Abbreviated Javascript Library v0.1a
April 29, 2007This Javascript library shortens the names of common methods like getElementById to gEI, appendChild to aC. The purpose of this is to reduce code size and add some shortcuts. the feature list is this:
- Shortens the names of common methods like getElementById to gEI, appendChild to aC. See script comments for all abbreviations.
- It lets things like appendChild (element.aC) and the like take a string and append it as a text node automatically.
- It adds the methods element.pC and iA (prependChild and insertAfter), and gEX (element.gEX or document.gEX) (getElementsByXPath).
- It lets document.cE (createElement) take an id as a second argument and the element will have that id.
- It adds document.rE (removeElement) to go with createElement (cE).
- It makes alert() return what you pass it, so you can simply wrap a value in alert (Ex: if(alert(value) == 3) dosomething(value)
for easier code testing. - More, see script comments for full details.
Download the script here, and see the demo page here.
Note: This does not yet work in IE. I’ll fix that if there’s enough interest.
Digg + Greasemonkey = True Nested Comments
March 24, 2007This script adds a reply link to every comment. The link adds the text “@username (#xxxxxx)” to the textbox, with xxxxxx being the numeric id of the comment. The script will linkify all of these it finds, and hide the number so just the @username is visible. The reply comment will then be nested under the parent comment.

Show the Digg Button Animation on the article’s site
January 3, 2007This Greasemonkey script enables the normal animation when pressing the Digg button on an site that includes one, instead of redirecting to the digg page. Very simple script. Here’s a video showing the effect:
This saves the inconvenience of being sent to the digg page when you could just digg it right there and keep reading.
Enjoy!
