The main functionality I would want out of a submit bookmarklet is prepopulating the url field so I don't have to copy and paste it. Showing the submit page in context of the page I am on does not help as much.

Then I would suggest that a new feature be the ability to pass url parameters to the submit form that prepopulate the url and/or title fields.

As it stands, there's no real way to do it in a bookmarklet. Firefox's XSS security policies won't allow it.

Prepopulation is what I wanted too. If someone could update the submit page so that it accepts something like ?url=site.com&title;=foobar in the url it would be great.

At least now its easy to drag and drop from the page the url and title. Any one know a way to get prepopulation to work?

As I said before, I don't think it can work (in Firefox) without a change in the code. Firefox's default security settings won't let you modify the content of html from another domain (I don't think...)
