Stephen Ostermiller's Form Bookmarklets |
Bookmarklets are useful peices of JavaScript code that you can save in your browser's bookmarks. When you then click this bookmark it will run the code against the current page rather than the usual "go to the bookmarked page" behavior of bookmarks.

Extract FormsCreates a new page that contains only the forms from the current page, with their current values.
Traverses all frames on the current page find the forms, pulls the form and its elements out
into a new page. This breaks on forms that have an element named action, and forms that contain
image elements that are not in the traversal list.
Once all the forms are in a new page, it is easy to save that page to a local file to store the form data, or to manipulate the form before submitting it again. |

Forms to Homepage GETChanges forms to submit using the GET method to the home page of the site.
Traverses all frames on the current page searching for forms and sets their
method to GET and their action to /.
When a form submits via GET, its arguments are visible in the URL bar allowing them to be inspected. Changing the action to the homepage also often prevents a redirect from being issued that would make the arguments disappear. Unfortunately some sites have a redirect on the home page itself which would make this ineffective. |

Forms to GETChanges forms to submit using the GET method rather than using POST.
Traverses all frames on the current page searching for forms and sets their
method to GET.
When a form submits via GET, its arguments are visible in the URL bar allowing them to be inspected or the url to be bookmarked. Many servers are configured to accept parameters through either GET or POST so the functionality may be the same. There are, however, servers that will only accept POST forms. |
