Load script with each page.

[Dave Fowler]

I have a simple script that hides an image when you click on it. I
think it would be cool to have that functionality for all pages I
visit.

Is there a way to set my browser settings to automatically load that
script with each page I visit?

To do it automatically, I doubt you could do in IE without coding your
own plugin (or finding an existing one). You could probably do it easily
in Gecko based browsers.

An easy alternative is to take your script and put it in a .js file and
make sure all the variable names are as unique as possible to keep from
causing a conflict, write a routine to apply an onclick event to each
and every image in the current page, then use a bookmarklet to inject
that script into the current page.

Post the script and let's see what can be done.

Randy, Thanks for your help. The script is fairly simple (but uses
JQuery) Its actually part of the JQuery tutorial


<!-- loads thethe jquery script -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://localhost/media/base/
jquery.js"></script>

<!-- slow hide images function -->
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
// Your code here

$("img.profile").click(function(){
$(this).hide("slow");
return false;
});


});

</script>


I could use a bookmarklet, and am probably going to have to. I was
wondering however if you could automatically inject a script without
having to click the bookmark.

Sorry, this is not a support forum for junk code such as jQuery.
Try http://docs.jquery.com/Discussion for bad advice instead.

Thomas,

Didn't mean for it to be about Jquery or my junk code. Randy asked me
to post my example code so I did. The example is really
unimportant.

I'm simply wondering if anyone knows of a way to set any browser to
automatically load a script with each page it renders. It would
enable you to add some javascript features (like hiding images) to
every page you visit.

Does anyone know if this is possible, or know that it is not possible?

Thank you

If you think about it, it cannot be possible. That follows alone from the
fact that there are browsers (let alone Web user agents) that do not support
client-side J(ava)Script/ECMAScript.

You should specify your problem including the requirements for the execution
environment of your code instead of asking vaguely for a solution to the
problem introduced by your approach for a solution to your problem.

If you're using Firefox, try searching for 'greasemonkey' extension.
This allows you to program javascript to be executed on certain (or
all) pages automatically. I'm not sure of a program for this
functionality in IE.

Thomas is sociologically disturbed; don't let him upset you.

He also has not thought about the difference between "any" and "every".

Thanks. Will do.
