Server not found? Try and try again!

(2006-04-17)

"Server not found?" Well naturally you didn't type the address incorrectly. Heck, we're all more or less nerds here so typing isn't a very error prone process. Regardless of the reason for the inability of firefox to load the page you're looking for (your network is acting lame, your internet sucks, the website's overburdened or the websites host is run out of the back of the Knight Rider truck...) of course you want firefox to try again! No more clicking the little button, it'll do it by itself. Every 5 seconds. Until you tell it to stop. Simple.

Sorry for the horribly delayed reply... the reason for the * is that greasemonkey filters at the web-adress level and not at the resulting page. This means that if not all webadresses are included (hence the *) the resulting error page will not have the script applied to it. Therefore all adresses must be included but only when the error page is returned in the address bar should the script do anything. That way the script always runs when you need it most!

Very nice!

Just one question: why does it have a * for the website address and then do a substr as the first line?
