Check value of another page in jQuery

I am trying to write a very simple GreaseMonkey script that will check if the value of another page on the site and return a message accordingly. I can make this work on it's own page but not when looking at another page:

(function() { 
    $.get('/active', function(result){       
        if (/1/i.test (document.body.innerHTML) )
        {
            alert ("Found it!");
        }
    });  
})();

How does one reference and check the value of another page?

Solution

  • document.body.innerHTML relates to the page that you're on. You want to check the returned result instead.

    (function() {
  $.get('/active', function(result) {       
    if (/1/i.test(result)) {
      alert ("Found it!");
    }
  });  
})();
