Design
I'm curious why you are injecting code, it seems to complicate things. You could put everything in the uPersist function (I'd rename the function). I'm a pretty experienced GM script writer and I wouldn't mind making the changes. If you haven't already, consider posting it on UserScripts.org (it's got version tracking and makes script installation easy, oh and it's free). -- Strife (talk|contribs) 18:51, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
P.S. The onclick attribute has fallen out of favor. addEventListener is the approved method of registering events.
- originally I had been injecting the whole script, but didn't know about the changes to GM_*Value context or some of the newer methods (haven't played with javascript for awhile since I quite doing web work)... took me awhile to dig up a useful example for grabbing variables back to the sandbox context... current version is only beta while I make sure the features I have, work, then I'll rewrite for max efficiency...
- There is a more recent version on userscripts [1] that adds jive version testing and wrappers the the GM_*Value functions for safe degrading to localStorage w/ JSON for Chrome/Opera/Safari/IE8 (although I'm not sure all the other methods will pass... I can't get a good idea what level of XPATH support they have, for instance). My understanding was that FF didn't have support for GM_* before v3 though? But that was just a matter of quick reading out of date resources...
- Oh and I didn't know you could "or" the classes like that... nice, I was reading the MSDN for XPATH and must've missed it. (I also didn't realize we have javascript code wrappers on the wiki). I'd more than welcome input/suggestion/assistance on the script, I've got a few planned feature tweaks to make it nicer (listed on the new forum under beta testers), but some of them run in different directories on the new forum, so I haven't decided whether to make them separate scripts or not to cut down on page parsing...
- The page layout on the Blogorums is... messy. and the wysiwyg editor loves to overuse and there's lots of garbage spacing every... plus I forgot to convert childNodes to getElementByTagName since in both cases there's only 1 html element in the container, and it's an anchor. anyways, I'm rambling so I'll stop here

I tried to tweak it to be better... but it turned out to be easier to rewrite it from scratch. I redid just about everything with fuzzy xpath (I love "ancestor"). This final version is a lot similar than my previous version (which instead of mod'ing the post classes on the fly, it generated custom style elements on the fly; it did not scale). It looks like there is more CSS than code.
As to debugging JS in firefox, I recommend:
- FireXPath - XPath tab in Firebug, easier to use than XPather.
- XPather - Has an excellent concise XPath help window.
