userscripts

Today Google changed the way userscripts are installed in Chrome . No longer can you just click on a link that contains one, confirm a couple dialog boxes and have it installed. Now you have to download the script with Save As..., open the Finder/Explorer window that contains it, open the Extensions window in Chrome, then drag the script to the extensions window. IOW, a big PITA. Presumably the alternative is to package as a Chrome extension and get it on the Chrome webstore. However, I can't find any information anywhere that suggests you can package a userscript as an extension. Is this

I'm translating text/words/terms inside an HTML document using a tree walker to affect only text nodes: var replaceArry = [ [/View your user account/gi, 'Tu cuenta'], // etc. ]; var numTerms = replaceArry.length; var txtWalker = document.createTreeWalker ( document.body, NodeFilter.SHOW_TEXT, { acceptNode: function (node) { //-- Skip whitespace-only nodes if (node.nodeValue.trim() ) return NodeFilter.FILTER_ACCEPT; return NodeFilter.FILTER_SKIP; } }, false ); var txtNode = null; while (txtNode = txtWalker.nextNode () ) { var oldTxt = txtNode.nodeValue; for (var J = 0; J < numTerms; J++) {

I have this userscript: // ==UserScript== // @name test // @namespace test // @description show's an alert on load // @include http://* // @include https://* // ==/UserScript== window.addEventListener('load', function(){alert("loaded");}, false); This works fine on Firefox on all pages but doesn't work at all on Chrome at some occasions. One example is this website: http://lexin.nada.kth.se/lexin/ Entering the link in the address and hitting enter, loads the page normally but no alert is popped up. If you press F5 to refresh the page, the popup appears. Is there some explanation to this weird

Is there a easy way to do this. And is there anything that needs to be changed due to differences in how it is ran? Brock Adams The easiest way to do this: Run the bookmarklet code through a URL decoder . so that javascript:alert%20('Hi%20Boss!')%3B , for example, becomes: javascript:alert ('Hi Boss!'); Strip the leading javascript: off. Result: alert ('Hi Boss!'); Add this code to the end of your Greasemonkey file. For example, create a file named, Hello World.user.js , with this code: // ==UserScript== // @name Hello World! // @description My first GM script from a bookmarklet // @include

I have two scripts. I put them in the same namespace (the @namespace field). I'd like them to interactive with another. Specifically I want script A to set RunByDefault to 123. Have script B check if RunByDefault==123 or not and then have script A using a timeout or anything to call a function in script B . How do I do this? I'd hate to merge the scripts. The scripts cannot directly interact with each other and // @namespace is just to resolve script name conflicts. (That is, you can have 2 different scripts named "Link Remover", only if they have different namespaces.) Separate scripts can

I am writing a UserScript that will remove elements from a page that contain a certain string. If I understand jQuery's contains() function correctly, it seems like the correct tool for the job. Unfortunately, since the page I'll be running the UserScript on does not use jQuery, I can't use :contains(). Any of you lovely people know what the native way to do this is? http://codepen.io/coulbourne/pen/olerh elclanrs This should do in modern browsers: function contains(selector, text) { var elements = document.querySelectorAll(selector); return [].filter.call(elements, function(element){ return

First of all there is a question with the same title here on SO but its not what I'm looking for and it doesn't have a complete answer either. So here's my question. Say I have this URL which directs to an image. https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299595_10150290138650735_543370734_8021370_355110168_n.jpg Once I put this parameter ?dl=1 to the end of the URL, it becomes downloadable. https://fbcdn-photos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/299595_10150290138650735_543370734_8021370_355110168_n.jpg?dl=1 I'm trying to do this task through a userscript. So I used XMLHttpRequest for
