Having Fun with Javascript

Because this site relies so intemperately on javascript, and because we can typewrite javascript into the code bar, that way we can "poke" into the excavation of facebook to do things that we wouldn't normally be competent to do. It's not "hacking" just, but it employs the like sort of skills hackers use when hunt into applications. The advisable strain is that because it's all using the identical contain codes (or "API") that facebook uses, there's no way for facebook to hear out you're doing it, so it's totally unhurt! (I think…) Likewise, we're not achievement to be doing anything too dodgy, just a few soft tweaks ;)

Taxicab: Sending your friends offline. Here's a unusual one; if you're chatting to a, get them to paste the shadowing code into their communicate bar:

It'll make them go offline! Of direction it's not enduring, they can go posterior online by clicking the picture as practice, or by gift the homophonic compel again Facebook Program: Vary colouring. Facebook Drudge: Vary your epithet (temporarily)

This one's a rattling pointed program that you can hold to any website. As you saw in the screenshot above, I'd changed my facebook to communicate as "Facebook | Leet Hax0r". You can do this by using the following:

Sadly, your friends instrument exclusive see your true canvass, not the new one, but it can pass for whatsoever recreation in a computer lab teaching or anywhere where you can exhibit grouping meet to confronting.

If you're chatting to a individual and necessary to closelipped the window, careful you can honourable emit the 'x' in the top corner, but isn't it icebox to do it with javascript? Asymptomatic no not really, but if you can deceive your person into typing the masses code in, you can chummy the schmoose pane of anyone they're chatting to:

That testament incommunicative my thrush with. You can channel your friends that circuit with your own facebook ID in it, and it'll their thrush pane with you! And when they paste it in it'll approximate their jaw with 333!

The hacks above are the most proud, but there are a few new younger things you can do which are mildly riveting:
Create up online friends listing. Work up exercise tab:

Pass book emboldened or underlined in facebook chitchat: use *stars* for steep book, and _underscores_ for underlined. There is no way to get italic schoolbook on facebook; see my statement here most facebook claver italics.

That's all the hacks I've constitute (but I know there are many). In fact, it's doable to get your friends to "like", or "unlike" items, and I guess it would be viable to get them to observe and much, but the complexity of the javascript makes it not worth doing, plus you get to get them to adhesive encrypt into their writing bar - there's no way to do it without getting them to do that.
