Greetings. I have recently discovered the Grease Monkey add-in for FireFox. It has a lot of potential, and I am really enjoying using it to simplify and automate some repetitive tasks I perform on a regular (several times a day) basis.
Here is what I cannot figure out:
One site I visit (PHP) generates a list of links based on certain conditions (time of day, luck of the draw, who knows?). I want to click a SPECIFIC link if it exists. If not, I'd like to reload the page and try again.
The link I want is in the format [normal url].html / something.php?a =var1&b=var2
The var1 and var2 will change based on the conditions that I have yet to determine (see above). If that link shows up on the page somewhere, then I want to click it.
I tried to use an array and just pull the link if it is there, but the number of links on the page is not constant, and the position in the array for the specified link was not constant.
I worked a small amount with some Regular Expressions until my script stopped working altogether (leading me to believe I should have paid attention in my C++ classes a little more).
If you have any ideas, I'd love to give them a try. It just seems like I'm missing something really quite simple and would like to be able to automate this task (to keep from having to click refresh several times to find the link).
I want this to work in FireFox with GreaseMonkey (which just uses standard JavaScript).
Thank you for your help.

Welcome to TSDN!
Use document.getEle mentsByTagName( "a") to get the links on the page then loop over them to check that one of them is the correct link.

I'm having some issues with a greasemonkey script i've made (nothing
serious, and you'll notice that by the mess). I made it to learn
javascript properly at first but it ended handy and now i'm addicted to
it.. However, it doesn't quite work like i'd expect it to (and like it
used to with older versions) I realise that it may be a
greasemonkey-specific question, please bare with me if it is. I figured
some of you guys may have used it...

Sorry if this is not a correct forum to post to.
I have a page from my service provider that loads 1000's of table
cells. These cells load for 3-4 mins and links on that page usually not
available untill the whole page loads. I need to find a way to "skip"
load of these cells.
Problem is that GreaseMonkey work only on a fully loaded page. What
happens is that the page loads 3-4 mins and then the cells go away once
the page loads and...

I need some help with IE browser programming (in .NET).
I'm trying to add a button to the IE toolbar, and on the click of the

I'm trying to write a script for Greasemonkey that will, in LiveJournal, replace a placeholdered embedded YouTube thing with a link to the video. In LiveJournal, you can set an option to have a placeholder instead of the actual embedded YouTube video. This is what that code looks like:

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
Here is my compilation command:
g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp
Here is the code in...

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
