Its really frustraing as i leave the script to run overnight to collect credits and pop ups mainly.I have re installed the script but its no different - went to 5 packs then back to this again...

For your information, the error appears because when you click on a link while Firefox is still loading, it will stop loading the page and signal the script that the page is complete, while it is not the case. The script does not find anything familiar in the page and issues an error. <strong>Max</strong>: About 2. and 3.: the script regenerates the list of markets to go every time, so if the shopping list is empty, the market list is empty too and the script stops stalking. I chose to have a regular interval between two visits to the same market rather than switching markets every a fixed number of seconds, but I don't have a preferences in the matter.

Error in module 'page' on line 53: div is null Error in module 'card' on line 175: div is undefined Error in module 'preferences' on line 526: document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0] is undefined Error in module 'menu' on line 665: document.body is null Error in module 'stalk' on line 1585: notes is null Error in module 'browse' on line 1922: notes is null Seems like initializing variables early in the script is in order... unless this behaviour is intended... Oh, and the error message…

However since yesterday, the script has not been able to automatically pick up popups on the shopping list. The popup highlights but will not pick up. Hope you can look into it, thanks!

A few comments as always. 1: I find that if you attempt to override the script by clicking on something, a script error occurs. For example... A: You go to your pack. B: Before the script completes (The script status box shows up) you click on another page... Let's say your pack page again. C: Error message usually occurs here, and it forces a reload of the page. If you clear out the error message before the page completely reloads (and the script to complete), it will trigger another reload, causing another error message to pop up again. I find the solution is to be patient and wait for the script status box pop up before clearing out the error message. 2: An auto stop browsing when shopping list is complete. This would be overridden by the hunting for unknown cards of course. This would be desired when all you are hunting for is a couple of pop ups. 3: The stalking delay "revisit every market every X seconds"... I would rather set a "visit each market X seconds." This means that time spent in each market remains consistent, so when markets are no longer being stalked, remaining markets. When there are no more markets with stuff in the shopping list, of course auto stop. Auto stop would of course not trigger if hunting all markets for unknown cards. I'm suggesting the auto stop, mostly because if I can obtain all I need, it would keep FB wondering why I stayed up all night, clicking on credits that I don't need. (Okay, maybe they won't, but I would rather be safe than sorry) Wonderful script. A few comments as always.
