I wish I can click on a bookmarklet on the Bookmarks bar to display the Wayback Machine's search results for the current page. In other words, I wish there can be a bookmarklet that opens the following URL:

http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/URL_of_current_page

I know I can drag a bookmarklet to the Bookmarks bar, and then, from its righ-click Properties menu, change the Location text to the JavaScript codes which opens the above Wayback Machine's URL. I just know nothing about programming.

So, could someone assist me with the needed JavaScript?


Thanks.

PS: I know there are some add-ons that deals with WaybackMachine, such as "Resurrect Pages" or "Wayback Machine 20100602". But I have not found one that does what I want.

Thank you very much.

I hide the label text of this bookmarklet and use a Wayback Machine favicon for it. Now I have an icon on the Bookmarks bar, a click on which takes me to the old vesions of the current web page.

I will drink a glass of champaigne for that.

The Wayback Machine favicon I use is here:
