There is a Firefox extension called FoxReplace which will replace arbitrary text strings on a web page, but I'm curious how to do it in js. If you're looking to waste some time, below is 'my' greasemonkey script. It's basically a cut-and-paste from a tutorial I found. It successfully replaces strings within the text portion of the page, but I'm not sure how to modify it to perform the substitution on the data-description tag for images.
Here's an example page from the Oregonian. <http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2014/12/no_strangers_to_the_comeback_trail_blazers_do_it_a.html> When the below script is applied to this page, 'Moda Center' becomes 'Rose Garden', but only in the text. The captions for the images remain unchanged. I'd like to know how to modify the captions too. // ==UserScript== // @name rose_garden // @namespace http://localhost // @description replace the corporate sponsor // @include http://www.oregonlive.com/* // @version 1 // @grant none // ==/UserScript== textNodes = document.evaluate("//text()", document, null, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null); var searchRE = new RegExp('the moda center','gi'); var replace = 'moda center'; for (var i=0;i<textNodes.snapshotLength;i++) { var node = textNodes.snapshotItem(i); node.data = node.data.replace(searchRE, replace); } var searchRE = new RegExp('moda center','gi'); var replace = 'the Rose Garden'; for (var i=0;i<textNodes.snapshotLength;i++) { var node = textNodes.snapshotItem(i); node.data = node.data.replace(searchRE, replace); } thanks, galen -- Galen Seitz [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
