Hey,
Though Browser extensions and Greasemonkey scripts are the obvious choices for extending web pages, bookmarklets still continue to be the only reliable, cross browser choice to easily add custom functionality to sites.
As bookmarklets can simply be scriptlets extracted from a page, and can be later transformed into extensions or greasemonkey scripts, they seem to be obvious choices to prototype extensions for web pages. Most bookmarklets are just about including a remote script file into the current DOM structure. However, a bookmarklet can become even more elegant if it could use libraries and external CSS. Also, it would be a great if the entire bookamarklet functionality could be broken into files for manageability. I was working on a bookmarklet project when I wrote a generic bookmarklet that could be used as a starting point to write new bookmarklets. You can find the source here.
A little explanation of the bookmarklet framework that you could extend it to do your functionality. The 'init' function loads all the scripts and style sheets that you specify. Alternatively, the list of files could be written into this file at the build time. Line 16 checks if the script is already included, and if it is, you should not try including all the files again. A note on trying to fetch data from a site x.com, when you are on a web page from y.com. Due to the same domain restriction policy, AJAX requests cannot be made.
Though I started writing a Cross Site XHR-JSON support, I found that YUI just got it out in its beta. The YUI Get utility is something you may want to take a look at. All that the utility does is add a "script" tag to the DOM, thus including the JS file that is fetched from x.com into the page at y.com. Additional features including cleaning the DOM of such script tags so as not to bloat the source, onload handlers, and attaching the script tag to required DOM elements. This is a particularly useful utility to fetch data from different domains, and even to include style sheets.
A couple of enhancements that I am working on are
1. Check if the included scripts already exist in the page, and if they do, don't load them.
2. Currently, all the scripts have new functions attached to them. That is bad on memory, and I am writing a common singular function that would listen to all the loads.
Please do let me know of any other features that you would want it this generic bookmarklet.
If you are looking at converting your bookmarklet to a greasemonkey script and are having trouble testing it, you could give a shot at a greasemonkey testing framework that I am working on.
