@az1d:

Just add an extra \ to the regular expression so that the . is quoted as regular expression:



var re_pdf = new RegExp("\\.pdf$","i");

...



Fixed it. There was another script screwing up all new installs. Weird. Didn't know that type of conflict could happen. Thanks for the feedback. It helped me figure out where to look for the problem.

It seems like I'm having a problem installing any script right now. I'm not sure what has happened. Very little information in the forum about this as well. I'll figure it out. Thanks

Hey Jason,

No idea.. I have the same versions and it works fine here... maybe its something bugging with the userscripts.org server? :/

I'm having problems getting this script to install. I click the install button and GM is stuck with message "Fetching user script". Any ideas what is wrong? I'm using FF 2.0.0.14 & GM 0.7.2008012.0

DoQrs, I just get tired of writing the same DOM traversal code every time. Sorry. It was for my personal convenience.

If you'd like this sans-jquery it wouldn't be too hard at all to adapt the elbo.ws script here.

Is it necessary to load jquery for the functionality of document.createElement ?

Great script. I used the original for ages but find this much better.

Any chance you can update this script so that it only picks up on .pdf .doc etc, rather than without the dot, cause I get a lot of false positives.

Thanks for the recommendation of the similar extension, unfortunately I tend to click without hovering.

Fazibear updated this script. His version is a little slicker, I think.

fuckin slick! very nice!

Love it, very cool!

I made a prepending one: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/6539. Thanks for using Creative Commons.

Nice work :)

Thanks for the quick response Paul. It works as expected.

Hi Michael. I updated the script to do this. If the lastChild of the link element is an IMG, it won't place an image. Hopefully that works nicely. Thanks for the feedback!

Is it possible to not display the icons if the link element surrounds an image? For example, an author may have already added icons to their links and linked both the text and the icon. In this case your script will add an extra icon.

Fantastic!
