Mainly, for webex. I join a lot of my co-workers' webex where the URL is

https://mycompany.webex.com/join/meet/name

I would like to have a bookmark I can quickly click on that is for below that prompts me to enter in the "name" part of the URL from above.

https://mycompany.webex.com/join/meet/


I've Googled around, but can't find anything remotely close to what I'm needing. No Extensions or anything that I can find. Anyone know how to achieve this?

Hi,

I believe you should be able to do this by creating a bookmarklet.

Open the Library window (Bookmarks menu > Show all bookmarks), right-click anywhere on the window that appears, and choose "new bookmark". Give it a name like "create meeting", and enter the text below into the "location" field:

javascript:window.location = "https://mycompany.webex.com/join/meet/" + prompt("enter a meeting name:");

Change "mycompany" to the correct name, and choose "add". From there, you can drag the bookmark onto the "bookmarks toolbar" item in the sidebar to have it show up in your toolbar.

Hope that helps!

Another way would be to save the 'root' part of the link, open it from the Bookmarks Manager, then add whatever to the opened link.

FredMcD, I thought about that, but the link actually redirects to some long string that doesn't make your proposed solution available. However, it is certainly a good idea.

User1929, I tried your javascript answer and it worked like a charm! Thanks so much!

Idea: Create a new folder for that sites bookmarks. Then place all the bookmarks for that site there. Open the Bookmarks Manager, then use the search box.
