The script is really simple. If I’m on a form in edit mode (https://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/*?OpenForm*) it composes the signature, inserts it in the body field and sets focus to the subject field if it’s empty (a new post) or the body field if it’s a reply. Sweet and simple.

// ==UserScript==
// @name          Notes/Domino 6/7 Forum Signature
// @namespace     https://lekkimworld.com/greasemonkey/ldd6_signature
// @description	  Inserts my LDD6/7 Forum signature
// @include       http*://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd6forum.nsf/*?OpenForm*
// ==/UserScript==

var e_subject = document.getElementById("Subject");
var e_body = document.getElementById("Body");

// compose signature
var signature = "nn/Mikkel HeisterbergnVisit my Notes/Domino blog " +
    "@ http://lekkimworld.comnfor posts on Notes/Domino " +
    "and how to use Java in Notes/Domino...";

// set signature
e_body.value = signature;

// set focus
if (e_subject.value == "") {
   e_subject.focus();
} else {
   e_body.focus();
   e_body.setSelectionRange(0, 0);
}

To install in Firefox you need Greasemonkey installed. Copy’n’paste the code above to a text file ending in .user.js and then drag the file onto Firefox to install. The tags at the top of the code determines the URL where the script should run, the name of the script etc.

The caveat is the call to the setSelectionRange() method to move the caret to the start of the Body textarea after setting the focus. Without this method the cursor would be at the end of the body field after the signature.

Feel free to change the script if need be…

Updated on 23 June 2006: Small change to make sure the script kicks in when connecting using HTTPS and HTTP.
