Kazuho at Work

This is great, good work. Can't wait for the UI.

It looks good. I've created a workaround to allow the GM_xmlhttpRequest to be used. I've tried it in one of my scripts. If you include this code in your script:
//Allow GM_xmlhttpRequest in Greasemetal ("Greasemonkey" for Google Chrome)
var chromexmlhttp;
var ChromeHTTP = function(options)
{
var onload = options["onload"];
chromexmlhttp = new XMLHttpRequest();
chromexmlhttp.open(options["method"], options["url"], true);
chromexmlhttp.onload = function(resp) {
var resptext = chromexmlhttp.responseText;
var responseDetails = { responseText : resptext }
onload(responseDetails);
};
chromexmlhttp.send(null);
}
if(!window.GM_xmlhttpRequest)
{ window.GM_xmlhttpRequest = ChromeHTTP;
}

it will create a GM_xmlhttpRequest method compatible with the standard method, if the method does not already exist. I've tested it one of my scripts and it worked perfectly.

Actually, I've realised that my workaround only works for scripts which request from the same domain as the page the script is on. Which, rereading the post, is the reason for the problem implementing it.

The homepage for it needs modifying since the folder for the userjs to go into has changed to \Program Files\Greasemetal\userjs.

Zero3K: Version 0.2 of Greasemonkey reads userscripts from BOTH folders, one under Program Files and one under My Documents (or Documents, on Windows Vista).

The former is intended for system use only.

Thanks for creating Greasemetal!

Any thoughts on how I can get user scripts to work with ajax requests? GM under FF works with AJAX http requests, but Greasemetal does not appear to. (Windows Vista)

Thanks!

Great stuff, thanks. It doesn't seem to work on secure (https:) pages though. Is there a way to get it to work? Greasemonkey on Firefox does. With Opera it doesn't work by default but there's an opera:config setting to allow it. Thanks.

Please ignore the last comment; https: works, I was just running into a different error.

I checked the greasemonky script 'webaborn'.

The script worked when typing URL directly or clicking a link with mouse-left-button.

But the script does not work when clicking a link with mouse-wheel-button to open new tab. Why..?

I'd just like to make a note on GreaseMetal. While the developer is still adding the UI, you can use an application I created called DocWatcher to automatically move .user.js files from your Downloads directory to your userjs directory when downloaded.

It should be fairly simple to do (read the documentation if you don't understand the application that well), but if you still have problems, you can email me at jrhodes@roket-productions.com

Note: You don't need the Plus edition if your downloads directory is under My Documents.

Just a quick feature request that should be easy to implement: if you could read in any command-line options given to greasemetal and pass them along to Chrome, that would be excellent. I use a command-line switch to set a custom profile directory for chrome, so that would allow me to keep my user directory where it is.

> some GM_* functions
Looking on aagmfunctions.js from http://www.howtocreate.co.uk/operaStuff/userJavaScript.html
It contains emulations most of GM function for Opera browser.
It uses cookies for GM_[gs]etValue and emulation menu for GM_registerMenuCommand.

+1 to Hach-Que's request to allow for command-line options. I want to use this with the --app option to run web applications.

Correction: Request by Isochronous, not Hach-Que

Thanks for the utility first.Yesterday I tried it on flickr photo sharing flickrPM user script. What I observed is, when I open a new tab by middle mouse button, the tab gets opened up where as my control is still in the current page. In this case, the scripts functionality is not working on new tab content. When I go there and refresh it again works. Looks like, current window (tab) only renders with scripts in place.

- my 2 cents
thanks in advance again

Good article. Very informative. Thanks!

help a beginner, running Vista.

i installed GM, and placed YouTube Black into Documents/userjs.

Nothing happens. YouTube is not black.

Ideas?

Thanks for GM, I got my script to work. The only problem is, even with a 'hello world' script, it never works first time entering a page, it only ever works after you refresh or start clicking around on the site. Any ideas?

Kazuho, respect from Russia.

One problem, think you know, is that current greasemetal release doesn't work with latest GC release.

It's a pity.

Is it possible to resolve problem's reason? Sure it is! So, please, do it!

Dozens of GM fans are looking at you! =)

From Russia, with love.
