Do you have a script for fantasy football on yahoo? I really enjoy what you have put togrther for baseball and was wondering if you have the same for football. Thanks again and please let me know.

hey glenn i know my question has nothing to do with this script but i couldnt find your email anywhere

so i was wondering if you could create this script except for baseball it is a bench all players without a game script

http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6716

that is the script link

and here is the actual script

// ==UserScript==
// @name Yahoo Fantasy NBA Bench All
// @namespace http://mattandchristy.net/benchall
// @description Provides a button to bench all players without a game
// @include http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/*...=*
// @include http://basketball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/nba/*...
// ==/UserScript==
//
// Change log:
// 2006-12-10 Initial version of script; used Yahoo Fantasy NBA Game Log Link
// as a base to start developing

var doBench = function(event) {

var allElements;
var thisElement;
var playerLink = "http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/"
var gameLogLink;


allElements = document.evaluate(
"//*[contains(@class, 'player')]/..",
document,
null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE,
null);

// burn the first two rows; they are headers, not players
for (var i = 2; i < allElements.snapshotLength; i++) {

thisElement = allElements.snapshotItem(i);

tds = thisElement.getElementsByTagName('td');
nameNode = tds[1];
if(nameNode) {
// td div a textnode value
name = nameNode.firstChild.firstChild.firstChild.nodeValue;

// get the opponent TD's innerHTML; text node won't work because
// the ? for 'no opponent' gets translated to a character =/
opp = tds[3].innerHTML;

if(opp == '?') {

newPosSelectNode = tds[2].firstChild;
// select the 'BN' node for these guys (last option)
newPosSelectNode.selectedIndex = newPosSelectNode.length-1;

GM_log("Benching " + name);
}
}
}

// stop event propagation, if this was a click
if(event) {
event.stopPropagation();
event.preventDefault();
}
}

/* gameLogLink = document.createElement('a'); */
/* gameLogLink.setAttribute("href",thisElement.href + "/gamelog") */
/* //gameLogLink.setAttribute("class","cellindent") */
/* gameLogLink.setAttribute("target","_blank") */
/* gameLogLink.setAttribute("title","game log link") */
/* gameLogLink.innerHTML = "" */
/* thisElement.parentNode.insertBefore(gameLogLink, thisElement.nextSibling.nextSibling); */

var BENCHBUTTON_ID = "bencherButton";
var BENCHBUTTON_TEXT = "[Bench players with no game]";

// create the bench button
var bencher = document.createElement("A");
bencher.addEventListener("click", doBench, true);

// attach the bench button right before the "submit changes" button
// at the bottom of the screen
var buttonBar = document.getElementById('buttonbar');
var inputs = buttonBar.getElementsByTagName('input');
var submitButton = inputs[inputs.length-1]
buttonBar.insertBefore(bencher, submitButton);

Is there anything I could do to be able to get the free update to update the league standings and maybe even the league full standings page? I think it would be very useful to be able to click on the full standings and watch my progress soar above the rest of the league. Alright maybe not soar but it would be nice to be able to track my progress instead of having to go into each teams page and go back to see if I changed positions in any category. Thanks for your hard work. I love the freebie stats.

Hey Dave have you found out a way to make this scoring so that it incorporates the certain stats that your own league uses rather than the standard?

I could be mistaken. My computer runs fine with the script, but my friend informed me that he believed some of those things came from installing it. Anyway, thanks for the reply Dave, I guess I was incorrect.

Very useful, but when installed I ended up with spyware and tracking cookies on my computer as a result. I know they came from this because when I got rid of the program and the cookies, they did not return. Is there any reason as to why this is loaded with spyware? The tracking cookies did not affect my computer's performance, but it's not a good idea to have those lurking on your computer.

any ideas?

dave,

yes, greasemonkey is enabled and right now there's about 7 games going on so i don't understand why the 'show freebie stats' wont show up

for some reason this script will not work for me. i use firefox, i installed greasemonkey and installed the script but the "Launch Stat Tracker" button is still there...any ideas?

Any update Dave?

Dave,

Awesome work! I know nothing about writing scripts, but any chance you could add batter K, BB, & 2B? Better yet, how about adding an option for the user to pick which stats to track? Thanks again.

Cool.
It would be neat to replace the "Get StatTracker" link too (http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=50368/*http://baseba... on my page), and better yet, show the stats inline!

HI Dave. Thanks for this amazing script it's so helpful! I appreciate the amount of work you put into this, but I was wondering if maybe you could add BB's to the hitters stats? That would be outstanding =]

Thanks again for a wonderful tool!

Hey Dave -

Love the idea, but for some reason it is not working. I still see "Launch Stattracker". Any suggestions? Thanks.

my league also has total bases and walks as categories. any way to add these?

Dave,

Only having a small amount of programming knowledge, if I did my homework, do you think I could customize this for my league? We are in a rotisserie league, and want to have a head to head playoff at the end of the year. So basically, I would need a total box score for the week, adding daily live stats to the teams playing each other.

If it is something that is pretty complex, and you or Rodric could do it, I would recommend trying to pitch it to a fantasy website for some $$$, as I have found there are large numbers of people pining for a roto regular season with H2H playoffs.
