This script does not seem to work, and it appears that nobody is maintaining it, so I created an updated version (incorporating David Reese's fix) and have posted it here:

With today's version (says updated Oct 26 05), it works:
= With this as "included pages" in the options: *nytimes.com*

and with this line replacing line 9 of the js:
var xpath = "//a[(contains(@href,'.html')) and (not(contains(@href,'index.html')))]";

(the second part, contains index.html, is cosmetic -- links to the sections (national, int'l, etc) aren't touched.

I'll send a note to the owner.

I reinstalled it today (10/12/05) and get the same result. Too bad, the idea is a good one but it needs to work reliably to be useful.

Trying to open the link in a new tab still just brings up the page with article but I still have to click on the printer friendly format to get it to reload in printer format.

I am trying to get this to work, but even changing the included files to *NYtimes* and it still just brings up the standard page with the link to the printer friendly page.

I stand corrected, it works. I did add *nytimes* to included pages.

Doesn't seem to work, also doesn't specify a URL. Please fix!
