Same

How confusing, two people named DT making GM scripts for the shoutbox.

-dt-'s script seems to have some unresolved issues though, so maybe it's good to have competition.

Actually, it works in Opera too. See http://opera.com/support/tutorials/userjs/examples/#greasemonkey

I have a few suggestions though...

1) The include/exclude code could be improved. Here's what I'm using...

code:

---

// @include        msghelp.net/shoutbox.php*
// @include        *.msghelp.net/shoutbox.php*
// @exclude        *action=stats*
// @exclude        *action=edit*

---

To exclude pages > 1, this should do the trick...

code:

---

var linktags = document.getElementsByTagName('link');
for(var i=0; i<linktags.length; i++) {
    if(linktags[i].rel == 'prev') return;
}

---

And to exclude other pages like theme, help, error, etc.

code:

---

if(typeof(document.msgform) == 'undefined') return;

---

2) It would be nice to have a switch to toggle the refresh on and off.

3) The refresh shouldn't touch the message field at all, it should just replace the shouts and the users online. I noticed that the refresh can interrupt my typing.

I'll probably post more suggestions/bugs later.

OR, you could make the refresh better for your shoutbox to fix a few of these annoying things

Well, then I don't really know. I think the input box is focused already, so this shouldn't happen. I will try to find some workaround.

Another strange problem.
Before it reloads, it save the message field's value, selection position, and restore it after the reload has finished. I should match things better.

dt's has even more functionality though =(

And works great without any problems for me. I've been using them since he released 'em
dt's svn is currently down to a certain "problem" and shall be back up soon (hopefully ) Once it is, I'm sure people can see his work as well
For me his code works without any problems cause if they have problems I trouble him till he fixes it (yes he is lazier than WDZ )
