In general, if a Greasemonkey script doesn’t work, check for JS errors. It’ll help you narrow down what’s wrong.

There are two limitations with that script, afaik:

  • GMail textareas don’t work,
  • textareas that are sized with “width” and “height” instead of “rows” and “cols”.

I should be able to fix that second limitation, but haven’t got to it yet. Ping me if you think that is the problem you ran into.

In fact, I’m wondering if it ain’t time to get a better, stabler, more powerful, more coherent langage to script web pages.

As simple as JS, but less forgiving, allowing less obtrusiveness (promoting unobtrusive scripts by design), and with much more powerful types… and the ability to import modules which JS clearly lacks.

Firefox is the new Emacs. JavaScript is the new LISP. Greasemonkey is the new .emacs file.
