Safari Extension - Changing Predefined Javascript Variables Values
So what i am trying to achieve is to manipulate a javascript variable from a website, so that when I load the page it changes to a value I have pre determined (inmyscript.js).
In Safari's extension builder I have the following setup:
- Access Level: All (To make sure it is running correctly for the time being)
- Start Scripts: jquery.min.js (the jquery script)
- End Scritps: myscript.js (myscript)
The Start Scripts, will load the jquery script, as I want to use jquery for some DOM manipulation. The End Script is the script which contains an overwrite for the variable I am trying to change in the html document.
Currently myscript.js looks like:
$(document).ready(function(){
var numberImThinkingOf = 999;
});
For an example of what I am trying to do: The following page, prints out the value of numberImThinkingOf, by creating a new paragraph element every time the submit button is pressed.
So with out the extension it will print out
- Value: 5 开发者_StackOverflow中文版
- Value: 5
- Value: 5
If pressed three times.
However I want my Safari Extension to change the default value of the numberImThinkingOf variable once all DOM elements are loaded, to that specified in myscript.js So that when I press the submit button it will output:
- Value: 999
Ideally I don't want to manipulate the DOM so that it inserts another script element. I originally though that javascript attached variables to the window object. But I guess I was wrong. Event if I have a script such as
$(document).ready(function(){
alert(numberImThinkingOf)
});
It returns undefined. :( Any help would me much appreciated.

I believe your script and the page get different window
objects, to avoid unexpected contamination. Here's what the Safari Extensions Development Guide says:
Injected scripts have an implied namespace—you don’t have to worry about your variable or function names conflicting with those of the website author, nor can a website author call functions in your extension. In other words, injected scripts and scripts included in the webpage run in isolated worlds, with no access to each others’ functions or data.
It sounds like you need to attach this variable to the DOM in some fashion, perhaps as an attribute of a tag.
Content scripts are sandboxed, if you want to access parent page variables you have to inject <script>
tag with your code. You can find some examples here.
