How can I redirect some page with javascript in Greasemonkey?

Hey, I want to redirect a page when it finish loading...

For example, when google.com finish loading, I want to send a javascript to search something...

How can I do it ?

Solution

  • This is simply how I would go about redirecting:

    //==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 the Google and Yahoo! URLs with something else. You don't need any external libraries (jQuery) or something complicated like that.

    I would not reccomend this as it is more of a nuisance than a help to the end user, however that depends on what the function of the script is.
