Focus the Mechanical Turk IFrame. Useful for many HITs, especially those that use keyboard controls.

I'm using this 'clickhappier-archive' account to post archival copies of old MTurk-related userscripts from userscripts-mirror.org (which is itself an archive of the defunct site userscripts.org) and forum posts, which their authors or others haven't re-posted on Greasyfork yet. Some of these may no longer be all that interesting as more recent scripts may do what they do better, but some remain very useful.

This script was archived from one of the few surviving copies here (I haven't seen it on userscripts-mirror); it was first posted about here, linking to a now-defunct URL on the site of a former consultant for requester '11223344'.

Script Name: Focus mTurk IFrame

Last update ~April 2013?

Script Summary: Focus the Mechanical Turk IFrame. Useful for many HITs, especially those that use keyboard controls.

Version: 1.0

Note from Clickhappier: In most cases, I personally use mmmturkeybacon Scroll To Workspace, which includes a similar iframe-focus function. But for when/if you ever want to get the focus without the scrolling, this script can still be useful.

Described by mmmturkeybacon in Apr 23, 2013 forum post: "11223344 shared a greasemonkey script that always shifts focus to the HIT's content (iframe) whenever the HIT page is loaded. It's helpful for HITs where you want to do everything with the keyboard. www.mturkconsultant.com/scripts/focus_iframe.user.js "
