    <p>I am creating a script for GMail, which requires me to duplicate various links on left side like inbox, all mail, spam and compose. I have all the links working except compose. I can't figure out what's going when I click on. You can find my code below. I'd appreciate any help</p> <pre><code>// ==UserScript== // @name GMC Test // @namespace com.pbg // @description test // @include http*://mail.google.com* // ==/UserScript== //loading function function tryAgain(tries) { setTimeout(function() { init(tries++); }, 1000*tries); } //gets a node by XPath function getNodeByXPath(expression, parent) { var r = parent.evaluate(expression, parent, null, XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE, null); return ((r != null) ? r.iterateNext() : null); } //initialize function init(tries) { tries = tries || 0; if (tries &gt; 3) return; // give up, too many tries // Locate the canvas_frame iframe var f = document.getElementById("canvas_frame"); if (f == null) return tryAgain(tries); // Locate the document var doc = f.contentWindow.document; if (doc == null) return tryAgain(tries); // make sure all the links are loaded if (getNodeByXPath("//a[contains(@href,'#inbox')]", doc) == null) return tryAgain(tries); go(); } function go() { function fireEvent(xPath,event)//https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/element.dispatchEvent { var evt = document.createEvent("MouseEvents"); evt.initMouseEvent(event, true, true, window, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, false, false, false, false, 0, null); var cb = getNodeByXPath(xPath, doc); var canceled = !cb.dispatchEvent(evt); GM_log("event canceled = " + canceled); } var doc = document.getElementById("canvas_frame").contentWindow.document; //THE LINE BELOW WORKS //setTimeout(function(){GM_log("let's click starred!");fireEvent("//a[contains(@href,'#starred')]", "click")}, 5000); //THIS DOENS'T WORK setTimeout(function(){GM_log("now let's click compose!");fireEvent("//div[@class='J-Zh-I J-J5-Ji L3')]", "click")}, 5000); } window.addEventListener('load', init, false ); </code></pre>

    2. CO@PowerUser: Thought the same thing... But Google should be pretty smart to catch bots sending email. 2, you can use GMAIL directly through SMTP. So why would you do that with GreaseMonkey?

    3. COWell, if all you know is GreaseMonkey and you wanted to make a cheap spambot without learning any new languages, then it's one way to go (no matter how inefficient it is).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
