About this extension
Adds a BIG BLUE BUTTON to the top right of shopping cart pages for sites it supports. Generates a CSV file from shopping carts on Amazon, Digikey, Mouser, Thorlabs and McMaster (and Sunstone PCB orders, too!), and then copies the correctly-formatted BOM to your clipboard so you can paste it into Costpoint. Easy peasy.

Once you hit the button, IHateCostpoint replaces the cart with a data entry screen. Fill in the form fields on the first page and IHateCostpoint will create the Costpoint Purchase Requisition (PR) header and copy it to your clipboard for easy paste. The second screen will create the PR data rows and copy them to your clipboard for easy paste.

Not experimental anymore, but STILL VERY UGLY. Works right though.

Release notes for 1.31
Amazon changed the cart from [div]s to [ul]s and broke the parser. I stupidly changed the code to pick [ul]s instead and added an alert telling the user that "it won't work" if it doesn't find anything.

If this works, I'll just leave it, otherwise I will need to work on robustification.
