If you need web scraping script, it will require mo lines of codes. Why do you need to gather all the username?
Have you played epicmafia before? If you haven't, Epicmafia is a site at www.epicmafia.com that allows you to play 'mafia' online with other players from around the world.
In a mafia game, you will be assigned to a random role, say Cop and depending on certain choices you and other players make, you will get a 'report'.
I want to write a greasemonkey script that will
1. Gather the name of the other players playing with me and send them to a list/menu on the page which I can add on my own.
2. Create other dynamic content from the list of names.
Before two days ago, I knew nothing about web designing, html, css, java, ajax and whatnot. Since I do photoshop and got myself the who CS4 suite since I'm a student, I thought hey Dreamweaver is supposed to be pretty nifty, it can do anything and well after two days I realized this need some pretty tough javascript.
Using Firebug and DOM inspector, I have identified all the ids, classes and tags, xpaths of the data I need to pull using jquery. The problem is, I can't get jQuery to work on the page as I want it to. when I create a simple test page, the jQuery scripts work fine, but when I insert them into the page they do nothing.
Another problem is I can't use any server-side stuff like php, sql etc cause that would be hacking and cheating at the same time. It has to be strictly client-side.
