Greasmonkey (Javascript)

Hey,
Sorry to annoy you /prog/, but I'm currently trying to get the hang of Greasemonkey (Firefox Add-on). Yes, I already tried googling and even found a tutorial, but it (honestly) sucks. (http://diveintogreasemonkey.org/)

May have a suggestion/link for a nice tutorial with preferably real-world examples, /prog/? The problem is that every single tutorial I find on the net is about installing the fucking Add-on and not about learning how to write scripts with it.

Help would be greatly appreciated.

Read SICP^{(JavaScript Edition)}.

Thanks - the trolling phase has just ended.
Now to the real answers *waiting*

Fuck you.

NO YOU!

There is a reason /prog/ recommends SICP: it helps you achieve SATORI, which you are ^{quite far from.}

There's this tendency among 14-year-olds to try to learn from tutorials instead of documentation. It's barely a step up from script kiddery, if you ask me.

IMHO: tutorials == documentation # most of the time

Luckily no one asks you.

How the fuck would you know? You're googling for Greasemonkey tutorials, it's not like you have any context.

buy that book on the right

$ perl -e "tutorials == documentation ? print 'YHBT' :print 'IHBT'"

Okay, here is your tutorial:
1. Create .user.js file
2. Add headers (like your name and copyright information [this is important!], just copypasta from another Greasemonkey script)
3. Each script basically runs when the page executes onload, so you don't have to explicitly hook any events.
4. Start JS'ing, e.g. window.close().
5. ???
6. Read JS reference, GM function reference, etc.

There's actually a "GreaseMonkey Hacks" book published by O'Reilly, which I came across when torrent hunting.

They actually execute when the DOM is loaded and ready for manipulation. The onload() javascript event does not happen for some time after.

No, they don't.
