This is a good script. But I was wondering if it is possible to get it to work on sites with IMDB links? I frequent many sites that show IMDB links to actors or movies and it would be nice to use this to call up the information.

It kinda works.

You'd have to go in Tools > Greasemonkey > Manage Scripts. In the manager window select this script and then edit the include URL from http://www.imdb.* to http://*

The media tab and the CSS needs some work though. I'll fix this next time.

Works here like you said but on the site that I use for looking up the information it still would not work for me.

www.iloveclassics.com if your curious.

-Edit. To make sure I had all my other plugins and GM scripts disabled while trying this. It worked on one out of four sites I visited.

If you use addon like NoScript, it may need allowing the page.

Is it possible that a site ran script is the problem? Some sites I am on use a anon script. I have it disable through adblock but not sure if it is interfering.

-Edit
Ok strange. In the request section this works perfectly but on the movie pages it just does not work.

yeah, it's a javascript jungle out there, each site nowadays has a ton of scripts... I wanna make some updates, hopefully it'll cover that
