How to turn a javascript bookmark into a hyperlink online

I have some bookmarks in chrome which dynamically create hyperlinks based on the current day. I would like to do this online instead (so i can just email a link for example). How can I do this?

One possibility raised is to use JSfiddle, but i am not familiar with the commands - can someone help here?

Thanks

Here you go

Click run, then copy link out of textbox

Thanks. I don't want to have to copy paste etc, just a link that works straight off - is this possible?

When the site owner wants such a behavior, the normal thing would be an URL route on the server (http://bla.com/whatever/current).

I don't see your use-case. But maybe one of those URL shorten services can do this for you.

thanks i tried a few shortener services and they all say "URL not valid".

Thanks Michel, that's useful. I'll probably put that on my website then.

I notice that the main file sharing services (OneDrive, Dropbox, Drive) do not seem to allow webpages to be hosted for viewing - I assume this is deliberate.

I am not sure what you mean. If I search for host webpage Dropbox I do get quite a few hits

Thanks. I guess it can be done but it's not just drag and drop. I'll try the public/site option ...

...no luck, looks like dropbox have finally deprecated that feature as they said they would with the entire public folder option.
