Thanks for the fix laruldan. Andrey, thanks for the great script!

 
laruldan User

Worked great (thanks!), but recently slashdot changed <div [...] class="commentTop"> to <div [...] class="commentTop newcomment"> and broke this script; my solution: replace all @class='commentTop' in script code with starts-with(@class,'commentTop').

This is the answer to my prayers, I hated to load a new page for every comment I wanted to read, thanks so much! :D

 
Vijay User

Great script, but unfortunatly the [.] dosn't work with slashdot's New discussion system (that's still in beta though).

 
Arvid Scriptwright

This script works great. Not only not depracted, like all the others (at least the comments suggest this), it's feature packed too! Thank you!

Updated to display graphical buttons instead of the text ones. This looks much better on the new Slashdot design.

 
verifex Scriptwright

This is the latest slashdot live comment tree that works. All others are depreciated as of a week or so ago.

Now there's also a version that doesn't use XPath at all, so it will work on Opera 8. You can download it from the script's Homepage (see above). That version will also work with Greasemonkey, but it appears slightly slower.

Opera 8 doesn't support XPath, but you can use Cameron McCormack's wonderful XPath in JavaScript library as a replacement. Download xpath.js from http://mcc.id.au/xpathjs and place it in Opera's user Javascript folder. Note that this will make it run on every page you visit, so you might want to modify it to limit it to Slashdot (or you can insert it at the top of this script instead).
