Hey people,

my code is quite ugly and defenitely too long-winded. I would prefer not to have to intercept all mouseclicks to check if any of my buttons is clicked. I guess there is a much better way to do than injecting JS and afterwards intercepting mouseclicks. So everyone with suggestions is very welcome.

Greets,

Hey PotatoHead,
i´m not sure about this. If i hit "shift + t" with my script deactivated, nothing happens. maybe you have a hotkey for search tab, which overwrites the keycombination of the script. you could change the key in the sourcecode (search for "event.charCode == 84"). charCode == 84 is ascii. so you can chage it easyly to any number between 65 (=A) and 90 (=Z)(alphabetical order) for "shift + s" hotkey e.g. charCode == 83. if this doesn´t work. ask again! and i will try me best, to fix it. And if it works, would be good to know aswell...

i will try to make the hotkey configurable anyways, but this will take a little bit.

greetz,

Hey PotatoHead,

ok i understand now what you mean. In my FF search is only activated with ctrl + F. I will upload a new version right now. Please try it. I hope it´s done then. Yes you can change the hotkey to altkey. I hope it´s not necessary though :)

paul

I´m afraid the "new" script is not the answer :(
there was just a ";" missing. But I have a clou. Seems to be a problem with the minutes format...
I hope to solve this today. Thanks for telling me that there is a problem: nothing worse than a scipt that is not working...

@PotatoHead: the script is working for me. And it´s quite hard to debug a working script ;)
So if it is still not running: tell me. I´ve activated the immediate search when press any key. With this at least the config menu is shown, even if it is then not hided again, it works.

Paul

Hey PotatoHead,
so is it working or not? As I understand your words i guess not...
Could you tell me which older version works correctly?
So I can start from there to search for possible reasons.

P.

I think I found sth.:
my script seems to have problems with &. in the URL. Could you guys try to reproduce this by using a URL with and without &? I guess it could be that javascript treats & as & amp; or something like that...

Please post your results here, that would be great.
Paul

Could you tell me the URL you are using the script on?
Did you try using it (just for tests) with google.com?
I´ve posted it in the forum. Maybe there is any help
available...

I guess the code grew too fast, now its hard to find
bugs. Hope getting a solution quickly!

Hey Potato,
there is another explanation for a possible malfunction:
if the webpage is based on framesets, it is impossible to
show the menu, because it is a floating div. The script
keeps working, but not the config menu...

Please check your site concerning framesets. I´ll keep
searching for other reasons.

Hey Potato,
hehe. Good to solve the problem this way :)

PS: greasemonkey scripts work, once activated, until the page is reloaded. this is nothing special of my script, but common to all GM scripts. try it ;)

Hey ProInstall, ok I think I get now what you mean: the input box could be an application or maybe a file, which my script can access to? I think this would work with lets say a .txt file. But I doubt that Firefox and especially GM can access to other applications. The filesystem in contrast is accessible. Is that what you want?

And the bug is true. I´m not sure if there are people who need to refresh every second, but in the worst case it can be changed in the about:config menu of firefox. Maybe I will check the input of timeout and ask "are you sure?" ;)

• change in line 99 or whereever "option_box.innerHTML" stands the value "background:#EEF;" to "background:#000;"

• install the script a second time under a different name (change @name in the script BEFORE installing) and change in line 99 or whereever "option_box.innerHTML" stands the value "background:#EEF;" to "background:#000;". Then change greasemonkey options to run this script ONLY on your page (in "include" paste your URL and in exclude put "*"). Then exclude the original script from that site the same way to avoid problems.

Hey Chr1stian,
thats good. Sorry I couldn´t help you, but as you found something else, everybody is happy ;)

Paul

hey nodws/BR,
this should be possible. but as i don't have time to do this good, here is a quick&dirty solution (which i haven't tested!):
i hope it works :D
insert this code between the last line of the code:
but first change the "84" by the ascii character you want (see here for ascci values if you dont know them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII#ASCII_printa....
84 = T by the way is not good ;)

if (event.charCode == 84) {
if(typeof(timeout_countdown)!='undefined'){
window.clearTimeout(timeout_countdown);
}
if(typeof(statusbar_timeout_countdown)!='undefined'){
for (var i=0;i<=statusbar_timeout_countdown.length;i++){
window.clearTimeout(statusbar_timeout_countdown[i]);
}
}
/* show abort message */
window.status=statusbar_stop_refresh[lang];

/*remove the values in the about:config */
timeoutset=false;
timeout=default_timeout;
GM_deleteValue('timeoutset'+thepage);
GM_deleteValue('timeout'+thepage);
obox.style.visibility='hidden';
}
}
