I've never had to deal with moving a video, but I am knee-deep trying to modify a page that has a billion little gaming tiles placed on load absolutely positioned via a page script relative to the document window... you can imagine how much that breaks if you change anything on the page that moves these tiles. Sigh.
Something I've been toying with that holds some promise and might be useful for large number of sites: Almost every site has some sort of blank 1x1 white .gif image or otherwise almost invisible image. If you change links on a page to link to say: http://www.somesite.com/images/blank.gif?myarg=foo1 http://www.somesite.com/images/blank.gif?myarg=foo2 ... etc. You can have the browser display essentially a blank page, while you grab whatever real page you wanted (based on querysting) with XMLhttprequest, modify everything you want, and then replace the entire page with your already modified content. I doubt this would work for everything, as you mentioned you can't get say, a position property on an element that hasn't been displayed yet. If it's an inline script that is setting your element positions (it is in my case), then you can directly modify this script to position them differently before the page is even displayed. I'm also not sure about the header issues, and not sure yet how you'd deal with referenced script files, but I haven't run into anything yet that would tell me it can't be done, unlike the hard limit of having a user edit and/or install other stuff. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "greasemonkey-users" group.
