Title Having it Your Way on the Web with GreaseMonkey Category Programming
Speaker Eric Promislow Sponsor ActiveState Software Inc.
Details Many people don't realize how fluid a medium the web can be.   HTML is mostly text, and text is the easiest medium to manipulate.   And GreaseMonkey, a Firefox extension, is a great tool for modifying HTML so it works for you.

This talk will give an overview of GreaseMonkey.   We'll discuss how to get started with GreaseMonkey, show some simple examples, and point out how to find out which parts of the Mozilla API you'll need to find out more about in order to write more ambitious macros.

Participants should be comfortable with JavaScript, and be able to follow IDL (a C-like type description language).   No further knowledge of Firefox or Mozilla internals is necessary.
