Javascript/bookmarklet not doing the same thing

Question

document.getElementById('channel_actions').innerHTML =     document.getElementById('channel_actions').innerHTML + '<button id = "toggleButton" style =     "position: absolute;height:32px;margin-left:0px" onclick = "toggleOverlay();">Start Overlay</button>';

How come when I do this in my chrome console it adds on to the page like expected but when I make it a bookmarklet this is the only thing it shows. It almost seems like the bookmarklet is calling document.write(My code) or something. Any help is appreciated.

Are you prefacing the bookmarklet with javascript:?

The old way: javascript:/*your code*/; void(0);

Best practice: javacript:(function(){ /*your code*/ })();

Yes I am using the best practice way. But why is it giving me different results when i use a proper bookmarklet vrs inputing it directly into google chrome? – user2939924 Oct 31 '13 at 18:42
Then you need to be more clear next time and show that. You waste people's time. – DG. Oct 31 '13 at 23:43

I've figured it out. for some reason i need to make a function start and instead of making the button pop up i use set timeout(start,100) and it worked.
