Show/Hide Scriptlet

The show/hide scriptlet is a small piece of script that we use in many HIT-specific Greasemonkey scripts. Because it is embedded, it is not a script that can be downloaded independently.

Description:

This scriptlet hides the instructions in a HIT. The instructions can be viewed by clicking on "show instructions." If the instructions change, a warning will appear, saying "Instructions appear to have changed. Click link above to view instructions." After the user views the changed instructions, they can click "Don't warn me about this change again" to accept the new set of instructions. After clicking this link, the changed-instructions warning won't appear again, unless the instructions change another time.



Other notes:

We don't think instructions should ever be completely removed from a HIT. A worker needs the ability to review the instructions as necessary. However, after doing hundreds, if not thousands of HITs, a worker does not need to scroll through identical instructions hit after hit.

On first install, the user will receive the changed-instructions warning, and will have to click "Don't warn me about this change again."
