// Trap Submit
// version 0.4 BETA!
// 2005-07-08
//
// --------------------------------------------------------------------
//
// This is a Greasemonkey user script that traps form submission
// and displays an alert when the form is about to be submitted.
// It is meant as an example from which you can derive your own
// form-trapping scripts.
//
// To install, you need Greasemonkey: http://greasemonkey.mozdev.org/
// Then restart Firefox and revisit this script.
// Under Tools, there will be a new menu item to "Install User Script".
// Accept the default configuration and install.
//
// To uninstall, go to Tools/Manage User Scripts,
// select "Trap Submit", and click Uninstall.
