I'm using this script...
http://userstyles.org/styles/9844

And I tried with 2 or 3 columns in result, but the problem continues....

...I think that when the results of the first page are short and have space to load more results, the AutoPagerize Script tries to load the second page immediately, but Google Extras has not loaded completely, when it appears, it does at the bottom of the results.. if I try to go down to see the Google Extra contents, the AutoPagerize does its work and load the third page, so Google Extra go down one more time.

This is the reason because I ask to you if its possible to add a code to make the Google Extras box blocked on the first page.

Thanks for your time and I wish you great successes.

@tonyaross: Thanks for the comment, I'll definitely look at fixing this when I get home from work tonight. It sounds like it should just be a simple one-liner fix.

I cannot launch any video links from the search results. Error message, "server cannot find, Firefox can't find the server at video.google.comhttp." It looks like the "http" part of the link is in the wrong order.

It's a great script otherwise.

@-=[ KaaMoS ]=- : Can you please give an example of a page you're having problems with. I personally have never experienced a problem like this. Also, I believe there are other sciipts that will display google results in multiple columns that are compatible with this script.

 
KaaMoS User

So I have a problem, in some cases, the "Google Extra" Box dissapears of the top-right of the result page, actually it moves down, at the bottom of results when I scroll down.

But the problem is worse if I go to the next page (for example, using AutoPagerize), because the "Google Extra" Box moves at the end again, and again... so I can't select any result from the "Google Extra" with the cursor.

I repeat, this problem happens on the 35%-45% of the times.

I don't know if you can add a code for showing the "Google Extra" Box blocked/fixed on its original position into the results page in order to fix that error.

On other hand, I don't know if you can add some codes for showing "multicolumn"Google results, so I have a wide LCD monitor and I'm wasting a lot of space on the middle of the results page (by this way we can organize the free spaces).

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

@znerp:
Thanks. Because I can't use the feature pronunciation, I removed dictionary.com from the script.

 
znerp Script's Author

@switzerland: I've had a more detailed look, and it looks like the white 'p' on a red background signified that that feature is only available for Premium subscribers to dictionary.com. If you are a premium subscriber though, or you would still like to see the image, you can simply change line 717 of the script to...

dict.replace(/href=\"\//g, "href=\"http://dictionary.reference.com/").replace(/<\/?noscript>/ig, "") +

@switzerland: I'm at work at the moment and my screenshot's been blocked by our over-zealous internet access policy. I'll have a look when I get home, but I would imagine that possibly the dictionary.com interface has changed in the past year since I took the screenshot hence the lack of this white p. With respect to the speaker image, as I said before - I don't know if this is possible or if it's ever actually worked with this script.

@znerp
I saw this white p on red background and the loudspeaker in your screenshot right above. I don't know what this p stands for, I just wanted you to know, that two things don't work on this site. I didn't use dictionary.com yet, but I wanted to use the feature pronunciation.

 
znerp Script's Author

@switzerland: I can't see what you mean by the white p on red background. Could you give me an example word where this should show? I've tried to get the loudspeaker to appear, but I think because it uses an embedded flash object it wouldn't be possible to play the sound.

 
switzerland User

Hi znerp
Very nice and helpful script, works almost perfect.
Little problem: On dictionary.com the white p on red background and the loudspeaker-icon don't appear. Using Firefox 3.01, AdBlock Plus deactivated. What shall I do?
Thanks, switzerland

@kaamos: I've installed this GoogleMonkeyR script and I can see the problem you're having (as per Ronen's pictures), but I also have the exact same problem with it running over sponsored links too. Perhaps you should take this up with the author of that script.

 
Ronen Mendez... User

for me google extra and googlemonkeyR work together.
if you use more than 2 columns they just run over one another, here's an example with 3 columns:

same search with 2 columns works fine:

KaaMoS User

Sorry, now it isn't working well with GoogleMonkeyR
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/9310

So I can't left the number of columns on search results as I choose.

For example, on GoogleMonkeyR I select three columns on search results and works well...
...but when I turn on Google Extra, I can see only one column instead of three.

Thank you so much, I hope that this problem could be fixed soon :)

zingzing User

Ronen Mendez... User

@zingzing

try installing CustomizeGoogle:
http://www.customizegoogle.com/

this should get rid of the ads and works for me with google extra

 
zingzing User

thanx ... this is really nice script but sometimes sponsored links appear :s
do u have any idea how can I get rid of it?

 
fusen Scriptwright

is there any chance you could maybe style it the same as this old non-updated script; http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11888

I've started using your script since the author of linked script hasn't updated but I found his script looked a little prettier :P

good work though, I'm glad someone is still there to help out the rest of us :)

 
Ronen Mendez... User

thank you , i'll post it there

 
znerp Script's Author

@Ronen: I don't know an easy way to do that off the top of my head, but if you really want this then I suggest you pose the same question on the Forums section of this website.

 
Ronen Mendez... User

I didn't know how to send you this question privately, so i'll ask here.
This is my front page to google right now:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v613/ronen82/...

very nice and clean, got the little links you put in with google extra a little modified to my liking.
But I noticed there was lots of space underneath the whole search itself that is unused, and thought maybe add a preview box to gmail there. i know it's silly since i have a gmail link with the click of a button, just wondering if doing it as a preview is possible:
