contentscript.js

Pages initially load at fully opacity, and fade out to their appropriate level when the traceroute has completed.

// make xhr request to traceroute counting script; return hop count converted to a float
function getTraceRouteCount(callback) {
  var currentUrl = window.location.host;
  var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
  xhr.onreadystatechange = function(data) {
    if (xhr.readyState == 4) {
      if (xhr.status == 200) {
        var data = xhr.responseText;
        callback(data);
      } else {
        callback(null);
      }
    }
  }
 
  var url = "http://pzwart3.wdka.hro.nl/~egreenhalgh/cgi-bin/hopsToPercent2.py?url="+ currentUrl;
  xhr.open('GET', url, true);
  xhr.send();
};
 

// begin to fade out the page
waitUntilExists(document,function(){  
  $("body").fadeTo(9000, 0.7); 
});

// when xhr request returns data, stop page fade and set to appropriate opacity
function opacityFade(data) {
  if(data) {
   $("body").stop().fadeTo(2000, data); 
   //console.log(data);
  }
}

getTraceRouteCount(opacityFade);
