Yeah, maybe you'll be captcha'd for your first two threads or so?

Topic: Script development / GM_setValue problem...

I once tried to write a script that automatically enables you to store objects and functions and so on with GM_getValue(), and also it will return a object if what is stored looks like it.
I never tested it but it was something like this:

var _GM_getValue = GM_getValue, _GM_setValue = GM_setValue;
function GM_getValue(what) {
	switch((typeof eval(_GM_getValue(what))).toLowerCase()) {
		case "object": return new Object(eval(_GM_getValue(what)));
		case "function": return new Function(eval(_GM_getValue(what)));
		case "string": return new String(_GM_getValue(what));
		case "number": return parseInt(_GM_getValue(what));
		case "undefined": try {
					return new String(_GM_getValue(what));
				} catch(e) {
					return null;
				}
	}
}

function GM_setValue(what) {
	switch((typeof what).toLowerCase) {
		case "object": _GM_setValue((new Object(what)).toString()); return;
		case "function": _GM_setValue((new Function(what)).toString(); return;
		case "string": _GM_setValue(new String(what)); return;
		case "number": _GM_setValue(what); return;
		case "undefined": _GM_setValue(new String(what));
	}
}	

Topic: Script development / HTTP methods

You could use something like this to read out the methods and do something about it:

if (GM_getValue("method") == "") {
	GM_setValue("method", "nothing");
}
var forms = document.evaluate("//form[@method]", document, null, 6, null), i, form, method = GM_getValue("method");
for (i=0; i<forms.snapshotLength; i++) {
	form = forms.snapshotItem(i);
	form.addEventListener("click", function(e) {
		e.preventDefault();
		e.stopPropagation();
		GM_setValue("method", this.method.toLowerCase());
		this.submit();
	}, false);
}

if (method == "post") {
	// do something with POST
} else if (method == "get") {
	// do something with GET
} else {
	GM_log("Couldn't read method");
}

Topic: Script development / document.selection is undefined

I like using this function, it also selects the text:

function addtext(tag, text) {
	var tag1 = "["+tag+"]", tag2 = "[/"+tag+"]",
		ta = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea")[0],
		start = ta.selectionStart,
		end = ta.selectionEnd;
	ta.focus();
	ta.value = ta.value.substring(0, start) + tag1 + text + tag2 + ta.value.substring(end);
	ta.selectionStart = (ta.value.substring(0, start) + tag1).length;
	ta.selectionEnd = ta.selectionStart + text.length;
}

addtext("img", "IMAGEURI");

Topic: Script development / block infinite alerts

Well apparently GM doesn't work on local files, I only tried it with that.
Anyway, thanks for the answer, but I prefer the confirm() solution :p

Topic: Script development / block infinite alerts

Hello,
as you all know, a simple while(true)alert("foo"); will pretty much crash almost every browser (you just can't do anything else).
Opera has a real nice feature to block that, but Firefox does not.
So what I found is this: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/11959

But it doesn't work for me.
I'm using GM 0.8.20080609.0, and the script is on first place in the list.

Any ideas?
Or even better, some other satisfying solution?

Shouldn't that go without saying?
I mean if I don't want people to use my code, I'll hardly post it here, or at the very least I'd obfuscate it...

Topic: Script development / calling javascript injected into page body

Guys, you might want to look into unsafeWindow on the Greasespot Wiki.
It's by far the easiest way:

unsafeWindow.pop = function(url) {
  newWin = window.open(url, "vid"...);
}

That's very well possible.
You can add as many search engine buttons as you want, all you need to tell us is the action attribute of your search forms.

I'd go with the first one, xpath is not implemented in IE, just in case there are any IE users.

Mikado used to have a script for that, but it seems offline.

Topic: Script development / Facebook Ad AJAX update killer

Let's say your script has the function removeads()
Ususally, you could just do this:

function removeads() {
// code
}
removeads();
document.addEventListener("DOMNodeInserted", removeads, true);

function removeads() {
// code
}
window.setTimeout(function() {
  removeads();
}, 3000);

Topic: Script development / xpath

Thank you. :)

Topic: Script development / xpath

Hello everyone,

I'd love some help with an xpath problem.

This is the code I am working with:

<div id="bx_frndsBday_bx_tg">
	<div class="moveBoxSub">stuff</div>
	<div class="moveBoxCont">
		<dl class="teaserList1">
			<dt>
				<a class="teaserPic" href="showHome.do?accountId=123">link</a>
			</dt>
		</dl>
	</div>
</div>

It's just shortened, the actual code can be found here, and in action here

And this is my XPath so far:

var box = $x("//div[@id='bx_frndsBday_bx_tg']/div[@class='moveBoxCont']/dl[@class='teaserList1']/dt/a[contains(@href, 'showHome.do?accountID=')]");
alert(box[0].innerHTML);

I use the $x function.
Well, it kind of makes sense to me, but I get an empty array back, so I thought some of you might be able to help me.

Thanks! :)
