ' + document.getElementsByName(randomID).length + ' matches.');
window.scrollTo(0, document.getElementsByName(randomID)[0].offsetTop);So I rewrote it as find.js so that it adds DOM elements instead of replacing the HTML.

You can Search for Text on a Web Page in Safari with iOS 8 and iOS 7, it just takes a little extra work.
I did try to create an enhanced version of find that adds a navigation bar at the bottom of the page, but it turned out to be too large for a bookmarklet. I may find a place to host the find-plus.js file and create a bookmarklet to add the script, but since the functionality is already in Mobile Safari, though hidden and a little clunky to use, I probably won't.
Some of the commentors can be insulting and not listen to reasoned argument. This bookmarklet allows you to specify a group of names to hide the contents of the comments, leaving just the name and id. It creates a toggle so that the viewer can see the comment if they so desire.
Change the names putting a vertical bar (|) between each name. In the case I'm hiding happyfeet and jmann's comments. Copy the text below into the URL field of a bookmark. Go to the http://patterico.com website, view an article and select the saved bookmark to hide the comments.
javascript:(function($){'use strict';var n=/^(happyfeet|jmann)/i,aa=$(".fn"),end=aa.length,i,el,v,p;for(i=0;i<end;i++){el=$(aa[i]);v=el.text();if(n.test(v)){p=el.parents(".comment-body");p.children().not("span,br,.reply").hide();p.css("padding","1em 0 0 3em");p.css("cursor","pointer");p.click(function(){if($(this).children()[0].style.display==="none"){$(this).children().not("span,br,.reply").show();$(this).css("padding","");}else{$(this).children().not("span,br,.reply").hide();$(this).css("padding","1em 0 0 3em");}});}}}(jQuery));
