Javascript - Create own bookmark website with prompt?

Question

I just started to learn Javascript and basically I wanted to create a bookmark on Google Chrome where I basically just want to do:

"www.hello" + i + ".com"

so basically open up a prompt where I myself enter what I want "i" to be and then it should then add up so etc:

i = world

end: www.helloworld.com (Automatic open it up).

I assume this is beginner level but I have just learned and I just know how to open up a prompt at this moment.

javascript:(()=>{let i=prompt("Enter "i" for website ,")

and now I dont know how to continue to make it add for a website.

For starters, you'll have to escape the double quotes around i in that string with backslashes. `"Enter \"i\" for website"` — Domino, Nov 09 '17 at 15:50

That's very simple..

Just copy paste the code below and save it in your bookmark and give it a try..

javascript:var websiteName = prompt("Enter \"i\" for website..");var url = "http://www.hello"+websiteName+".com";window.location.href = url;

Note that javascript: at the front will be automatically removed when you copy and paste the code manually in url bar. So save it once in bookmark and use.

You can pretty much use whatever you would normally put between <script> tags on your page. So this:

var i = prompt("Enter website:", "");
if (i == null || i == "") {
    //add whatever action you would like when user cancels
} else {
    window.open("https://www."+ i +".com");
}

Becomes this (minus the comments):

javascript: var i = prompt("Enter website:", ""); if (i == null || i == "") { } else { window.open("https://www."+ i +".com"); }
