question on forcing a browser to always display date and time on every page

Post #394,580 by boxley 9/13/14 9:13:07 PM Reply	question on forcing a browser to always display date and time on every page Cant use simple clocks as it checks a tzdata file at google.com on every browser restart. This is in a clean environment with zero access outside of the enclave. Using imacros on firefox and tried foxclock but it displays in the addon bar which doesnt exist anymore on firefox. Anyone have any ideas?

Works on http:// by default but can also be made to work on file:// URLs. Greasemonkey is similar to iMacros but manipulates the DOM tree and can insert arbitrary nodes. I haven't used it, but it invariably comes up if someone goes looking for a method to fix broken websites outside their control.

He has a "Pie filter" for Balloon-Juice (it replaces text of user-selected trolls with ranting about pies) that works really well. It uses Greasemonkey and similar tools. It seems to be a fancified version of the CSS that some masters were using here back in olden times, but it's got buttons and stuff and is very easy to use. http://ok-cleek.com/blogs/?page_id=19041 Looking at the script may give you some ideas. Cheers, Scott.

FoxClocks seems to work for me. http://www.w3schools.com/js/tryit.asp?filename=tryjs_timing_clock Dunno how you would add that to each page without messing everything else up, but presumably it's just a SMOP. ;-) I just installed FoxClocks on the latest FF (Winders). After installation, if you go to FF and RMB click on the top to bring up the popup menu (with Menu Bar / Bookmark Toolbar / Customize...) Select Customize... Then drag the blue Earth icon up to the toolbar and drop it. At that point, when I hover the mouse over that icon, I get a small popup with the previously configured times listed. Is that good enough? HTH a little. Cheers, Scott.
