No Meta Refresh

Stop all pages from auto refreshing

May 15, 2006 n0nick Scriptwright	I just had to have this script useful so I did this: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4097 I simply duplicated the code for each of the cases: refresh, Refresh, REFRESH.

Apr 9, 2006 Pirateshark Script's author	It turns out that Firefox doesn't support the lower-case() function of xpath, so I used the trasnlate function. The script should work on all pages now (regardless of capitalization in 'refresh'). If anybody finds differently, let me know. @Wulf: when you install the script you should get a dialog that allows you to include and exclude websites. By adding sites to these lists, you can make it only work on a list of websites. The default is for all sites, but you can change that.

Mar 31, 2006 Wulf User	Is there any way to get this to only work on one (or a list of) website(s)? Thanks

Mar 21, 2006 Pirateshark Script's author	Yes, this is a known problem that I documented in my comment. The issue is that being html, the 'refresh' tag can have any capitalization. I left it as 'Refresh' because that is what nytimes.com uses, whereas drudgereport.com uses 'refresh'. Using the lower-case() function is crashing my javascript whatever, with the error code in the comment below. If you want it to work for the drudgereport.com you can change the capitalization of refresh on the line: var refresh = document.evaluate("//meta[@http-equiv='Refresh']", in the source. When I get a chance, I will look into this error and hopefully it will be useful on any site.

Mar 21, 2006 Webb User	This is a great idea but it doesn't work. DrudgeReport.com, which refreshes every 200 seconds, ignored it.

Mar 20, 2006 Pirateshark Script's author	This script has been tested (briefly) and works in windows and linux for the nytimes.com. However, my javascript interpreter has been crashing when I try to use the lower-case() (or upper-case()) function to make this viable for all sites. The error is: Error: Component returned failure code: 0x8060000e [nsIDOMXPathEvaluator.evaluate] Source File: nometarefresh.user.js Line: 337 Source Code: 337
