How to make a userscript load with a page?

ss999 · 10-14-2009, 08:20 AM

I would like to know how can I make a userscript (or whatever you call it) load as the page loads. So that it shows up right away, not only when everything is already loaded. If it is possible I would like to know the exact code...

I'm not sure where to ask this.

Hey, it depends what it is you want to show... Could you give us an example of what it is you want to show when the page loads?

Usually if this is javascript you'd use:

Code:

<body onload="theFunction();">

where theFunction is the name of the script you want to run (or the main function of it).

but post back with more details so we know what you actually want to do (if you can find an example please post a link).

It's just CSS...

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name No Ads
// @description No Ads
// @include http://www.adswebsite.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

(function(){ 
var cssStyle  = ''
cssStyle = '.ads, .adbox, .buyourstore{display:none}'
PRO_addStyle(cssStyle, document);	
})()

Oh, it's greasemonkey, javascript run externally. Have you installed Greasemonkey?

And then installed the script?

Because after that it should just work.

I don't know what do you mean. I don't need a monkey, IE let's me use userscripts just fine. And of course I have installed the script, if I created it myself... I'm confused now.

Greasemonkey is installed in IE then, userscripts are part of a javascript embedding object.

You didn't say that you'd written it yourself, i actually get your question now.

If you want to run that function after things have loaded you need to use something like this:

Code:

// ==UserScript==
// @name No Ads
// @description No Ads
// @include http://www.adswebsite.com/*
// ==/UserScript==

window.onload = function(){ 
var cssStyle  = ''
cssStyle = '.ads, .adbox, .buyourstore{display:none}'
PRO_addStyle(cssStyle, document);	
}

Read my first post... That's the opposite of what I want and it's what I already have.

Just forget it.

Due to the nature of greasemonkey that is impossible. Technically that function runs ASAP as not after everything has loaded(that seems to just be coinsidence), hence my confusion.

To answer your origional question it's not possible. Mainly because greasemonkey waits for the JS DOM to have loaded fully before attempting to modify it.

Again, I am not using a monkey :P but OK. It should apply to IEPro too.

Thank you for helping me! Now I know. It will just have to stay the way it is...

Yeah it's the same engine with slightly different(ie only) features... Sorry there isn't a better solution.

Cheers,
