How can I redirect some pages using javascript in Greasemonkey?

Question

Hey, I want to redirect the page when it finishes loading ...

For example, when google.com finishes loading, I want to send javascript to search for something ...

How can i do this?

Answer 1

This is just how I will redirect:

//==UserScript== // @name Redirect Google // @namespace whatever.whatever... // @description Redirect Google to Yahoo! // @include http://www.google.com // @include http://www.google.com/* // @include http://*.google.com/* //==/UserScript== window.location = "http://www.yahoo.com" 

... of course, replacing Google and Yahoo! URLs with something else. You don't need external libraries (jQuery) or anything like that.

I would not recommend this, as this is more of a nuisance than helping the end user, however it depends on what the script function is.

Use window.location.replace(url) if you want to redirect the user so that the current page is forgotten by the back button, because otherwise, if you use window.location = url , then when the user clicks the back button ", and again release the page they were just on.

This method is the most flexible that I have found so far. It is easy to specify multiple redirects in one script:

 // ==UserScript== // @name Redirector // @namespace http://use.iEyour.homepage/ // @version 0.1 // @description enter something useful // @match http://*/* // @copyright 2012+, You // @run-at document-start // ==/UserScript== //Any page on youtube.com is automatically redirected to google.com - you can use this //function to redirect from any page to any other page. redirectToPage("http://www.youtube.com/", "http://www.google.com"); //You can put several of these redirects in a single script! redirectToPage("en.wikipedia.org", "http://www.stackoverflow.com"); function redirectToPage(page1, page2){ if(window.location.href.indexOf(page1) != -1){ window.location.href = page2; } }
