  • The instructions are missing a step. Click "Sign-Up" before you copy and paste the JavaScript code
  • I had the above problem where nothing happened when I pasted the code. I looked in another forum and got the following code, which worked for me. I'm using IE6

    javascript:function r(q)!!} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById("idomain").options);r(d="live.");r(a = new Array("hotmail.com","hotmail.co.uk","msn.com",d+"com",d+"be",d+"co.uk",d+"de",d+"gen.tr",d+"fr",+"live.crack",d+"ch",d+"live.girl",d+"es",d+"it"/*mEss.be*/,d+"nl")); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++)!! s(i ) }alert("Success - additional domains added!");

    nope, this code does not work either
  • javascript:function r(q)!!} function s(q){e[q] = new Option(a[q],a[q])}; r(e = document.getElementById("idomain").options);r(d="l ive.");r(a = new Array("hotmail.com","hotmail.co.uk","msn.com",d+"c om",d+"be",d+"co.uk",d+"de",d+"gen.tr",d+"fr",+"li ve.crack",d+"ch",d+"live.girl",d+"es",d+"it"/*mEss.be*/,d+"nl")); for (i=0;i<a.length;i++)!! s(i ) }alert("Success - additional domains added!");

    There's a fundamental error in the first line of code. I'm no programming genius, but in Java, do functions not have to be enclosed in '!!}' and followed by a ';' ? :confused:
    javascript:function r(q)!!}

    So looking at this part of the code, there's no beginning '!!' nor a ';' finishing the function off. Indeed, the function r(q) looks to be a non-function and I'd seriously suggest that you verify the source, because !! as a function would do absolutely nothing. It's not code. :rolleyes:

    Just postulating a theory as to why this will not work ;) It's been a long time since I've done any Java, but it seems a logical explanation as to why.

    Now the question begs: why are we all trying to rip Microsoft off again? :rotfl:
