Nobody said otherwise... though it would be good to see it in action. Your
last un-shown script I accepted as just working because it seemed like it
should have, but when I tested it (admittedly with a different browser and
OS) it failed. 

Still, with a quick look no reason to think your current one would... unlike
Carroll's which had a pretty big flaw he failed to understand even after I
pointed it out to him.

Sure - at least certainly seems so and I cannot think of why what you show
would not work. Well done... if that is what you are looking for.

Curious: would you need to use a hot-key or extra icon on your screen (not
tied to the browser)? I am not sure I could get an icon to show just with
Safari but I could tie it to a hot key that worked only when running Safari.
