Development

EJAF extension works by selecting elements on the page and setting the values automatically. This works in most cases, except when the website has a greenhouse job form embedded.

How to check?

$("iframe")

If the result has an id of grnhse, the page has a Greenhouse job form embed.

Add the embed/greenhouse.js under the appropriate hostname entry in manifest.json.

Add a switch statement to extract the job ID from the browser's URL in embed/greenhouse.js. Open a new tab with the appropriate greenhouse jobID.

Add this new URL to manifest.json and now create a companies/*COMPANY*.js to handle filling these fields.
