we want to provide an online bookmark service to our customers. Therefor it would be nice to provide also a function to store local bookmarks into our online tool. This shouldn't be done automatically - the user should confirm this action (only in case someone thinks I want to spy users data).
I'm looking for a while now, but I found only that there is no solution, because it's a security risk. Is there a way or already a tool for such a functionality in Javascript?
Regards
This is completely impossible.
You need to write a browser addon.
Is there a way or already a tool for such a functionality in Javascript?
Nope, definitely not. Maybe for browser extensions - if it's possible even for them.
No there isn't any solution to do this via javascript. The only solution I can think of is to use a Java Applet to read the client's computer and look for the bookmark.
Another way is you can ask them to export their favorites to a file and upload to your website.
Prompt the user to upload the bookmarks file: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/chrome/i1r3CgqvgCI

I’ve just creat a web game by a video tutorial(I’m learning html-css-js).
Now I have created it, how can I make the web game to have a link, so I can show to others with a link my web game.
Thank you!!
There are so many ways to show your work to friends.
1. Actually host your game by registering a domain name and hosting. This way everyone can search web and find your game.
check netlify they provide free hosting, you just need to have a github repo of your game or otherwise you can just upload entire folder on their site.
2.You can also try online code editors like codepen, jsfiddle and share urls of your code.
You need to host it on a server. In my opinion, the easiest way is to use a cloud provider (AWS, GCP, Azure) host it on an instance and get a public IP. You can go ahead and register it with a domain.

I want to be able to create a new html file that will be displayed and saved on the server for future use when a new user logs into their account. Can this be done using JavaScript or are there any libraries that I could get that would be able to do this?
This can be done through use of the fs module in node. See https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html.
However, it is very likely that this is not the best solution to the problem your solving. Instead of creating a new html file for every user, you probably want to save user details in a database and have a single html file that can be populated with the data when it's needed.
This is not possible with JavaScript alone unless you use Node.js. Otherwise will need PHP or a similar server-side language.
If you go that route, here is a nice tutorial that may be beneficial to you:

Is there any web API that takes a URL and gives back the readable content of that page? Or is there any javascript library that can do this?
Installing node.js or any server-side app is not possible.
That's actually a really hard problem. Such questions usually imply that you want sidebars and similar 'noise' elements excluded. This is often solved with different training sets within the machine learning computer domain and it's not easy to develop.
Having said that - take a look at:
http://www.alchemyapi.com/api/scrape/
http://www.readability.com/developers/api
http://www.diffbot.com/
This should help you to learn enough about the space that you'll be able to do better searches for you problem domain.
I think you could find some related services on Mashape (http://www.mashape.com/).
Search for 'text'. Like this: https://www.mashape.com/search?query=text
There are several NLP / Analysis providers there, and most of them are freemium.
OTOH, there's also a project called boilerpipe. You can test its quality at the URL below:

I would like to make a web scraping application that is able to log in to a website (I was able to do this with twill (python)), and also to be able to execute JavaScript which trigger access to other pages.
I would definitely prefer to use something in python, but I am ready to try something new. I have installed mechanize, watir, Hojocki, etc. but not sure if this really helps.
I'd recommend PhantomJS.
It's a full Webkit browser, but headless and scriptable.
It's ideal for this sort of thing.
I believe there are a few modules (such as Ghost), but I have used Selenium/WebDriver for things like this. It is ostensibly a testing framework, but it provides you with a lot of methods to allow you to interact with the page just as if you had loaded it as a normal user. You also have the benefit of running it so that a browser actually opens and you can watch the code execute (makes debugging easier), or in a 'headless' mode where the code just executes (there are other sites/SO answers with much better explanations than I can give :) ).
That being said, Ghost looks great as well, so try them both and hopefully one will get you what you need!
Also, see Javascript (and HTML rendering) engine without a GUI for automation? for a similar question that may have some additional answers.
I would recommend Octoparse, a free web scraper for Windows.
It's not programmble but it's very easy to use. But there's no Mac version.So...
JavaScript can be handled by Octoparse btw.

What I want to do is have control over the streams so I can send them wherever I want, have it interface w/a mic and cam, and the ability to capture and record them. At this point I don't have any specific specs or limitations. It will be used in a commercial project so the license must allow for that. Free and OSS is preferably, but commercial and proprietary is not out of the question if it's worth it.
I don't see html5 as a viable solution at this point so I'm assuming it's going to rely on flash which is fine, but I do not know actionscript. I'm not opposed to learning it, and assume I could pick it up fine within a week, but keep that in mind. If I have to build something myself from the actionscript libraries (I assume they provide enough functionality) I can do so, but I'm hoping for a quicker solution than that.
Aside from the flash applet, you would have to integrate it with a server running Flash Media Server, SmartFox Server, etc
Flash has had webcam support built in for awhile. Checkout their help pages at: Adobe
