Quick Add bookmarklet should capture URL

(closed account) says:
This is a pretty obvious one. Could we please get the QuickAdd bookmarklet to set the URL of the task to the current page?

Thanks!

Make your own quick bookmarklet, described here (uses the mobile site): www.rememberthemilk.com/forums/ideas/6656/

This is close enough, thanks!

...perhaps if I were a web developer, or knew anything substantial about javascript, I would have made my own. I don't think the RTM folks are quite so optimistic as you that all of their users have javascript experience...hence the request.

It makes no sense that the advertised, standard bookmarklet (for websites, mind you) doesn't capture the URL of the site you are visiting. Sure, you might not ALWAYS want the URL, but then it's a simple delete. Right now it's a bit more complicated to add the URL...you have to actually navigate to the task you created.

Anyway, I'm sure they'll improve it some day...it's only a tiny part of what makes RTM so awesome.

This idea is considered similar to "Add URL field", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
