JavaScript bookmarklet and URL coding

Question

By fully revealing that I do not know Javascript, I am trying to get this Javascript:

javascript:location = 'http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=' +escape(location)&doctype=Inline&charset=detect+automatically&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.654';

to work as a bookmark to send a URL of this format:

http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://www.wordpress.org&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.654

to the W3C vallidiator.

I am coding a Javascript URL using this encoder , but of course I am doing something wrong both in my Javascript and in the process of coding it.

Does anyone have any ideas, in particular or generally about Javascript bookmarks and URL encoding? Thanks.

Two errors:

• You need to access the href element of the location object:

  window.location. href= http://foo.com

• JavaScript:

  javascript: location = 'http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=' + escape (location) &; = & = + & = 1 & = 0 & = W3C_Validator/1,654';

:

javascript:(function(){window.location.href='http://validator.w3.org/check?uri='+escape(window.location.href)+'&doctype=Inline&charset=detect+automatically&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.654';})()
