jQuery Bookmarklet Template w/ Async Loading
// You create your bookmarklet by instantiating
// a new Bookmarklet function, then pass in the options like so.
// This example checks to see if the var is already defined, and makes
// sure not to overwrite it. This could happen if the user clicks on
// the bookmarklet more than once.
MyBookmarklet = MyBookmarklet || (MyBookmarklet = new Bookmarklet({
// debug: true, // use debug to bust the cache on your resources
css: ['/my/style.css'],
js: [],
// jqpath: '/my/jquery.js', // defaults to google cdn-hosted jquery
ready: function(base) { // use base to expose a public method
base.init = function(){
// doStuff();
}
base.init();
}
}));

In HTML pages without any <SCRIPT> tags, link javascript don't work because s=undefined and insertBefore(g,s) fail.
With s=d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0]||null; it's ok.

@granci, I updated the script to put css at the top of the body, but not necessarily in the head. I think this will resolve the problem you've pointed out.
