That'll work in other software besides Greasemonkey (I think?),  what else 
makes it better?  If there's more than one style to change GM_addStyle 
seems less cluttered,   and won't this method fail if the element is 
created after the script has run..?

Do you know where I can find this?  I understand that if not specified in

meta.js)  but couldn't find out how to check.
 


AHA,  this I did not know.    Would explain this particular script not 
updating as yes I had edited it on disk.   Is there a way to manually 
change this flag?  Or I guess deleting the script, restarting Firefox and 
reinstalling from us.o would clear it?

(I've got into the habit of working on changes locally then updating the 
version on us.o,   and I move between a few different machines so the 
locally-edited flags will be spread among them for different scripts....)

Thanks for the help!

Re: GM_xmlhttpRequest works on some sites not on others

For clarification: this script was copied verbatim from another script
that DOES work, with the non-relevant bits stripped out. And, to
reiterate, it works fine on one server, but not another.

Subject pretty much says it all. I've got a script I'd like to use to
filling out shipping information on the USPS website. The script I'm
testing with is pretty simple:

<code>
// ==UserScript==
// < at >name        Fill out shipping form based on Seamlyne order
// < at >namespace   http://www.seamlyne.com
// < at >description Fill out USPS shipping form

// < at >includehttps://cns.usps.com/go/Secure/*
// < at >includehttp://serverAtWork/index.asp
// < at >version     1.0.006
// ==/UserScript==

function mainContent(){
console.log("world");
GM_xmlhttpRequest({
  method: "GET",
  url: "https://www.MyDomain.com/catalog/shippinglabel.asp?
idorder=1106",
  onload: function(response) {
    alert(response.responseText);
  }
});

}

console.log("hello");

mainContent();
</code>

The script operates the way I'd expect it to on serverAtWork (I get
the text of the order header), and NOT on the other two servers, USPS
and w3schools. On the other two servers, GM_xmlhttpRequest doe

You're sure of this?  This isn't the default behavior for us.o.



There's a few things that checks:

(
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/blob/e8fe33dd4b987c1b0dac7b8f41e106db83aa246f/modules/script.js#L446)

* Updates preference for this script enabled?  (You say it is.)
* Script is enabled?  (It probably is.)
* Have an update URL? (If you installed it recently, there should be one.)
* Have not modified the script on disk since the last install?  (This might
be the culprit -- we intentionally do not overwrite local modifications
with updates.)
* Update URL is secure?  (You say it is.)

So there's one obvious thing to check.

Re: delete a whole

mike cupcake — 2012-05-17T12:04:17

if simply hiding it from view would be acceptable, an alternative method 
uses CSS:

GM_addStyle("#foobar { display: none !important; } ");

Auto update not working (Firefox, Mac)

mike cupcake — 2012-05-17T11:45:16

So I've uploaded a few basic scripts to userscripts.org and installed loads 
of useful ones from other people, but I can't get auto updates to work for 
any of them.

Currently running Firefox 12.0, GM 0.9.19 on Mac 10.6.8

My checklist:
 - script installed from userscripts.org Install button, install URL is 
secure (https)
 - Greasemonkey preferences has all 3 boxes ticked for Update Checking 
(minimum interval set to 1 day if that makes any difference)
 - the script has autoupdate ticked on Firefox's rightclick menu

No updates take place, even after a forced check.

Discovered I could query GM_info and put this in the script, it returned 
False:
alert(String(GM_info.scriptWillUpdate));

Tried adding a < at >version metatag, then also unticking Require Secure 
Updates.  scriptWillUpdate still returns False.

This is the script I'm testing with: 
http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/125470

I'm missing something obvious, right?  Any help appreciated.

Hi, thanks for the help, that fixed it. :) 

btw, I had googled and I did read that page on the greasmonkey wiki, but I 
mistakenly assumed it was about people using callbacks with unsafeWindow.

I don't understand getting the references by class - I'm not sure how to 
handle the return from getElementsByClassName - this doesn't seem to be a 
simple array of objects.

I also tried a global search and replace like this as a test:

var searchRE = new RegExp('mb','gi');
var replace = 'xx';
for (var i=0;i<textNodes.snapshotLength;i++) {
var node = textNodes.snapshotItem(i);
node.data = node.data.replace(searchRE, replace);
}

And it did not appear to do anything. One problem I have is I simply don't 
know how to output to the error console for debugging.

Re: BBC weather site / greasemonkey problem

Klaus Johannes Rusch — 2012-05-14T16:03:48

Assuming you want to change these, you can select spans with a class of 
"pressure", otherwise you could look for digits followed by "mb" in all 
text content and replace that, as an another option ... nothing GM 
specific here, just plain DOM manipulations.  If your selectors get more 
complex jQuery may be helpful, see 
http://wiki.greasespot.net/Third-Party_Libraries#jQuery for details.

Re: BBC weather site / greasemonkey problem

SA — 2012-05-14T15:56:02

Okay the honest answer is I haven't much of a clue as to what is going on in 
GM... basically I want to selectively change bits which are visible.  So, for 
instance "mb" to "MB" which is stored within the invisible table.  The data in 
this table is rendered in the tabs and I was hoping that if I changed this 
data it would render with the changes when the tabs were revealed.

Further examination indicates the data I want to change lies outside of this 
div .

The problem I have now is the data I want to change isn't contained in a 
conveniently named object - any idea how I change this?

Re: BBC weather site / greasemonkey problem

Klaus Johannes Rusch — 2012-05-14T09:41:42

What changes do you expect to see? That table is actually an invisible 
table that's pushed out with CSS, presumably this is an accessible 
version of the data but what visually renders on page is a different set 
of elements:

<div id="forecast-data-table" class="off-screen">

.off-screen {
left: -90000px;
overflow: hidden;
position: absolute;
width: 1px;
}

I followed the advice here by LouCypher:

http://groups.google.com/group/greasemonkey-users/browse_thread/thread/f897578a5013b065?pli=1

Which worked perfectly but now the bbc has changed it's website and
the script stopped working.  I logged and error saying that "div" was
invalid that I attributed to this line:

 var div = document.getElementById("Forecast_main");

The problem being that there was no longer an element called
"Forecast_main".  I dissected the webpage and found that it had been
changed to "forecast-data-table" so updated the script accordingly but
it still does not work (the script runs without error but the changes
are not made). I'm completely stuck could anyone offer a suggestion as
to why it isn't working?

Re: Greasemonkey access violation

Anthony Lieuallen — 2012-05-14T02:56:25

Because you're doing it inside a DOMNodeInserted callback.  This is issue
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1001 with documented
workaround
http://wiki.greasespot.net/0.7.20080121.0_compatibility#Workaround (which
is the first result from a search for
https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Greasemonkey+access+violation%22"Greasemonkey
access violation").

You should probably call GM_getResourceText at the top level, and store it
in a variable that will be accessible at callback time.

Hi, I'm getting the following error and I'm not sure why: Error: Greasemonkey

My script is here: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/133203
source: http://userscripts.org/scripts/review/133203

I've temporarily commented out the line that's causing the error and 
replaced it with a hard-link to the image: 

//img.src = GM_getResourceText("downloadIcon");
img.src = 'http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v215/thegooddale/49569412.png';

Complex data entry in a multi-page web form

Liam in Kansas City — 2012-05-12T02:50:40

The process works like this:

Using xmlHTTP, get the metadata (datasource URL and the target URL) << works
fine

Using xmlHTTP, "GET" data from the datasource URL << works fine, too

document.location = target URL << works fine

The next step would be to wait until the new location is done loading, then
use the data to fill in the form at the target URL. However, the script dies
at the point just after the document location is set to the target form. The
code of the script is below:

// ==UserScript==
// < at >name        Test 1
// < at >namespace   dt1
// < at >description Fill out client forms
// < at >include     https://initiating_page.com
// < at >includehttps://domain_4_the_client_forms/*
// < at >version     1
// ==/UserScript==

function mainContent(){

var vURL = "http://metadata_URL";
var myCtl = document.getElementById("divDebug");
var fieldCounter = 0;

myCtl.innerHTML = '<style type="text/css">* {font-family: sans-serif;

For data that can get bigger than 64KB I have had more luck using
multipart/form-data, like if I where uploading a file in a form, than
with urlencoding. Is much harder to create, but you don't need to
encode anything, you can put the actual binary dump in the post.

Thx, I try  application/octet-stream  but nothing happend, data not
send (0 errors on console):

data: "answear=" + canvas.toDataURL("image/jpeg")

Only answear is send. It works as expected only when I use
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" data are send.

But I saw another problem. I use canvas to read this data. But when I
get data, put on browser and save image I see sth strange: img looks
like the same but not the same. Canvas version is bigger, pixels are
not the same.

Any idea why? How can I save exacly the same img like the source using
JS in Greasemonkey?
