Scripts

How to execute a script?

Learn five quick ways to execute a script for various devices and browsers.

Let's get started!

To execute a script, you can utilize 'DevTools' (also known as Developer Tools).


DevTools method

There are several ways to get into developer tools:


PC / Laptop

You can open DevTools in several ways (use any one of them):

  • Click F12 and switch over to the console tab
  • Ctrl + Shift + J
  • Right click → Inspect and switch over to the console tab
  • Three dots on the top-left corner → More tools → Developer tools and switch over to the console tab

After opening the console tab:

  1. Paste the script
  2. 'Send' it (press enter).

iOS (iPhone)

  1. Download Web Inspector Safari extension.
  2. After successfully running the extension, switch over to console tab
  3. Paste the script
  4. 'Send' it (press the 'Enter' button on your keyboard).

Note:

  • Refresh the page if you tap the "i" button and nothing happens.
  • Some scripts might require disabling "block pop-ups" in Safari settings.

Android (other phones)

  1. Download Kiwi Browser
  2. Open the 3 dots menu
  3. Scroll down and open Developer tools
  4. Switch over to console tab
  5. Paste the script
  6. 'Send' it (press the 'Enter' button on your keyboard)


Non-DevTools method

If you can't use developer tools, you can try those methods.


URL method

  1. Click on the url bar
  2. Delete all text there
  3. Paste the bookmark version script
  4. Type javascript: at the beginning of the script
  5. Press the 'Enter' button as if you were trying to search it

The whole thing should look something like this: javascript:bookmark_version


Bookmark method

You can also use it as bookmark (remember to redo the process of getting the script and bookmarking it every time you play different quiz).

  1. Copy the bookmark version script
  2. Open bookmarks bar (if you don't see it, press Ctrl + Shift + B on PC / Laptop)
  3. Drag and drop the bookmark version script to the bookmarks bar
  4. Go to the site you want to execute the script on
  5. Click on the bookmark in the bookmarks bar


Any issues?

If neither DevTools nor the bookmark/url method works, executing scripts may be disabled on your device/browser. It usually happens on devices (often Chromebook), that you got from school.
