Javascript for command-line posting

dracodraconisI just arrived at Dreamwidth yesterday and have, so far, been rather impressed. One of the features I missed, however, was the bookmarklet javascript for auto-posting. I've gerry-rigged the LJ javascript function to perform the same function for dreamwidth:
javascript:void((function(){var%20u='http://www.dreamwidth.org/',w=window.open('','','toolbar=0,resizable=1,scrollbars=1,status=1,width=1000,height=500');if(window.LJ_bookmarklet){return%20LJ_bookmarklet(w,u)};var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.onload=function(){LJ_bookmarklet(w,u)};e.setAttribute('src',u+'js/bookmarklet.js');document.getElementsByTagName('head').item(0).appendChild(e)})())
Create a bookmark in your browser and in the URL field cut-and-paste the above script. One of the biggest changes that is needed is to replace the http://www.livejournal.com/js/bookmarklet.js javascript code residing either locally or on a DW server rather than on the LJ server. I'll continue to play with this to see what I come up with.
If anyone makes any improvements to this script, please let me know and I'll update this post with appropriate cudos.
Edit: Found a bug with the method; it only works if you have run the script to post to LJ at least once in this session. Not a big problem at the moment because I'm posting to both so I just post to LJ first, then to DW, but this is certainly not a long-term solution.
Edit 2: Now testing some locally-running javascript to attempt to perform the same function but so far no-go.
