The Thing What I Wrote

I spent the afternoon grappling with Javascript, writing my very first Firefox addon.

I repost images on Livejournal/Dreamwidth a lot, and I'm not the only one. And I've noticed that I tend to forgot the alt text (and title text) when I do that.

So what would be very handy is if I could right-click on an image and select "Copy Image Source" and get the image, complete with any information that was in the IMG tag.

And so I wrote one.

You can get it here if you think it would be useful.

And if you have any feedback on improvements to it, just let me know. It's trivially simple, but that doesn't mean I've missed something obvious that would make it better for some people.

It just copies the original HTML. Inserting my own HTML into the middle of it is a project for another day (if I can even use JS to discover the height/width).
