Chickenfoot is a Firefox add-on that puts a programming environment in the browser's sidebar so you can write scripts to automate web browsing and manipulate web pages. In Chickenfoot, scripts are written in a superset of Javascript that includes special functions specific to web tasks.
Quick Start Guide
Chickenfoot's user interface is a Firefox sidebar. Use View >> Sidebar >> Chickenfoot (or press F8) to make it appear.
· Script Editor: Type Javascript or Chickenfoot code here and press Run to run it.
· Output: View the result of the last script you ran. Use the output() command to display messages here from anywhere in your script.
· Patterns: Enter keyword patterns here to see what they match on the web page.
· Triggers: Install Chickenfoot scripts so that they run any time you visit a certain web page.
Try this simple script to see Chickenfoot in action:
go("google.com")
enter("uist 2005")
click("google search")
Requirements:
· Firefox 1.0 - 3.0b5
Optional: To use LAPIS patterns in Chickenfoot, install the LAPIS extension below, which defines the TC class. Some of the examples on the Chickenfoot web site currently depend on the TC class, but we are working to eliminate this requirement, because LAPIS is too slow for convenient use.
What's New in This Release:
· Bug fixes for Firefox 3: "Trying to load non-local URI" bug fixed in FF3 Extension packager now written in Javascript, not Java.
