Jul 30, 2008 3:30am Mike Hicks Script's Author	I just loosened up the @include directives so it will now attempt to run on more pages. MySpace had been telling users to only login when they visit "www.myspace.com", but they're now breaking their own rules about the name of the login page. No code changes, just making it run more frequently.

Jun 19, 2008 12:53pm Dink Scriptwright	doesn't seem to work again due to changes in myspace login page... Please Update if possible... TIA!!

Jun 16, 2008 6:29pm Mike Hicks Script's Author	Hmm, I've never noticed the cursor being invisible like that on my systems (Firefox 2 and 3 on Linux and Windows). If anyone sees that issue, let me know what browser and OS you're using. In other news, I've just changed the script around to only match on a substring like "Email_Textbox" for finding the relevant fields instead of searching for the specific element ID that they use (which changed yet again about a week ago). Hopefully this will be somewhat more robust. I'll upload my changes in a moment.

Apr 11, 2008 10:32pm Dink Scriptwright	I played around with the code and got it to work again... copy and paste this code into the script to make it functional once more. // ==UserScript== // @name Focus password field on MySpace login page // @namespace http://umn.edu/~hick0088/ // @description Put the cursor in the password field on the MySpace login screen (or the e-mail field if nothing's been filled in). // @include http://www.myspace.com/ // @include http://www.myspace.com/* // @include http://myspace.com/ // ==/UserScript== (function() { // Element IDs to use when searching through the document idid = 'ctl00_ctl00_Main_cpMain_SplashDisplay_ctl00_Email_Textbox'; pwid = 'ctl00_ctl00_Main_cpMain_SplashDisplay_ctl00_Password_Textbox'; // Find the "E-Mail:" field if (idfield = document.getElementById(idid)) { if (idfield.value == "") { // focus the "E-Mail:" field if it's blank. idfield.focus(); } else { if (pwfield = document.getElementById(pwid)) { // otherwise, focus the "Password:" field pwfield.focus(); } } } })();

Apr 11, 2008 11:33am Dink Scriptwright	this script seems to need some attention as it is not working anymore....

Nov 1, 2007 7:43am Seifer Scriptwright	Yay! Thanks. Was going to do that myself.. so annoying.
