@netawater - I'm pretty sure that JoachimLous just meant that you should be careful if your bookmarklet code opens any alerts or "Popups" (like: window.alert("sometext");, alert("sometext");, window.confirm("sometext");, confirm("sometext");, window.prompt("sometext","defaultText"); or prompt("sometext","defaultText");), Before your code that writes to the clipboard. If you don't use alerts or prompts, or if you use them After your code that writes to the clipboard, you don't (shouldn't) have to worry about restoring the focus, you can ignore the ....focus(); stuff.

| Oct 31, 2020 at 11:18 | comment | added | Joachim Lous | @kevin-fegan Bookmarklets need to return something falsy, unless you want the browser to replace the current page with the return value. This particular code already does, but it is standard practice to always explicitly null the return value so you are safe from any changes triggering that trap. There are many ways to ensure this - I prefer returning an explicit null or false. | |

Also, since this is for a bookmarklet, everything is "compressed" (joined) to one line, so using // in a bookmarklet is a problem. I think /* comment */ should work fine.

What is the purpose of null; in ;null; ?
