Google Reader Clicked Is Read

Script Summary: Mark items in Google Reader expanded view as read when clicked



Script for Google Reader marks an item as read if the title link is clicked, when in expanded view.

grclickedisread works by setting an event handler for all active title links that precede and follow the current item, as set by Google Reader. It starts at the first entry if no current item is set. The event handler is triggered by a click on the item’s title link, and simulates a click on the Mark as read checkbox for that item.

It may happen that a quick scroll and click occurs too rapidly for the Google Reader Clicked is Read script to process, but this should be a rare event. Worst case is, for that click, Google Reader behaves as it does without the script, that is, the item is not marked as read.
