HTML keyboard bookmarklet

I just thought that the special character converter would be a useful pop–up from the browser toolbar, to make it easier to access when you’re composing a blog post and need a em dash in a hurry or something. So I made a little Blogger version. Drag this link to your toolbar: HTML keyboard

Update 20/07/04: Now that the Blogger chaps have created the new WYSIWYG editing interface, you’ll need to be in the “Edit html” mode rather than the “Compose” mode to input characters from this keyboard into your blog posts. Otherwise, the editor will automatically escape the ampersands to “&amp”, causing the code (eg. ∂) to appear on your blog, rather than the character (eg. ∂).

Great bookmarklet! Thanks!
For those who post coding tutorials I recommend the HTML to character entity converter here.
If someone could turn that functionality into a bookmarklet which just converts selected text, that would be great!

I'm using IE and these "drag to the toolbar" things never drag for me. Is there some other way to get it up there? I'd really love to have this capability.

BTW, what a great idea.
