What is the Add to Wish List Bookmarklet?

The 'Add to Wish List' bookmarklet will make adding gifts to your wish list much easier.  Watch the Add Gift Items to Your Wish List Using the Bookmarklet  video (3 minutes - will open in a blank screen and take a minute or two to download).  Detailed instructions
and videos which show you how to add the bookmarklet to your browser are shown in the sections below.

Bookmarklets are links you add to your browser's Bookmarks/Links/Favorites Toolbar. In fact you can add your bookmarklet anywhere in your Favorites folders if you so choose. The YouCouldGetMe bookmarklet simply links to your Add to Gifts page. The bonus is that two of the fields on your Add Gifts page will be copied automatically saving you time and effort.

1. The bookmarklet will copy the address (URL) of the page containing your gift item.

2. If you highlight the gift item name this will be copied to the Link Text field.

3. Then select the category, who can see the item, and add any notes.

Click on the [Add Gift Item Button] and your gift item will be added to to wish list and you will be returned back to your shopping page.

This makes the whole process really much easier.

Adding the Bookmarklet to Microsoft Internet Explorer Only. (See instructions for other browsers further down the page).




When using Microsoft Internet Explorer, adding the bookmarklet is performed in two distinct stages. Stage 1 adds a placemarker link to the toolbar and Stage 2 adds the bookmarklet.

Stage 1: Add Placemarker link

1. Make sure your "Links Toolbar" is visible. If it is not, right click on any part of the menu bar and make sure "Links" is checked.
   (In IE8 Use View -> Toolbars and ensure that "Favorites Bar" is checked)

2. Right click on the following link Add to Wish List  bookmarklet and click "Add to Favorites"

3. Be sure to save the favorite in your "Links" folder (or Favorites Bar if using IE8) so that it appears in your Links Toolbar.


Stage 2: Add bookmarklet

Adding the bookmarklet is now a simple copy and paste operation.

1. Copy all of the text in the box below: javascript:(function(){location.href='http://www.youcouldgetme.com/RegUsers/AddGifts.aspx?ycgmurl='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+'&ycgmlinktext='+encodeURIComponent(((window.getSelection&&window.getSelection())||(document.getSelection&&document.getSelection())||(document.selection&&document.selection.createRange&&document.selection.createRange().text)))+'&ycgmcommand=bookmarkletv01'})()

2. Right Click on the PlaceMarker link that you just created on your Favorites bar (or Links bar). Then select the Properties option.

3. Delete the contents of the URL field (In IE8 it is under the Web Document Tab)

4. Paste the copied text into the URL field and click [OK] button
   (You can safely ignore the "Problem with Shortcut" warning given in IE8 and click the [Yes] button)
