It looks like there are even bigger problems then just working around the ID tag; the url for the contact list is ALSO randomly generated, so the AJAX request fails. Basically, the Gmail Contact List script appears to be broken.

I started to poke around the new version of Gmail with Firebug and XPath Checker. A simple //td[text() = 'To:'] will get you the "To:" element. I see you use a lot of id tags. But since they are randomly generated by Google, you'll probably need to use their actual text values. Another thing: The reply/forward table only shows up when you reply/forward a message, not when you're creating a new one. Therefore, the check will fail when someone is composing from scratch. A better way might be to check for the "Add Cc" link with //span[text() = 'Add Cc']

I tried updating the script myself, but it's a little hairy without comments. I'd be more then happy to help you with the DOM/XPath stuff if you'd want to work together.

Love to see this updated to work with GMail 2.0 as well as the newest version of Firefox 3 (beta 4)

Seems useful

Thanks!

Same thing here... not working with new version of Gmail.

aint working on Gmail2.0

I wondered why this wasn't working for me (guess I should have read the comments), I'm using v2 of Gmail too.

Now that I can sign into AIM through Gmail, I was wondering if someone would take the time to create a script that would make that application a little more user friendly. It seems to be too crammed into that left sidebar, and there are only so many things you can do with it, for example you can't view recent conversations by just clicking on the buddy; instead you have to click the "Chat" link and try to find the one your looking for. If you're like me, and you use AIM a lot, than you'd know that gmail needs to refine that application.

I am using GMail 2.0, so that solves it. Thanks.

Not working for me. I've tried disabling of other GM scripts without success; the icons do not appear, so I can't access the contacts box.
