Why no IE support? Which function(s) aren't supported? haz (user talk) 18:52, 6 May 2006
- I think that the Javascript does not load properly in IE. Apparently, when I tried with IE, the error message was showing about problems in the code. It may be due to the actual code, or the monobook.js.—G.He 19:12, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- It's not a known problem that's blocking it from working. I don't anticipate that there's a major problem that can't be fixed or worked around, but nobody has tried to identiy or fix the issue yet. If the toolserver is down for significant periods of time, I may do it, though others can attempt to fix it as well (eg. it's easy to make your own copy of the script and hack at it). --Interiot 19:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
- Warning: when hacking at the script, do not be stupid enough to lock yourself out of Wikipedia. (Ahem, ahem, me.) During my testing, I isolated the problem to function add_stats_row. Well, after that, let's just say I was scared to investigate further. If you want, you can start where I left off. --M@thwiz2020 21:48, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
- No matter what you do, you should always be able to turn off javascript and reload the page, or hit Alt-E or something. I think the specific circumstances that led to Mathwiz2020 being locked out were somewhat long and unlikely. (eg. for what it's worth, I've created two different utilitarian sock-puppets, Interiot2 and InteriotAWB, and they weren't blocked by anyone else). --Interiot 22:01, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

May I ask a JS question?
Just wondered if you have time; I didn't want to ask you because you seem always teribly busy. I have a function to write an input and be linked to a page http//.../INPUT, but it only worked in the preview, before editing, and when saved I only get the code (not the input box), here. Would you help me? —Argentino (talk/cont.) 22:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
So how do you make this work?
OK, the instructions for using this are:
- Open your user javascript file (most often monobook.js).
- Edit the page and copy-and-paste the code below.
- Go to User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js.
- Press the "control" and "F5" buttons on your keyboard at the same time (the page will now refresh).
- Enter your username into the box and choose "submit".
Um, 1-4 OK... but 5? What box? I don't see any box. It's just some code. Refreshing the page doesn't make a box appear. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what? Herostratus 21:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- The box you put your username in. (This box). But because I'm nice, below are your stats:

- I'm with Herostratus - there is no box (Safari 2.0.4, MacOS X 10.4.7), not even at Tuspm's "this box" wikilink. 69.194.50.122 09:03, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- Well, erm, I don't have a way to test it on Safari. But, make sure you're loading it from the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Interiot/Tool2... URL and not the en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php URL. --Interiot 09:06, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
- I wasn't doing the latter. I did get it to work finally. Had to restart the browser, and only the shift-click method worked, not the keyboard-only one. — SMcCandlish [talk] [contrib] ツ 09:27, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
auto entry submit box
How do you configure the script to submit your user name automatically? ...IMHO (Talk) 15:10, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- Use the URL that you see after you enter your name... the one with ?username= in it.... eg. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js?username=Apple --Interiot 01:13, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Safari instructions are wrong
It's cmd- not ctrl- 69.194.50.122 09:01, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
Internet Browser
Hi, could you enlighten me if Internet Explorer can use your code? Because I followed the exact instructions step-by-step and got "This counter does not currently work in Internet Explorer. Please get Firefox or use Flcelloguy's Tool instead." Your help is greatly appreciated. :D --Terrancommander 16:36, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
- This tool has no IE support. --Tuspm Talk | Contribs | E-Mail Me 17:06, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
No results?
I can't seem to get this to work - I get the input box as per normal, press the submit button and get the "Retrieving data..." message. But I don't get anything else except a message saying that the script has stopped responding. I've tried this a couple of times with the same results. Does anyone know what the problem is, and if the script works for you, could you possibly post my edit count? -- ChrisO 18:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
