How to execute JQuery commands from GM user scripts?

[Ben Stover]

In a previous post I asked how to delete a whole div pane like

<div id="foobar">
....
</div>

and an answer was:

$("#foobar").remove();

Thank you.

I wrote this statement into a user script

myscript.user.js

and installed it on my current Firefox.

However when I called the web page then the div pane remains and is not deleted.

Why?

I assume that I cannot call JQuery statements directly from *.user.js scripts.

How else can I call them?

So do I have to wrap them somehow:

CallJQeury("$("#foobar").remove();");

Before installing the script, you need a line like this in the meta
data description of the userscript.

// @require
http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js

If you have already installed the script, you need to uninstall and
install again, since required libraries are only downloaded on
installation.

That has not been true for a while.

"Live in-place editing for the entire script, including metadata (@name, @require, @include, @exclude, etc.)."

If you script is meant to do some trivial things, and the page itself
has JQuery, you can try unsafeWindow to access the page window object.
e.g. unsafeWindow.$("#foobar").remove();

Ok what about if The library is already loaded into FF because another script needs it?

 

Is there a JQuery library-per-Firefox-instance or one library-per-Greasemonkey-Script?
