Apple iPad
Using WOT with Safari on the iPad
WOT has - to my knowledge - not published instructions how to use its services in a convenient way with iOS5 and Safari on the iPad. Yet.
The following procedure describes how to use the bookmarklet JavaScript provided by WOT in this scenario.
Here is how you do it: I assume you are using the bookmark bar on safari.
- In Safari go to Bookmarks and add this page to your bookmarks (you can use any page)
- Next, edit the bookmark as follows:
- For description enter: WOT rating
- For the URL/Link enter the following full line (use highlight and copy to grab it from below):
javascript:(function%28%29%7Bvar%20f%3Ddocument.getElementById%28%27wot-bookmark let%27%29%3Bif%28f%29%7Bf.parentNode.removeChild%28f%29%3Breturn%3B%7Dvar%20l%3D location.hostname%3Bif%28l%26%26l.length%29%7Bf%3Ddocument.createElement%28%27if rame%27%29%3Bif%28f%29%7Bf.setAttribute%28%27id%27%2C%27wot-bookmarklet%27%29%3B f.setAttribute%28%27src%27%2C%27http%3A//www.mywot.com/bookmarklet/%27+encodeURI Component%28location.hostname%29%29%3Bf.setAttribute%28%27frameborder%27%2C0%29% 3Bf.setAttribute%28%27scrolling%27%2C%27no%27%29%3Bf.setAttribute%28%27style%27% 2C%27position%3Afixed%3Btop%3A10px%3Bleft%3A10px%3B%27+%27width%3A135px%3Bheight %3A235px%3Bborder%3A0%3Bmargin%3A0%3Bpadding%3A0%3Bz-index%3A10487575%3B%27%29%3 Bif%28document.body%29%7Bdocument.body.appendChild%28f%29%3B%7D%7D%7D%7D)()
- Press Done and close the bookmarks. That's it.
- You should now have a new toggle button called "WOT rating" on you bookmark bar which will pop-up the typical WOT rating box in the lower left hand corner of your browser. If you click the button again or move to another website, the window should disappear.
Certainly, this his is not as nice as having donuts displayed on the google search results, but maybe something to keep you safe, still. The code above is the original code provided by WOT as of today. No modifications whatsoever.
