I'm attempting to use InstaPaper (instapaper.com), which uses a Javascript bookmark to tag pages for later reference. Is there any way to make this (or other Javascript bookmarks) work with NoScript?

Good question. I'm running into this issue as well. Instapaper is growing in popularity, so I imagine lots of people are going to run into this issue.

Under the NoScript Options, go to Advanced, XSS, and add

^http://[a-z]+\.instapaper.com/

Works for me. Someone else can comment if this can be more specific.

I've tried this and haven't gotten it to work. (FF6.x on Mac OS X, NoScript 2.1.2.7, FlashBlock, no other extensions).

I think the regexp should be fixed up to escape the second, period, right, like this:

^http://[a-z]+\.instapaper\.com/

but even then, no luck for me. Title changes to add (Saving...) and nothing else happens. (NoScript doesn't pipe up to say it blocked anything.)

Can anyone confirm that the instapaper bookmarklet (as currently distributed) works for them with FF6 + NoScript?

Thanks.

Never mind--got it to work by copying the bookmarklet anew.

The first one which I did not get to work came from the Instapaper Extras page. The new one came from instapapers "Add" page, i.e.:

http://www.instapaper.com/edit

Looking at the difference between the two (the earlier lacks a cryptic ID-like bit in the URL used), it's possible that I grabbed the first bookmarklet when I was not yet signed in to Instapaper, and thus it did not customize it for my account.
