The original creator of Greasemonkey, Aaron Boodman, said this about its creation:
- Greasemonkey was heavily inspired by Adrian Holovaty's site-specific extension for All Music Guide and the conversation which ensued after he published it. There were tons of sites I wanted to create SSE's for, but fully-fledged Firefox extensions proved too cumbersome. I wanted it to be as easy to create an SSE as it is to write DHTML.
This time Sam hardcoded the password into the script. However, the password is long and complex, and Sam is often forgetful. So he wrote a script that would email his password to him automatically in case he forgot. Here is the script:
<form action="/missions/basic/4/level4.php" method="post"><input name="to" value="cleavell332@hotmail.com" type="hidden"><input value="Send password to Sam" type="submit"></form>
<form action="/missions/basic/4/index.php" method="post">
<input name="password" type="password">
<input value="submit" type="submit"></form>
