I often use a couple of paragraphs of Lipsum when testing forms containing <textarea> tags and have had this bookmarklet I cobbled together sitting on my Bookmarks Toolbar for a while now.

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to hook it up to a HTML 5 form to let you customise how many paragraphs of Lipsum you want each time you click it. So that’s what I went and did:

Lorem Ipsum Bookmarklet Generator

Hopefully it’ll save you a few mouse clicks next time you’re testing some forms.

(Please note that the form used in the generator uses the <input type="range" /> HTML 5 tag which currently works best in the latest version of Opera. YMMV when using other browsers).
