Ok, so i'm finally stepping out of the z80 asm help section to ask for some help of my own. What i want to do is write a Firefox bookmark that will let me type in a keyword followed by a word, then pass that word to a dictionary website and get the definition.

For Firefox, normally i will create a bookmark, eg. http://www.wordreference.com/fren/%s, give it the keyword fren, and then to get a French to English definition i can type "fren salut" in the URL bar.

However, the website i'm trying to use now seems a bit more complicated, it uses frames for one. I found the page sercxu.pl which lets me add a value like i normally would, (http://reta-vortaro.de/cgi-bin/sercxu.pl?sercxata=helpi), but it doesn't send the information. Also, since the information is loaded in the other frame, nothing happens when i click "trovu" (find). I've written a small script that will fill out the form on the homepage and send it:

Code:

However, where i'm having trouble is opening the website and filling in the form once the site has loaded. The problem is that the code above gets run before the other page loads, so nothing happens. Here's the full code i've got so far:

Code:

If anyone's got any ideas (or a way that works), please let me know

The basic idea is to add an event listener for when the page finished loading.
You can do that with something like this:

Code:

EDIT: perhaps you also have to wait until the frames have loaded, i never dealt with frames before. My guess would be doing something like window.frames[1].addEventListener blahblahblah

Thanks for the reply, but i can't seem to get that to work from the URL bar... The code i put in between the brackets doesn't get run. It just says "Undefined" in the console, but i'm not sure what is undefined. Something in addEventListener, i think.

EDIT: OK, i got this to work by using GreaseMonkey to run the script after the page loads. I use a bookmark in Firefox to be able to type from the URL bar, for example for the Lernu dictionary i can type "leo + word", for example "leo helpi". It turns that into "http://eo.lernu.net/cgi-bin/vortaro.pl?word=helpi". Then my script:

Code:
...does its magic.

The Reta Vortaro was a bit more complicated, i ended up just using a short delay before running the script:

Code:


Anyway, now i can look up stuff in both dictionaries by searching from the URL bar

Raceconditions are a very bad programming style
And what do you mean with from the url bar?
