Any advice on how to move the monkey to the lower right like RS1990 did? I don't see how to move it to the lower edge of the screen, although it was simple enough to move it to the right.

I installed and activated the script, but I didnt see any "Monkey" in any corner. I tried it on some popular site, where have to be some scripts: google.com, ebay.com, userscripts.org, ... no monkey :(

Whats wrong?

alien_scum, I used your auto update in my script. Thanks! :)

I also added "What's New" and version number to the dialog box so people can see what changed.

Is there a way to make it so that the monkey isn't all that fancy smancy? Maybe just a simple monkey head that doesn't shrink and magically fade?

Author: Please check out User Script Updates - simply update the header of your script and your users will be able to receive change-notification when you improve this script

That should be 'alien_scum'.

(The comments on scripts should also be editable !)

Thank you alien_sum :)

On some pages like

http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.0/README

the Monkey Head does not get inserted. Now if someone has firebug enabled, the showmonkey() function ends up causing a massive DoS by spewing errors on

document.getElementById('monkeyhead').width=size;

I came home to find my firefox stuck and thrashing at about a few hundred thousand of these error messages.

I actually updated it to put the icon in the lower right. I have found that to be the least intrusive.

Alien_scum,

Thanks, works beautifully!

I'm a total noob but is there someway to move the monkey head back to the right? Every website I know of utilizes the top left corner (thank you web 2.0) so it just seems to be in the way now..

woowww :-)
this is SO useful ! and beautifully written :-)

@exclude http://*.user.js?* and @exclude http://*.user.js#* makes it not display literal HTML when viewing source with e.g. http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/5913.

Elegant solution. The script works great now! I also vouch for its trustworthiness, having read the code.

Hi alien_scum, first, good work and nice coding. Script works great. Second, there seem to be a small problem with your otherwise elegant execution. Suppose I run it on the URL: http://games.slashdot.org/
It searches google and us.o for "games", which is certainly not what's wanted. You should better have something more sophisticated for analyzing the URL. I'd look for the suffixes (".com" etc.) from a reasonable distance from the beginning of the array, and pick the element one index before.
