Bookmarklet for MSDN
Today I was cruising the old MSDN using their much better low bandwidth version when I stumbled across a page on events in C#. What got my attention was the example code all grey and boring not to mention hard to follow. What this page needed was a little bit of SyntaxHighlighter Alex Gorbatchev’s glorious javascript library which add syntax to source code. I use it right here on my blog as does everybody else who passes the coolness test. The test, of course, being the use of SyntaxHighlighter. I hacked at the jQueryify bookmarklet and managed to get it to load the correct SyntaxHighlighter libraries and stylesheets. The next time you’re on MSDN squinting at a piece of code try hitting MSDN Style. It only works on firefox at the moment but I’ll update it to work on IE as well. Simply drag this link to your bookmarks bar and you’re good to go:

function getScript(url,success){
var script=document.createElement(‘script’);
script.src=url;
var head=document.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0], done=false;
script.onload=script.onreadystatechange = function(){
if ( !done && (!this.readyState ||
this.readyState == “loaded” || this.readyState == “complete”) ) {
done=true;
success();
}
};
head.appendChild(script);
};

function loadStyle(url)

style.href = url;
style.rel = “stylesheet”;
style.type=”text/css”;
document.getElementsByTagName(“head”)[0].appendChild(style);
};
function completeLoad() {
$(“.libCScode:not(div)”).addClass(“brush: csharp”);
SyntaxHighlighter.highlight();
};
})();
