Transfer all your Facebook Contacts to your Cell

Chad sent in his recent project which allows you to easily transfer all your Facebook contacts to your cell phone. Basically copy and paste javascript and it will automatically convert your contacts into something your cell phone can understand.
If you’re using Firefox 3, this will turn the phonebook page into a vcard file, so copy and paste it into a file, give it a vcf extension, and open it with Mac OS X Address book and import all the people. Then, sync your phone with your computer over bluetooth using iSync or some equivalent in linux.

Basically, you go to http://www.facebook.com/mobile/phonebook and paste this javascript in the URL:

javascript: var s=”"; for each(person in document.getElementsByClassName(“info”)) { if(person.firstChild) { s+=”BEGIN:VCARD VERSION:3.0 “; var fullname = person.firstChild.firstChild.innerHTML.split(” “); var firstname = fullname[0]; var surname = fullname[1]; s+=”N:”+surname+”;”+firstname+”;;; “; s+=”FN:”+firstname+” “+surname+” “; var phone=person.childNodes[1].innerHTML; var phonenumber = phone.substring(0,phone.search(“<span")).replace(/./g,"-"); if(phone.search("M“) != -1) { s+=”TEL;type=CELL;type=pref:”+phonenumber+” “; } else if(phone.search(“L“) != -1) { s+=”TEL;type=HOME;type=pref:”+phonenumber+” “; } if(person.childNodes[2]) { phone=person.childNodes[2].innerHTML; phonenumber = phone.substring(0,phone.search(“<span")).replace(/./g,"-"); if(phone.search("M“) != -1) { s+=”TEL;type=CELL;type=pref:”+phonenumber+” “; } else if(phone.search(“L“) != -1) { s+=”TEL;type=HOME;type=pref:”+phonenumber+” “; } } s+=”END:VCARD “; } } document.write(s);
