Hi all,
I am a student from Japan and now I have to do some project and I
would like to write some greasemonkey userscript and actually I am in
doubt whether it could be able to implement or not as a userscript and
I would like you to give me some advices and suggestions.
Firstly, I would like to describe what I want to do. Although it's not
so complicated, it's a bit educational. I want to retrieve some XML
databases and use it in the userscript.
* First when a script is loaded into the browser, I will get all
the text from the web page.
* And I already have my own XML databases in my Apache Web Server
( more than 20 XML files and in one XML file, there would be more than
75 records).
* I will match those keywords in my XML file with each word (text
node) from the web page.
* And if any match is found, I will change those words in the web
page to hyperlinks and show the modified page to the user.
* There would be same keyword in more than two or three XML files
or may be in the same XML file and in that case, I will provide a pop-
up menu in which user can choose the link. But it would be the ranked
list of link like some search engine. So, I also would like to include
some algorithms like retrieving and comparing the retrieved data from
the web page and then ranking the keywords.
What I would like to implement for every web page loaded into the
browser and I just only have to implement it in client-side.(it's my
project limitation)
So, do you think I can implement it as a Greasemonkey userscript or
not. I have already written a userscript for one XML file using
xmlhttpRequest. It has no problem. But I am not sure it is ok for a
large XML databases and the userscript I implemented has no algorithm
for same keyword case (bullet 5).
How do you think? Do you think Greasemonkey can handle it or has some
limitations. Or should I implement it as a firefox extension using XUL
or my own stand-alone extension like greasemonkey using some
programming languages such as Java. But the limitation is that I have
to implement it as a client-side extension.
And if it is not be able in greasemonkey, then can someone give me
some guidelines?
Thanks in advance.
With regards,
Pont
