script error, replied by md5sum

Nope, that's my fault. I'll add it to my list and get it fixed in the next release. Sorry.

I just installed the script and went to the Woot page. When I clicked on "I Want One" I got this error:

TypeError: document.getElementsByTagName("h3")[0].firstChild.childNodes[1] is undefined

Is this because there is not a woot-off at this time?

I'm planning on having it done some time next week, but since this is just a pet project, I'm not entirely sure. I've had a little extra thrown on my plate at work the last week or so, and so work on this has had to be cut back.

If you have the latest copy of the script, you'll get notification when you visit woot.com when I update the script again. Thanks!

Guessing there is no time frame?

Not yet. I'll be trying to get that done for the next release though.

Hello,

Did anything get finalized with this script when using paypal as the payment source on the order page?

Absolutely! Once the test feature is in place, I'd be happy to hear from anyone who runs the test and has it fail on them. Just drop me a line through the email feature on this site.

I'm not sure on the null thing... My Mac had that problem, but my PC did not. I'll be taking a little more of a look at the few issues there were and be sending out a new patch in the very near future. For now though, you can still enjoy the other features :-) And if anyone see something that isn't working, either during a WootOff, or at any time, feel free to drop me a line through the email feature of the site!

I had the same result as wee_ag. Is that also due to Woot's new redirect?

I think the test is a good idea. My gut tells me that Woot will change things again (like the forwarding issue for this WootOff). By having the ability to test the script at the beginning of a WootOff, it will increase the likelihood of success.

Again, thanks for a great script.

sound effects, replied by Strangeite

A sound alert would be a helpful addition. I found myself running a VNC client on my iPhone so that I could turn off the screen saver on my computer, just so I could keep on eye from my couch if a BOC showed up.

(Yes I am aware that it would have been easier to just turn off my screen saver, but I will admit that I was stupid enough not to think of this).

I wasn't at the computer when the BOC hit but when I came back to the computer the tabs I had open were trying going to "www.woot.comnull" - not sure where the 'null' at the end came from.

I can put a test button in there for you before the next WootOff. And that'll help me in making sure everything works at the beginning of each WootOff, too!

OK, then how about this: Instead of going to the order page automatically with each new woot, how about activating the script if I press the I Want One button, bringing me to the final confirmation page. That way I can test that it is working during a woot-off.

Not really, although in a way it will. Leaving the page will stop any running javascript. However, the script should be able to pick up where it left off and continue the order process for you.

Will pressing the I Want One button cancel the script?

@dba - The security code feature didn't work because of the missing sslwww include. It's fixed now.

When the BOC popped up, nothing seemed to happen for a few seconds, so I pressed the I Want One button. Did my action cancel this script? When I got to the buy page, my security code wasn't there. In the future should I avoid pressing the I Want One button?

Ah! Well, hopefully it will work for the next woot-off. See you in a month or so.

Ummm... I'm going to go ahead and place my vote for no on this one.

The security code feature didn't work because of the missing sslwww include. It's fixed now. The missing sslwww include made the script not eligible to function on the order page.

It could be made an option, but it would be useless I believe for the vast majority of users who need to eat, work, sleep, etc. and can't keep canceling Woot script buys every few minutes. BUT, in the interest of satisfying the majority, if I can get 200 unique user (about 40% of the users) comments of "Yes" votes on this thread, I'll implement it as an optional feature. So, greasemonkey users... GET INVOLVED!

Plus, the security code feature failed to work on mine as well. Anyone ever actually have success with one of these?

Bummed.

It failed, but not due to the number. Woot automatically fixes that. The failure came from the fact that Woot has added a mandatory forward to their https://sslwww from the standard https://www for this wootoff... I've fixed it and pushed out an update.

Hopefully we'll all get our Random Crap soon...
