Answer 1

3 questions :

• Why cant you get the input value : there is no reason why it does not work, almost certainly you are looking for the wrong id.

• Do bookmarklets work on HTTPS : absolutely, HTTPS is not the problem

• Can I make it work on https sites : if you provide a code sample, we might be able to tell you what is wrong with it.

I know this is a pretty old question, but since I came across it while searching for a similar problem, I will add my thoughts. If you wrote your own bookmarklet, this is most likely caused by your bookmarklet trying to access insecure content. If you have other static content that your bookmarklet references on your own server, such as HTML, JS, CSS, or image files, the browser will block that content from loading. This is because of the Same Origin Policy. This question is also discussed in this question. If you, or someone else viewing this is having the same problem, attempt to serve your content up as https or access only other content that is https.
