Numbering Google Search Results with JavaScript bookmark

To ensure your internal wiring performs at it's best fit an ADSL Faceplate Filter:

Add the code below to an Internet Explorer favourite/favorite, you can then number the results  in your  results page (SERP = Search Engine Results Page).

javascript:var p=document.getElementsByTagName('*');var j=1;function gc(){for(i=0;i<p.length;i++){if(p[i].className=='g'){p[i].innerHTML=j+'. '+p[i].innerHTML;j++;}};};gc();

Changes: document.getElementsByTagName('li');  Google have changed the format of the results lists - originally using 'li' worked in the code snippet above, then 'div' and now back to 'li' !   Using '*' seems to cater for both.

UPDATE: Google Results Counter doesn't work if you are logged in to your Google account.
Since Google added their Searchwiki functionality, it breaks the Google Results Counter Script - the simple way round this is to simply logout of your Google account!

Creating your Google Results Counter Bookmark

The simplest way to do this is to create 'any old' favourite and then modify it.
Right hand click the IE favourite and then change the properties giving it a name like 'Google Counter'
Then copy/paste the code above where the URL would normally be.

JavaScript to display the data and time (last modified date) of a web page
.

'Last Modified' code

This script will display the last modified date and time for a webpage. This will only work for some pages - dynamic content etc. will always show the actual date/time.

javascript:alert(document.lastModified)

Use the instructions above for the Google Counter to put the line of code above in to a IE Favourite.

The screen image shows the popup box displaying the last modified date and time for this page.
