Sep 5, 2009 2:12am auscompgeek User	Your script is great, except it won't run properly on browsers that aren't Firefox(-based). Could you make this script compatible with other browsers, in particular - Opera? Thanks in advance.

Oct 9, 2009 2:28pm mungushume Script's Author	@auscompgeek Right... Opera support is a bit tricky as this script uses specific GM_ functions that do not exist in Opera Here is a quick how to for use in Opera 1, Go http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/operaStuff/userJav... search for "Emulate GM functions". install this script in Opera. 2, Go http://google.monkeyr.com/opera/script/1.3.0/go... install this script in Opera. As Opera does not allow cross site requests (cross site scripting) auto update and regular update are disabled. To see the differences in the scripts go to http://pastebin.org/pastebin.php?diff=41189 "old version" is v1.3.0 for ff, "new version" is a modded version for Opera and "both versions" will show you the differences between the two. I don't intend to keep an up-to-date Opera version for future revisions of the script so noting where changes have been made would be beneficial to anyone wanting to use Opera! mh

Oct 12, 2009 4:12am auscompgeek User	Ah, so the auto-update code was causing it to fail... I already had aagmfunctions.js installed... Could you define GM_... functions if they don't exist please? Add sensible defaults please (2 columns, number results, remove click tracking, auto load(?)...) Wait a minute... the preferences dialog is failing...

Oct 12, 2009 4:56pm mungushume Script's Author	@auscompgeek There a quite a few things that were causing it to fail, auto update code being part of it Check out the file comparison to see what the others are aagmfunctions.js gives access to all the necessary GM_ functions. Why would i need to define them? You can change the defaults in the script. preferences dialogue failing??? mh

Nov 2, 2009 3:40am auscompgeek User	Err... yeah, clicking on the GoogleMonkeyR preferences link just greys out the page...

Nov 4, 2009 7:04pm mungushume Script's Author	@auscompgeek It works fine for me on aagmfunctions.js v1.3.1 and opera v10.01 I guess it could be other scripts interfering or something else entirely. I don't really use opera so wouldn't know where to start looking on a user specific bug. i suggest you look at the error console and the developer plugin to track this problem down further. mh

Nov 8, 2009 8:31pm gehav User	Thanks a lot, mungushume! I just followed your instructions and now I can use your nice script not only in my Firefox installation but also in Opera! Of course it would be nice if you change your mind and could provide possible future updates for Opera also :-)

Feb 20, 2010 5:13am thugdrummer User	Is support for Safari 4.0.4 completely out of the question? I've put this on two windows boxes already and this is by far my favorite script. But I most often use Safari on my Mac.

May 24, 2010 7:25pm HardKoreG User	Thanks for the help. It works in Opera for me now. I agree with thugdrummer, It would be great if you continued updating the script for Opera. Thanks again for the help.
