[Feature Request] Episode Counts for "Want to Watch" anime

[eibwen]

This may be a duplicate, but nevertheless:

I have enough trouble trying to keep track of ~140 "Want to Watch" anime by title alone. It would be nice if the disabled episode count select element would show the total number of episodes for "Want to Watch" anime, and then revert the value to "Eps" when the status changes as appropriate.

This way users can make an additional determination about what I want to watch next by total episode count, which conveniently uses existing information and can be readily implemented with a javascript event handler and requires no changes to the page content or appearance.

After all, sometimes you may want to watch a short series, and sometimes you'd prefer a longer one...

UPDATE

I forgot to mention this but given that the anime status is "Want to Watch" I don't think there would be any confusion with having a non-"Eps" episode count set, especially if it remained disabled. I'd just take note of the fact that it was still yellow...

UPDATE 2

In the interim, I've come up with a bit of javascript to do this for the current page only. As such, the above proposal is still preferrable, but this will work in the interim. However, given that it would have to be repeated for each subsequent page I find it works best by showing all and doing it once.

var s = document.getElementsByTagName('select');
for (var i=0;i<s.length;i++) if (s[i].className == 'episodes')
s[i].value=s[i].options[s[i].options.length-1].value;

I'd recommend Firebug for this, but you can type it directly into the address bar as a single line (not three as shown above) as:

javascript:void(above code to go here on a single line);

HTH

UPDATE 3

The working one-liner javascript:

javascript:void(eval('s=document.getElementsByTagName("select"); for (var i=0;i<s.length;i++) if (s[i].className == "episodes") s[i].value = s[i].options[s[i].options.length-1].value'));

After the page finishes loading, just replace whatever's in the address bar with the above and hit enter. The page will not refresh, but the select boxes will show the episode count (instead of the ambiguous phrase "Eps"). Note that this will not (currently) have any effect whatsoever on your personal episode settings.
