auto save to drafts, replied by langware

langware — Sat, 03 Oct 2009 19:30:07 +0000

Hotmail has recently added an "auto save to drafts" feature. New messages being composed are automatically saved in the Drafts folder every three minutes.

Users are not given an option to change the three minute interval.

I searched through the HTML for the New Message Compose page and found this line of code:
autoSaveDraft : { interval: 3 },

.... which is included in a script.

This line of code looks like it controls the three minute interval.

I am a novice script writer and cannot figure out how to change the above line of text (that is part of a script in the HTML that Hotmail generates) in order to increase or decrease interval that messages are automatically saved.

Can anyone offer some suggestion on how I could write a user script that could modify the above line of code?

Can the existing Windows Live Ad Remover be modified to change the three minute interval used by Hotmails "auto save to drafts"?

The above line of code is found in this context within the HTML generated by Hotmail (new message compose page):

ComposePage = {

other code

autoSaveDraft : { interval: 3 },

more code

}

In the Arabic version of hotmail (and may be Hebrew also ) the ads appear in the left side , and because of that this script does not work

Firefox 3.0.7
Script downloaded from here last week (userscripts.org/scripts/show/8228)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this, but I can't get the script working entirely. The following is what I tried:

-First,I put in a test line at the end of the script to make sure it running.
-got 'the wlar script is running'
-I unchecked enable adblock plus
*still have white space
-I uninstalled Ad Block Plus
-restarted firefox
-reloaded
*still not full page

settings:
greasemonkey has checkmark next to enabled

under manage userscripts:
enabled box is check marked
windowslive adremover included pages:
http://*.mail.live.com/*

Has anyone noticed a new 'skyscraper' ad on the right column? the script doesn't seem to block it. Great script, btw.

I realise this maybe outside the scope of an Ad Remover but does anyone know how to remove the 'Quick Add' bar that appears during editing of message in live mail. I'm sure everyone will agree it just takes up valuable space and isn't really necessary.

If only this had the same update checking function as GoogleMonkeyR has, then the script would be nearly perfect.

For some reason, it doesn't work in my Hotmail, though I'm sure that it's because of me and not your awesome script writing skillz.

Thanks Again, MS!

Hey Bob,
You can ignore my last comment about the version of Greasemonkey. My testing dept !) obviously forgot to check the script with the "Classic" version of windows live!
Please try reinstalling and thanks for the bug report!

Hey Bob,
That's interesting, I'm running Firefox/2.0.0.3 with Greasemonkey 0.6.8.20070314.0 and have scroll bars on my long emails.
It looks like your using an older version of Greasemonkey that doesn't support GM_addStyle.
I'll look into this asap and update the script.

The script has taken away the scroll bars, unable to scroll any long emails :-(
