Simple Amazon wishlist display

MTAmazon is often used to insert a person’s wishlist into their page. If you don’t want to go to the trouble of installing MTAmazon to display your wishlist, or if you don’t use MT, here’s simple way to put your wishlist on any web page.

All you need to do is get the URL of your Amazon wishlist by going to Amazon’s wishlist page and looking up your email address. Once you find your list, copy the URL of the page you are on.

Then insert this simple bit of JavaScript code into your page…

<script src="http://kalsey.com/tools/amazon/wishlist/YOUR-WISHLIST-URL" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>

…and replace “YOUR-WISHLIST-URL” with your actual wishlist URL. For example, the JavaScript for my wishlist is…

<script src="http://kalsey.com/tools/amazon/wishlist/
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/registry/9TPZE7QC6FP/" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>

This bit of JavaScript takes the top ten items from my wishlist and inserts it into my page like so:

You can also have a look at my AmazonBox which lets you display your wishlist and, with a small hack, allows people to purchase an item for you and send it to you.
