  Bookmarklet for beta Google News... works on page's current selection, or
provides a text-entry prompt with desired default term:
javascript:Qr=document.getSelection();if(!Qr){void(Qr=prompt('Search Google
News:','britney'))};if(Qr)location.href='http://news.google.com/news?q='+
escape(Qr)+'&num=10'

Paste as the location for a new bookmark. Watch for linebreaks through
email.

Nice, but do you know what the void() is in there for? Would that handle
people pressing the "cancel" button?

Richard
