Greasemonkey + Gmail Help...

livet0ski · Post by **livet0ski** » July 20th, 2006, 9:10 pm

So here is what I would like to do with greasemonkey...

When I hit the reply button in Gmail I want this email address that is in the body of the message to be put into the "to:" field of the message and I want that email address to be removed from the body of the message.

I know some javascript and a lot of HTML. My issue is that I can't seem to be able to find the source of the Gmail page correctly because it is all Ajax-a-licious. For example its hard to do an onClick() of the reply button when I don't know what it is called. Does anyone have any hints for working with Gmail with greasemonkey? or an example script that I could learn from?

Thanks for the Help,
Pat

The DOM inspector can get you some way, though I'd really recommend a combination of the web developer toolbar and Firebug. If you search userscripts.org for gmail you should find a bunch a scripts doing various things with Greasemonkey and GMail. Be warned the entire thing is not only Ajaxified, in various frames and obfuscated but is also something of a tag soup!
