Well, I eventually decided I wanted some slightly different behavior: When
I visit the index page, I want Conkeror to open a new buffer for each game
waiting for me to move, except for the first game's buffer, which should
replace the index page. That was relatively straightforward using
buffer_loaded_hook:
function open_boardgaming_buffers(buffer) {
var $ = $B(buffer);
var seen = { };
$("td.tabPartiesFond2 a").map(function (i) {
if (!seen[this.href]) {
seen[this.href] = true;
return { first: i == 0, href: this.href };
}
}).get().reverse().forEach(function (game) {
var target = game.first ? OPEN_CURRENT_BUFFER : OPEN_NEW_BUFFER;
browser_object_follow(buffer, target, game.href);
});
}
(I load a lightly patched jQuery into Conkeror at startup, with routines to
instantiate a jQuery object from a buffer or interactive context object.)
As for whether the page is well-formed, I woudn't want to assume that it
is, or would stay that way. I'd like to be able to get Conkeror to produce
a document object that's resulted from it making the same effort to process
possibly badly-formed HTML that it makes for ordinary web pages, but from
my Googling around that doesn't seem to be easily possible. I've read a
bit about document.implementation.createDocument, which I've never used
before, but it requires one to have a document object to start with, which
I wouldn't necessarily have.
