So as I'm sure you all know, if you want to go to a certain chapter in a series that isn't near your bookmarked chapter you have to do some maths and some guessing to find the page of the chapter list here on NU. Well I'm too lazy for that. I've put a teensy bit of effort into a JavaScript Bookmarklet which will ask you for your desired chapter number and then navigate to almost* the right page. Create a new bookmark in your browser's bookmarks bar, change the URL/target/location to the code below, go to a series on NU, click the bookmarklet and enter a number. Code: javascript:(function(){if(document.querySelectorAll('h4.seriesother').length>0&&window.location.hostname=="www.novelupdates.com"){if(document.querySelectorAll('div.digg_pagination>a').length>0){var c=window.prompt("Enter a chapter number:");if(c==null||c==""||isNaN(c)){window.alert("No number entered or number not valid!");}else{var d=document.querySelectorAll('div.digg_pagination>a');var n=d[d.length-2].href.split("pg=")[1];p=n-Math.floor(Math.abs(c)/15);p=p<1?1:p;p=p>n?n:p;window.location.href="./?pg="+p+"#myTable";}}else{window.alert("No pagination!");}}else{window.alert("Not a Novel Updates series page!");}})(); *I say almost, because groups who do multi-chapter or bulk releases as a single "chapter" link on NU won't work with this bookmarklet. Also any series that has a lot of side chapters that are numbered separately from normal chapters (e.g. c104 + SS1) will throw the calculation off. You can also view the source code here if you want to be sure I'm not doing anything nefarious or stupid, or if you think you can improve it. Code: javascript:(function(){ if(document.querySelectorAll('h4.seriesother').length>0&&window.location.hostname=="www.novelupdates.com"){ if(document.querySelectorAll('div.digg_pagination>a').length>0){ var c=window.prompt("Enter a chapter number:"); if(c==null||c==""||isNaN(c)){ window.alert("No number entered or number not valid!"); }else{ var d=document.querySelectorAll('div.digg_pagination>a'); var n=d[d.length-2].href.split("pg=")[1]; p=n-Math.floor(Math.abs(c)/15); p=p<1?1:p; p=p>n?n:p; window.location.href="./?pg="+p+"#myTable"; } }else{ window.alert("No pagination!"); } }else{ window.alert("Not a Novel Updates series page!"); } })();
Or you can just use chapter listing and scroll down for a few seconds and select which chapter you want.
It wasn't there when i made the comment. I guess i am too slow at editing pics. Already deleted the unnecessary addition, sorry.
Maybe not everyone knows what chapter listing is though, I didn't, but @tak included a screenshot which helped way more than simply saying that chapter listing exist whatever that is... (Well now I know, since I saw the screenshot before the post was deleted.) It wasn't unnecessary
I'm not forcing you to use it if you prefer wasting time scrolling around and guessing. Honestly I find it much easier and quicker to click a button and type a number, rather than searching for a needle in a haystack.
No need to apologise.... It was a joke, rather than asking you to delete it... I was just kidding. No need to delete it. In fact, yours was more helpful since you had included a picture.
Don't worry, I won't again bother sharing anything I find useful here, clearly you and @tak have already got the best possible solutions for everything.
Oh well, if my reply came off as sarcastic, I apologise. I wasn't trying to undermine your work. I simply remind that another alternative exists. Thanks for sharing.
Sorry, there was some IRL problem so i just looked at the post i'm tagged in, i didn't scroll up. Yesterday, I just read the pic is helpful so i posted it again. I didn't read that you don't find that way harder, or that your novel have >2000 chapters. Your script is helpful for those novels with a lot of chapters, and someone appreciated your hard work. Considering some NUF members are lurkers, there might be some that find your script helpful but didn't comment.
