Grease Monkey is a firefox extension that enables you to add scripts & bits of code to any site on the web. Installed grease monkey scripts can be as simple as preventing links from opening in new windows, and as complex as visulaizing change in a wiki. There’s a ton of scripts available on greasemonkeyed.com.
Thanks to online documentation, Dive into Grease Monkey, it’s real simple to learn how to create your own user scripts. The tiniest bit of javascript familiarity will help, as you copy & paste your way to your very own grease monkey script. Which leads to my personal need for a better way of viewing baseball statistics in my yahoo fantasy league.
When updating your daily rosters it’s nice to compare, say - today’s 3 potential first basemen; and their stats over the past week. It’s currently not very usable for comparing stats. It’d be nice if you could highlight multiple rows, that way you can visually compare the rows of stats to see your best option for today’s first baseman. Super simple, but not built into yahoo. As I said earlier, thanks to Grease Monkey and some basic js knowledge you can make yahoo’s fantasy league even better.
Some more functionality would be nice; right now you have to refresh the page to remove any highlighted rows, It’d be nice if another click would remove the highlighting, so please - feel free to improve.
Install the script - fantasyleague.user.js

sounds like an awesome tool. would be good for testing for sure. i like how firefox lets you make changes to style sheets. it really helps when trying to get the layouts just right.

Caleb - I assume you’re referring to the Web developer extension? Comes in handy, for sure.
