#12It's cool, but curious why it shows nothing on our website! http://colrgrabr.swissamigos.com/#http://www.scirra.com
It doesn't show anything for my site either :( Life is difficult! (http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/~tikhon) And my page is fully standards compliant. (Yours might be as well--I didn't check.)

#13Not working for me on Chrome on Mac. Keeps the HN url appended on top of my own url. When I manually edit, still doesn't work, just gives me the original form.

#14Every search I try it gives me the colours for Hacker News :( I can see why this would be very useful (instead of trawling through the CSS with dev tools or using a colourpicker) - On closer inspection, it looks like it's always returning the colours for the first search I made, whichever that is.. (Chrome latest on Mac)
For me it works on most URLs not containing a path components but sometimes it chokes. Seems to return the latest successful query then?
I think it's a very useful idea. Maybe a bookmarklet is second best to a browser plugin (but this one can surely be improved):
javascript:(function(){var%20s=encodeURIComponent(window.location.href.match(/:\/\/(.[^/]+)/)[1]);open('http://colrgrabr.swissamigos.com/?url='+s+'#'+s);})();

Why do your css links have a double slash prepended?
"//static4.scirra.net/css/newmaster.css?v=43"

Why do your css links have a double slash prepended? "//static4.scirra.net/css/newmaster.css?v=43" No idea if that's the issue but it stuck out.
Although I can't speak for the OP, and you may be asking for a different reason, but double slashes are an acceptable way to write fully qualified URLs while still being protocol agnostic (that is to say, if you're on a page that was served via HTTPS, the double slash URL implies using the HTTPS protocol). It let's you have fully qualified URLs, without having to worry about the protocol and browser whining about mixed security.

#17Neat idea, but this thing seems broken. This would be a useful tool!

Hey thanks for the effort of creating a bookmarklet for ColrGrabr. I will provide it directly on the page.
Btw. you don't need the ?url= query param.
javascript:(function(){var%20s=encodeURIComponent(window.location.href.match(/:\/\/(.[^/]+)/)[1]);open('http://colrgrabr.swissamigos.com/#+s);})();Re: Sometimes a CSS color scraper comes in handy ...

Thanks for your comment.
I've tested it on Chrome latest for Mac & Canary Build and it works fine for me.
Do you have more details on this issue?
thx

I get a http 500 status code back and I'm gonna investigate that issue tomorrow.
Maybe its because the user agent.
