MySpace - Seifer's Auto Update!

Have your MySpace home page always up-to-date without refreshing it! Author: Seifer.

Yes this is like InsaneNinja's Home Auto-Update but it's done in a completely different way.

It shouldn't have as many problems when MySpace do changes to the homepage.
Try it out :)

Should work with any re-arrangement script.
(Tested with Customize It!)

@kidkilowatt: That is what I was thinking. I used to use that to refresh the page, and I believe I'm going to start again.

isn't this script kind of overload, unless you plan to add more functionality to it? right now it basically just reloads the page every minute right? i think the firefox add-on ReloadEvery does a good job of reloading pages at specified intervals (Tab Mix Plus has this function also)

i've actually been plotting to pull the iframe trick. I've always thought it might be a helper.
But doesnt grabbing the existing elements do basically the same as i'm currently doing?

This doesn't seem to actually be refreshing the notifications. I have to manually refresh in order to get them.

@Kizzeny
No there isn't a "quick fix" you can use to do that.. it's a little more involved.
The initial release refreshed every 20 seconds.. I've now delayed it to update once a minute.
If your tab constantly says loading that means its not refreshing correctly because your connection or browser isn't rendering it fast enough.
Install the script again to have update every 60 seconds.
InsaneNinja's script doesn't cause the tab to say Loading because his works in a different way to mine.

@Joe B.
I suggest you just grab my Customize It! script and configure it to your liking to fix your problem.
Otherwise you'll have to wait for InsaneNinja to update his script or for MySpace to go back to the old method of showing updates.

I use Platypus to hide some things on my homepage, and every time this script refreshes, it undoes the changes I made. Is there a way to auto-update without actually refreshing the page?

hey the updating works like a champion, awesome work....

however, it doesn't combine all the friend things into one and add scroll bars like insane ninjas and i was wondering if there's a quick fix for that i could edit in for that...?

also, i can see the tab constantly refreshing.... (in the tab bar, it shows the loading symbol; the page doesn't actually seem to refresh though) It's not a problem, and i'm not sure if insane ninja's script did that or not, i was just curious is all....

but hey, seriously awesome work, does the basic parts right, even with myspace constantly messin around

Hi there
No, this is a replacement.

It doesn't yet support Online friends.

It updates
Your profile pic/views
Friend Status
Friend Updates
Bulletin Board
Updates
and top friends (eg so you know when your top friends are online)

So we are supposed to run this alongside InsaneNinja's script, correct?
If not, I would like to see the Online Friends and Friend Updates included in this script. And if that doesn't happen, I'll wait for the other script to sort itself out.

You could comment on this script if you were logged in.
