Interesting dilemma here. I need the ability for users to add links from their browser bookmarks to a field in a Rails form. Basically I would like them to click a button, have it open their browser bookmarks, have them click a link, and it will automatically populate the form field with the bookmark url.
This is a rails / ruby site, but I think the solution may be to go client side with jquery or another javascript library. Is there anything out there you all have been using for similar situations?
I don’t believe you can access a users bookmarks since that seems like a browser-by-browser thing, and also sounds like a security issue. Someone might prove me wrong, though.
