Replace Inline CSS Background:URL

2009-10-27T07:55:21Z

I'm having some difficulty replacing a background image used throughout a page I'm trying to modify. The background:URL only shows up in a few tr's inside a couple different tables throughout the website.

Example of code from website:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<td style="height:25px; color:#FFFFFF; font-weight:bold; background:URL('./images/row_backgroud_grad.gif'); text-align:left;">Number</td>

<table width="220" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" id="header">
<tr style="background:URL('./images/row_backgroud_grad.gif'); height:25px;">
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I would like to make a script to search through the website for row_backgroud_grad.gif and replace it with an image of my own.

I've used this code to successfully replace images with with ID img and a src.

var imgs = document.getElementsByTagName('img')
imgs[0].src = "http://photo-hosting.winsoftmagic.com/1/99z7bc4lis.jpg"

And I've tried some stuff like this with XPath with no luck.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
var thisImg
var backImg = document.evaluate("//img[contains(@src, 'row_backgroud_grad')",
document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);

for (var i=0;i<backImg.snapshotLength;i++) {
var thisImg = backImg.snapshotItem(i);
var src = thisImg.src;
var srcMatch = src.match('./images/row_backgroud_grad.gif');
if (srcMatch != null) {
thisImg.src = 'http://www.myurl.com/myimage/newback.gif';
}
}
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Now I realize this above example won't work because it's trying to replace the string src which is not found in the inline style I am trying to edit. I've tried replacing src with background:URL but I can't seem to get anything to work. Any suggestions???

Thanks,

modifying Yahoo Finance Portfolio tables with greasemonkey

2009-10-13T09:57:30Z

I'm trying to modify my yahoo finance portfolio with greasemonkey so that I can cut and paste the table to a spreadsheet. Here's the URL, but you'll have to log into yahoo and create your own portfolio to actually see anything... http://finance.yahoo.com/p?k=pf_2

The unmodified page has several span tags with 'display:none' that show up when I cut and paste the page. Additionally, the table has small arrow images indicating up or down before the data in certain cells that also shows up.

I'm trying to strip out all the span tags and img tags using this seemingly simple greasemonkey code, but it doesn't seem to work right and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong...

//-------------------------

var allItems, thisItem;
allItems = document.getElementsByTagName('span');
for (var i = 0; i < allItems.length; i++) {
thisItem = allItems[i];
if (thisItem.style == 'display:none')
thisItem.parentNode.removeChild(thisItem);
}

allItems = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for (var i = 0; i < allItems.length; i++) {
thisItem = allItems[i];
thisItem.parentNode.removeChild(thisItem);
}

//------------------------------------

document.getElementById not returning elements on initial page load

2009-07-30T04:04:17Z

Hey,

I was wondering if someone could help me. I've written a small script to fill in a form which I have to do a lot for me work.

I'm getting something strange happening where the script does not work when I first load the page. If I refresh the page then the script works and the form is filled as expected.

The page doesn't change upon requests. What is more, I can inspect the source and the DOM and the element which is reported as being null (document.getElementById is returning it null) is there.

I can also inspect the page via a Javascript shell in that page's context. Running document.getElementById in the shell returns the element correctly.

Has anyone ideas for what this may be?

tweaking the Google Adwords page

2009-06-30T16:30:56Z

The Google Adwords tool spits out a list of keywords. I'd like to turn these into links to google search results.

I can get the words with:

var c0 = document.getElementsByClassName('c0');

How would I loop through this array and replace the text with links?

Wait for page to load before continue

2009-05-14T21:39:44Z

I have a script that changes to a new link in a loop using "window.location.href = url". The script needs to do this many times (about 25 times). But, I need for the script to pause after each time before the script continues.

If I put in a delay by using "alert("pause")" in the loop, every thing works fine. How do I tell the script to wait until "url" has finished loading?

This is not my exact code, but is what I am trying to do:

for (i=0;i<x.length;i++)
{
window.location.href = "http://www.abcxyz.com/page_" + x;
}

Thanks!

Re: Is my script running? (Problem with URLs, Facebook)

2009-04-28T09:28:36Z

I find that grease monkey is looking for an exact match when deciding whether to execute a script. Even proper wildcards don't always produce a hit. With facebook, the workaround seems to be to hit Refresh. If you are at your home, for example, and the address has a bunch of irrelevant garbage in it, hitting Refresh eliminates the garbage, and the url is re-written to include just http://www.facebook.com/home.php, which will fire your script.

java executes greasemonkey script

2009-04-23T02:01:58Z

Hi, does anybody know an api or a technique to execute greasemonkey scripts from java?
Maybe there is an Rhino api for greasemonkey that executes the javascript code in these scripts.
Please respond!

Is my script running? (Problem with URLs, Facebook)

2009-04-14T20:52:27Z

I'm writing a script to run on facebook.com/home.php, but it doesn't execute under all circumstances, which I find rather bizarre.

I have included http://www.facebook.com/home.php*. When I enter the URL into the address bar the script runs marvelously. When I navigate there by clicking 'home' or on the logo (these URLs are of the form http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/home.php?ref=logo), the script does not run.

There are three possibilities:

1. The problem lies with Facebook. This is most probable. Facebook is so obfuscated with Javascript that it's possible some internal mechanism I don't understand (regarding the way it deals with URLs) is messing with the basic function of the Greasemonkey script. Have you written scripts for Facebook before?

2. The problem lies with Greasemonkey. I doubt this is the case, but if so, has anyone experienced a bug like this before? Is there a fix?

3. The problem lies with me. I don't think this is likely, because the effect still occurs even when the script is shortened to "alert(0)".

Ideas?

Detecting Ajax requests

2009-02-18T07:04:41Z

Anyone know if there is a way to detect AJAX requests, possibly using XMLHttpRequest?

Here is why I ask: I am using a .NET application that is 100% AJAX, but the developers did a horrible job, and the requests take a VERY long time. I just want to load an animated loading gif or set the cursor to "wait" while requests are being sent and received so that I'm not sitting like a fool for 60 seconds after ever click I make, wondering if anything is happening or not.

reassigning a function

2009-02-16T22:08:54Z

Hello
i wanted to alter an onClick behavior of some buttons on a site by changing what the onclick function does. the function is called cmdItemOpen so i wrote the following code

cmdItemOpen = function(){
//my new code
}

this seemed to have had the desired effect. but then suddenly the behavior returned to the original one. i've done some testing and it seems that the rest of the script runs ok, except for the function reasigning part. to test i put some alerts throughout the script and they run except the one in my cmdItemOpen function. any thoughts on why this happens and how this could be fixed? thanks.

Overriding a hard-coded Javascript variable??

2009-02-05T06:37:55Z

Hi All,
I'm hoping someone can help shed some light on a little problem I'm trying to solve...

I have to use an Oracle Forms application which is lauched by some utterly horrible javascript. It does crude browser detection and then concatenates a whole bunch of variables into another variable starting with an EMBED tag and finally does a document.writeln of the composed HTML to start a Java Applet.

What I want to do is override a variable which defines the application's look-and-feel., because the hard-coded Look and Feel called 'oracle' is horrible and very slow and I far prefer the 'generic' one.

When I view the launch page's source, the variable is just defined as:
var xuilaf = "oracle"

Which then later gets munged into a big string with:
var NShtml = xHTMLpreApplet;
NShtml += '<EMBED';
...
NShtml += ' lookAndFeel="' + xuilaf + '"';
...
document.writeln(NShtml);

In Opera 9.x, it couldn't be more simple to override this - the user Javascript is simply:
window.opera.defineMagicVariable( 'xuilaf', function () { return "generic"; }, null );

But I cannot achieve the same result using Grease Monkey (I need to run this application in FireFox for other reasons)...

So In Grease Monkey I have tried:
unsafeWindow.xuilaf = "generic";

And I've tried:
unsafeWindow.watch('xuilaf',
function(property, oldval, newval) {
newval = 'generic'
alert('Hit')
return newval
}
**BUT** The watch never gets triggered unless I add a further line in Grease Monkey which changes the value. From what I can tell, any changes I make using GreaseMonkey seem to be actioned after it's already embedded the Java Applet launcher, which is too late.

I also tried to define unsafeWindow.xuilaf itself as a function which just returns "generic" but I kept getting syntax errors.

I've found nothing helpful in the GreaseMonkey documentation -- Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?

Thanks
Jonathan

calling a specific div

2009-01-27T03:30:07Z

Hi,

JavaScript is not my field and is a bit above my knowledge but I'm trying to get this thing working...

I'm trying to "call" a specific div, which doesn't have an id - only a class attribute. If I use getElementsByClassName it obviously returns me all elements with this class. But I would like to call only a specific one.

I'm thinking of modifying the HTML so I can insert an id att. into the div I want, then calling this id later in the script. Would that work or should I save myself some time?

Any suggestions well appreciated.

Script request (game)

2009-01-19T03:24:07Z

alright i actually have 2 requests. the first should be super easy.

both are for the game drugrunners.net

1) alright there are set times for Grow(:10, :40) and for Sales.(:25, :55) basically i want the greasemonkey to pop up an alert 5min b4 each 1 reminding me.

2) alright this 1 could be a bit tricky, id like to add a couple more categories to the investigated page. enemies are red on this page, would be nice to find someway to let you sort by enemy, putting all of them at the top of the list. and would also like to be able to sort by cracking/bashing. tho not sure if that would be possible

Executing remote script

2009-01-10T13:06:36Z

Hi,

I want to write a simple greasemonkey script that does a GM_xmlhttpRequest to my server and runs the code that it receives (by doing an "eval" of the result).

The problem is that the received script needs to call some protected GM functions (such as GM_getValue) and so I get an error:

"Greasemonkey access violation: unsafeWindow cannot call GM_getValue."

Any ideas on how I can solve this?

Thanks!

Script that does essentially the same thing as Interclue's firfox extension

2008-12-30T15:23:02Z

I am looking for a script in greasemonkey that is basically the same thing as globefeed.com's script, except there script doesn't show vbulletin forum posts... I only need a script like this for vbulletin posts. Globefeed.com's would've been perfect BUT it doesn't show the live page, it shows something that has been around a long time.

Can anyone help me find or make a script like this please? I don't have much to give, thanks.

Also it does NOT have to be as intricate as Interclues extension, but I would like it to be able to see images that were posted in the posts...

Seeking simple filter - delete HTML line containing string

2008-12-28T13:50:21Z

I'm a non-scripter who is hoping to find an existing greasemonkey script that does (or can be readily adapted to do) the following extremely simple task:

1) For a user-specified website (e.g., www.annoyingforum.com) , scan the source of the page to be displayed for any of a small set of user-specified strings (e.g., "posted by: idiot", "posted by: psycho", etc.).

2) Delete the entire line of HTML containing the offending string.

3) Display the remaining content in the usual way.

Thanks
