[ACCEPTED]-How can I get greasemonkey to call a function on a page after it loads-greasemonkey
Try using: unsafeWindow.myFunction();
More 1 details and info - http://wiki.greasespot.net/UnsafeWindow
One way to call a function in the original 22 page is like this:
location.href = "javascript:void(myFunction());";
It is a bit ugly. There 21 is also the unsafeWindow provided by GreaseMonkey too, but 20 the authors advise against using it.
unsafeWindow.myFunction();
Looks 19 neater but make sure you understand the 18 ramifications. From the manual:
unsafeWindow 17 bypasses Greasemonkey's XPCNativeWrapper-based 16 security model, which exists to make sure 15 that malicious web pages cannot alter objects 14 in such a way as to make greasemonkey 13 scripts (which execute with more privileges 12 than ordinary Javascript running in a 11 web page) do things that their authors 10 or users did not intend. User scripts 9 should therefore avoid calling or in any other 8 way depending on any properties on unsafeWindow 7 - especally if if they are executed for 6 arbitrary web pages, such as those with 5 @include *, where the page authors may 4 have subverted the environment in this 3 way.
In other words, your script elevates 2 the privileges available to the original 1 page script if you use unsafeWindow.
You could try using javascript event listeners.
These 3 execute code on response to object events 2 occurring (such as page load)
For example, to 1 execute code on page load:
window.addEventListener('load', function ()
{
/* code goes here */
}
