how to run a js file from the address bar

[whininguser]

Instead of using javascript:alert('hi'), suppose I store alert('hi') in x.js and put it on host.com/x.js. Is it possible to execute host.com/x.js from the address bar using javascript:? Thanks.

When you go to the JS file, you will see the source code.

If you want to be able to run it via the address bar, you could copy and paste the entire code, and prefix it with javascript: pseudo-url.

For example, the contents of host.com/x.js is:

Code: Select all

alert('hi');
alert('hello');


...copy that code, and place that in the address bar on this format:

Code: Select all

javascript:alert('hi');alert('hello');


Hope that helps.
