UserJS fix for Yahoo!'s global search box stealing keystrokes

, , , , ,

If you're a regular reader of this blog, then you realize how much I despise Yahoo! web developers. Their latest trick is to steal ALL keyboard input using a setTimeout event poller, then place the keystrokes into their stupid global search edit box at the top of the page. Nice going losers.

Anyhow, if you use Yahoo! Sports, and use ANY keyboard commands in Opera, then I highly recommend downloading this script.

Download/view the yahooSport.js script:
if (document.domain.match(/sports\.yahoo\.com$/)) {
  document.addEventListener("load",
    function() {
      document.sf1 = null;
    }, 0);
}

Enjoy.
