/prog/ - Greasemonkey

Name: Anonymous 2010-01-02 14:53

Hey /prog/
I need some help with greasemonkey scripting.
this is what I got:

var ad = document.getElementById('ad_left');
ad.parentNode.removeChild(ad);

It should work, but doesn't. What's wrong?

I don't know anything about greasemonkey, but I'll tell you that "doesn't work" isn't enough information for people to understand your problem. Good luck.

YEah, though Debugging 2 lines of javascript is kind of weird. I'm a beginner.

Try the error console in FF

I haven't done Javascript in years, but did you actually check that the ID was 'ad_left'. You may have mixed it up with class or some other attribute.

Experimented a little. It seems that it only works sometimes. Werid. I can remove the google logo on the front page but nothing on the results page.

Apparently 'ad' is null. Could it be because the script looks for ad_left before the page has loaded?

Try mixing an onLoad event into this somehow.

Use [code]setInterval[code] to fire you're routine every millisecond, it'll eventually work.

var ad;

while((ad = document.getElementById('ad_left')) != null) {}

ad.parentNode.removeChild(ad);

How badly could this fail?

Answer: badly, if I forget my == from my != so easily. Grumble, grumble

yeah… that was pretty bad.

and that fucking retarded script-hanging loop is the reason ~~God~~Sussman invented Events.

Screw Events. Javascript doesn't deserve them.
