Hi, I want a custom page
analysis footer on every site I visit... so I've used a method to attach JQuery to unsafeWindow.
I then create a floating footer on the page. I want to be able to call commands in a menu, do some processing, then put the results in the footer. Unfortunately it sometimes works, sometimes it doesn't.
At least two alerts should happen in the printOutput function. Sometimes it only fires one, then it (crashes?) without error? On other pages, both alerts fire and it finds the element, but it doesn't add the extra
text. (e.g. www.linode.com)
Refreshing the page, then running the printOutput command again seems to always work.
Does anyone know what's going on???
The userscript can be installed at:

document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(GM_JQ);
var jqueryActive = false;
//Check if jQuery's loaded
function GM_wait()
{
if(typeof unsafeWindow.jQuery == 'undefined')
{ window.setTimeout(GM_wait,100); }
else
{ $ = unsafeWindow.jQuery; letsJQuery(); }
}
GM_wait();
function letsJQuery()
{
jqueryActive = true;
setupOutputFooter();
}
