since greasemonkey doesn’t start its work until after a page has fully loaded, I don’t think you need an event listener, and you can add functions into the head like this:

/*
linefeeds in the newjs string keep the code readable when you view generated source and can help when you’re debugging in venkman, although line numbers will be a bit off in venkman.
*/

var newjs=’\n’+
‘var foo=”Howdy!”;\n’+
‘\n’+
‘function bar(foo){\n’+
‘ alert(foo);\n’+
‘}\n’+
‘\n’;

var newscript=document.createElement(’script’);
newscript.setAttribute(’type’,'text/javascript’);
newscript.setAttribute(’id’,'myscript’); // optional
newscript.innerHTML=newjs;
var head=document.getElementsByTagName(’head’).item(0);
head.appendChild(newscript);

I’m not sure I understand your question. In firefox, via Greasemonkey, it just works. Of course, I don’t know much about rmlsweb.com. Maybe I didn’t set up the script right; I’ve only been using it from the perspective of RMLS search results sent to me by my agent. (I’d don’t have my own account.)

I’d be happy to take a patch if you find a better way to have it work. Right now it just installs an override for the “ShowMap” javascript function, which is used on rmlsweb.com’s search results to pop a MapQuest map.

Thanks!

how did you get this to work on firefox? Did you use the IE tab extension? Because thats the way I have it set up on my computer but your script doesn’t seem to work.
