hi, I’m trying to program a web ‘task page’ thats automatically loads a list of web pages in new windows upon the loading of the page,
reason being, I visit a few cerain web sites each day, and rather than bookmark them and open them individually, I’d like to do it all at once simply by loading one page…
can anyone tell me how I would go about coding/scripting this in HTML?
heres a simplified version of what I’d like to do;
onload; open following list of pages(enter hyperlink(s)) and repeat if the page doesn’t load…
You’re working too hard. Create all your bookmarks in one folder of
bookmarks in Firefox and then notice the ‘Open All in Tabs’ option below
all of the individual bookmarks. This will open all of your bookmarks in
new tabs. Tada.
Good luck.

heh yar! I were trying to set-up a script to give spamming sites hell yar! (why am I talking like a pirate?)
pretty much I want this script to submitt it (instead of an email address) to one of those ‘spam engine websites’ you know the kind that the entire site only has one page and that page has the ‘put your email in here to unsubscribe from our mailing list’ box…
I wanted to put the script in there telling thier site to open a quadrillion large webpages at once, forcing thier server/computer to overload and shut down…
not to mention it will get the server owner’s attention as to the fact theres a spam site on their server…
Ah… so what you really want to do is to submit a single form over and
over again? You’ll never pull this off with a browser… a web server
doesn’t care about a couple hundred requests in a minute even if you can
get that many in a browser (seriously doubt it… you’ll kill your own
box first). If you want to do this the right way look into ‘curl’ or
‘wget’. You need to do some research and find out how the form works to
automate the submission. Check out the Live HTTP Headers add-on for
Firefox to help you figure out which variables to post (assuming they use
POST variables) or if they use GET variables then you can just loop and
call curl with the URL including those variables over and over.
Be careful as what you have described may not fall on the legal side of
the law, much less the ethical side.
Good luck.
