CrystalEye

CrystalEye Greasemonkey:

Installation:
To use CrystalEye Greasemonkey, you will need to be using the Mozilla Firefox browser, and have the Greasemonkey extension installed (a very simple one-click installation from this webpage). Once you have done this, you can install the script from this page at Userscripts (again, a one-click webpage installation).

You can then enable/disable the script by going to the 'Tools' menu in the top-left of the Firefox window, and selecting Greasemonkey and then click on Manage User Scripts . From this window you can enable/disable/uninstall the script.

Explanation:
Greasemonkey is a Mozilla Firefox extension that allows users to install scripts that make on-the-fly changes to specific web pages. This Greasemonkey script (which was created by modifying Pedro Beltrao's script) is activated whenever you browse a publisher's website that is scraped by CrystalEye.

If you were browsing the table of contents for a particular issue of Acta Crystallographica B, without the Greasemonkey script installed, the top of an abstract for an article containing crystallography might look like this:

However, with the script installed, whenever a DOI is found in a page it asks the CrystalEye site whether it has this DOI listed as containing one or more crystal structures. If so, then CrystalEye returns its URLs of the descriptions of those structures corresponding to the given DOI. The Greasemonkey then adds the CrystalEye logo, with one or more numbered links pointing to the relevant URLs (as below):

Clicking one of these links will take you to a page displaying the structure and providing links to its data:
