Well here is a quick script I wrote. There are two versions. One for GreaseMonkey (Firefox) and one for Trixie (Same idea but IE). So when you come to a "forbidden" or "error" page on the system the script will dynamically draw a forward and backwards button for you on the page ( Read more... )

Interesting. So you opt'd to just replace the content of the page. I thought about doing that except that the error varied so much that it was easier to make the script smaller for management reasons.

For instance your body length check would fail on some of the error pages I've seen. Although it would catch most of the simple ones. Also I've seen apache style errors that dont' say "forbidden" at all.

But the script I originally put up didn't work for you? Or you just didn't like the output?

huh. i guess it's not very intelligent.

and i didn't like that i couldn't get back to lj easily if i didn't care to continue with that user's journal. so. didn't like the output. and i wanted it to look more like lj so i knew it wasn't some other funky page.

i take things and enhance them as i see fit. no disrespect to your script. just took it and hacked it into something else. :)

i'm not an awesome JS hacker, but, maybe you could take my idea and turn it into something else. maybe instead of using actual html to make the header and footer, you could use images and imagemaps.

It wouldn't be hard to expand the menu system. Granted there is an issue of you having to edit the js file if you want to specify your particular home page ( ... )

FYI, Opera supports greasemonkey userJS scripts :)

Good to know. I'm going to hope it's compatible since I don't see any complaints. :)
