Why DOM specifically? Aren't both canvas and WebGL well suited for 2D/3D? re: three.js, etc.?

You shouldn't try to fit your code in that bookmarklet...! Updatability issues aside (your original, server-loaded approach is absolutely valid), there definitely are limits to a bookmarklet's size, j…

Perhaps the GP wants to make sure that the code keeps working, regardless of the server's availability, etc...? dazbradbury -- Host a local copy of http://fontbomb.ilex.ca/js/main.js and you should …
