Thanks, mathe! I'm glad you like it.

It may be possible to load the flash preview using something like GM_xmlhttprequest. I think constantly loading new flash files might be unfairly demanding of Newegg's servers, though.

I like the idea of moving the No symbol closer to the image/cursor. The way I implemented it was basically a lazy way to let the user know the script is still working properly.

Maybe instead of a runner on the popup, there could be a tiny runner next to the original thumbnail (that sounds easier ;-) ). Or you could use ctl+scroll wheel to cycle through them all?

Thanks for the feedback. Did you end up finding anything out on your own?

You read my mind with this one, jboney. Thanks!

The flash player does pose an interesting problem. I don't have time at the moment but will look into it later tonight and see if I can help out! : )

It works just as you said it would, but I have a couple of requests/suggestions to make it even better:
  • Have the red "No" symbol appear either over the image (a transparent overlay of the "No" sign that covered the thumbnail would be awesome!) or somewhere closer to the mouse. Sometimes it isn't noticeable at the top right of the screen.
  • Expand the popup to include a runner with thumbnails of the product that are available to view. To avoid problems with the click event on the popup, you might include a close button or even create something like the browsing buttons that appear on either side of images on AMO when other pics are available.
I'll post more suggestions or feedback if I have any. Great job!
