Fix yahoo mail compose editor.

Sunday, 14. October 2007, 01:42:42

After a couple of hours trying to find out why yahoo mail compose editor didn't appear in opera, I decided to open up firefox and use the modify headers extension and find out.

Then I remember I can re-request a page using js using the XMLHttpRequest object and sending the user agent from that. Then as a result, document writing the final code. Maybe I can get this to work for hotmail as well, but maybe unlikely, we'll see about that though

EDIT: Done with classic hotmail

at least on the live server anyway.

Its for the classic yahoo mail. There will be a delay, but the bar will appear.

Enjoy

LOL! :-D That's a quite neat workaround. And here I was thinking the lack of address autocomplete was un-patchable - I guess you get that too?

Suggestion: use opera's BeforeScript event and find the RTEEditorValidateMode text. Then use a synchronous request:

xhr.open('get', url, false);

to get the updated page. This will make the wait to load time faster but there won't be a delay after the page has already loaded. Also, why do you wait a full seconds to write the new contents?
