I’m attempting to use javascript to modify the url on page. This URL is then being passed into the bit.ly bookmarklet to be shortened. My script will append a parameter to the URL and insert it into the URL field of the bit.ly bookmarklet. If this works i would combine the code of the bit.ly bookmarklet with the script to automatically perform its task.

The process is as follows:

Run bit.ly bookmarklet, run my script to append parameter, use bit.ly bookmarklet

Source of bit.ly bookmarklet

<div id="mainUnAuthShortenContainer" class="inputBoxContainer">
<input tabindex="1" id="shortenUnAuthContainer" name="url" value="https://www.google.com/" type="text">
</div>

My script

var elem = document.getElementById("shortenUnAuthContainer");
elem.value = window.location + "?Parameter";

My script works in JSFiddle but not in real application. It does nothing when applied to the actual bit.ly bookmarklet. Any help is appreciated.

The bit.ly bookmarklet for reference.
Thanks!

    It’s impossible.

    Reason: accessing element in iframe(the URL inner iframe is different with parent window) is deny by browser.

    More: You are trying to access a element which is not yet create, the time JS/iframe/element are still on loading. if you solve this problem, then you will still met the limitation above..

    *I checked bitly API documentation, there is a solution may works if you have a PHP server – deploy you own bitly service: https://code.google.com/p/bitly/

    FYI, bitly code lib: http://dev.bitly.com/code_libraries.html
