This bookmarklet (link below) will create a simple quick and handy notepad that you can run anytime directly from your browser. Just click on the "Notepad" boomark, a resizable pop-up will appear, in which you can type your text. Then select save from the menu (or use ctrl-s), make sure you select "Text Files" instead of "Web Page" and enter a filename with a .txt extension.
To test this bookmarklet simply click on the link. To install a bookmarklet simply "right-click" on a link and save it as a bookmark or drag it to your bookmarks. You can then run the bookmarklet any time directly from your browser clicking on the "Notepad" bookmark.
This bookmarklet works in Firefox and other Gecko based browsers such as SeaMonkey.
Note: This version contains a fix to make the notepad appear on top in Firefox 2 on Windows.
Special thanks to Baris Unver whose posting (which unfortunately is no longer available) inspired me and provided the core that made this bookmarklet possible.
