US_update





This script is now combined with all others into US Framework!
Please uninstall this script and download the framework.

Information below will stay as documentation.



$1 Intro:

I'm working on a Userscript framework (US_framework), which contains 4 parts:

This script will contain the 4th part for update checking.

News and information you can find on this page, but all explanation about the functions can you find on my personal site.

Please scroll down to $3 Install on how to install this script.

$2 News:

After this install there shouldn't be a reason to every time update this script to the latest versions of the other scripts.

Off course these scripts are in Beta stage and errors/bugs can occur. Please post these a.s.a.p. so I can fix them.

Have fun using it, gr Jerone

$8 In Use:

Just leave a comment if you're using this script too and want to be added above.

$9 Notes:

I made this userscript in Dreamweaver 8.
It's tested in Firefox 2 (partly) and Firefox 3.0.5 (continuous) with GreaseMonkey 0.8.
This script is copyrighted and I prefer if you ask if you can 'borrow' parts of this script.
Installing is at own risk and I can't be held responsible if anything goes wrong.
Want to reward me for putting time and sweat into making this free userscript; (thank you).
