How do you make Greasemonkey Click a link that has specified text?
Alright basically i want to click a link that changes but always has the same text name. Heres an example of what the code might be
<a href="unlock.php?confirm=MD5hashere">Click Here</a>
Solution 1:
Here is a starter script that does that. Note that it uses jQuery and assumes you are running Firefox or using Tampermonkey, if you are on Chrome.
// ==UserScript==
// @name _YOUR_SCRIPT_NAME
// @include http://YOUR_SERVER.COM/YOUR_PATH/*
// @require http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js
// @grant GM_addStyle
// ==/UserScript==
/*- The @grant directive is needed to work around a design change
introduced in GM 1.0. It restores the sandbox.
*/
//--- Note that the contains() text is case-sensitive.
var TargetLink = $("a:contains('Click Here')")
if (TargetLink.length)
window.location.href = TargetLink[0].href
