Hover Preview

Pops up a floating div when you hover over a link, containing the target page!

// @description    Pops up a floating div when you hover over a link, containing the target page!
// @include        *
// @version 0.0.1.20150213035046
// ==/UserScript==

// TODO:
// Don't act if the target is a file-type.  i.e. we don't want to be prompted
// to save a zip file just because we hovered on it.
// KNOWN UNFIXABLE BUG:
// Damnit some pages break out of the iframe!  Don't try to use this on
// StackOverflow links!

// if (window.document != document) {
	// return; // Don't run in iframes
// }

// Quite nice on apache file listings of .jpegs, but a bit slow.  Ideally pre-load hoverable images?
// Could be a bit heavy.  It depends on the page...
// A different bookmarklet to turn all "links to images" into "images" would be nice. :)
