How Do I Open A List Of Pages Automatically And Sequentially?

I wish to load a list of webpages sequentially, with Greasemonkey. var list = array ('http://www.google.com', 'site2', 'site3', 'site4'); window.location.href = list[0]; The scrip

Solution 1:

This approach, for Chrome, will also work in Greasemonkey.

Put your sites in an array, like that, but you must also set your @include, @exclude, and @match directives to fire on the appropriate sites.

Putting it all together, here's a complete script:

// ==UserScript==// @name        Multipage, MultiSite slideshow of sorts// @include     http://google.com/*// @include     http://site2/*// @include     http://site3/*// @include     http://site4/*// @grant       GM_addStyle// ==/UserScript==/*- The @grant directive is needed to work around a major design
    change introduced in GM 1.0.
    It restores the sandbox.
*/var urlsToLoad  = [
    'http://google.com/'
    , 'http://site2/somepage/'
    , 'http://site3/somepage/'
    , 'http://site4/somepage/'
];

/*--- Since many of these sites load large pictures, Chrome's and 
    Firefox's injection may fire a good deal before the image(s) 
    finish loading.
    So, insure script fires after load:
*/window.addEventListener ("load", FireTimer, false);
if (document.readyState == "complete") {
    FireTimer ();
}
//--- Catch new pages loaded by WELL BEHAVED ajax.window.addEventListener ("hashchange", FireTimer,  false);

functionFireTimer () {
    setTimeout (GotoNextURL, 5000); // 5000 == 5 seconds
}

functionGotoNextURL () {
    var numUrls     = urlsToLoad.length;
    var urlIdx      = urlsToLoad.indexOf (location.href);
    urlIdx++;
    if (urlIdx >= numUrls)
        urlIdx = 0;

    location.href   = urlsToLoad[urlIdx];
}

Solution 2:

Two ways I can think of for doing this are:

Using gm_getvalue, gm_setvalue to retrieve, store the index of current site in list to Greasemonkey's persistent memory.

Or, using something like:

setTimeout(function(){
    window.location.href = (list.length > list.indexOf(window.location.href)) ? list[list.indexOf(window.location.href)+1] : list[0];
},5000)
