Sneaky, and enormously helpful.

You can pretty much use this trick everywhere...

I doubt this works. All it does is change the client side DOM. When the form gets sent to the server they can still ignore those friends.

Thank you. I went back and looked, and you're right, it seems that it didnt submit ALL friend requests, only about a hundrad apperently.

You can use this jQuery to click all friends who are clickable:

1) jQuery(".fbProfileBrowser .fcb.fwb.text").click()
