JS BookMarklet convert GRO Birth to WT ready detail and source

A working copy of the script can be found here.

This Javascript bookmarklet is to be manually added to a browser (currently tested on firefox only) bookmark. When on the GRO website (UK General Registry Office) with an active birth result, click this bookmark to activate the radio buttons (this has to be done with every new birth result's page). There is no obvious change to the page but when a radio button is clicked a textbox appears with data from the birth clicked formated into a wikitree biography ready format with an adequate source included - just copy and paste into the person's wt profile.

Development aspect:-

• looking to add a textbox into which a Name (first name xx surname), sex and birth year can be pasted and textbox.onBlur the script will automatically populate the GRO search input parameters with the details in order to facilitate ease of next search.
• Example
