Add URL with bookmarklet

ghurd says:
Would it be possible to capture the URL of the web page you're viewing when you use the "Add to RTM!" bookmarklet?

Not an essential thing, but very convenient, I've found through having this same functionality in a competing product.

Thanks,
gkh

Anything's possible :) Sure, this is something that we can look at adding -- thanks for the suggestion!

This would be an excellent addition, I attempted to change the javascript call to pass &u= but sadly I couldn't work around it.

Use wcitypoe's modified Add button as a bookmarklet (uses the mobile add):
java_script: popw=window.open('http://m.rememberthemilk.com/add?name=' + escape(%22Check out \%22%22) + escape(document.title) + escape(%22\%22%22) + '&list=&location=&priority=&repeat=&estimate=&tags=&url=' + escape(location.href) + '&add=' + escape('\%22Add Form\%22'), 'taskForm','scrollbars=yes,width=680,height=510,top=175,left=75,status=no,resizable=yes');if (!document.all) T = setTimeout('popw.focus()',50);void(0);

Delete _ in java_script, add the list number to add this task to and do whatever changes you want to the meta tags. You can find the list number through the print link on the task page, typically 7 digits.

You will have to login the first time but you will remain logged in for weeks.

Emily: I'm a little disappointed, wcitypoe and I have used the mobile Quick add bookmarklet for this for months. Others too ;-)

Sorry Emily, I just realized ian.blizard did some necroposting ;-)

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