You can make this script work by making the following changes:
change
prevlink.setAttribute("href", prevNode.attributes.href.value);
to
prevlink.setAttribute("href", prevNode.getAttribute('href'));

change
nextlink.setAttribute("href", nextNode.attributes.href.value);
to
nextlink.setAttribute("href", nextNode.getAttribute('href'));

change
var googleNavs = document.evaluate("//span[@class='b']", document . . .
to
var googleNavs = document.evaluate("//*[@class='b']", document . . .

I love this script. I just HAD to make it work again :)

If you have problems check to see if you have the google toolbar extension installed. You may have to un-install it or disable it for these scripts to work. I remember seeing a comment that the order extensions load may play a part in the issues but I can't figure out how to change the order extensions load to test it.

Well, it still works for me, but opens a new tab whenever I hit one of the shortcuts. I'll look into fixing that I think.

the accesskey that i STILL can't believe google itself hasn't enabled is one to the SEARCH BOX. could you add this to a future update?

Not working under GM 0.6.4 and FireFox 1.5. Tried both ,. as well ALT+. and ALT+ Brings up other menus or conflicts with something else.

Josh, it adds accesskeys to the google search results page, which means it's "ALT+," and "ALT+.", not just "," and "." as the description originally read.

Works great. Anytime I can skip using the mouse is good. I'm using Firefox 1.0.6.

I couldn't get it to work in any version.
