Remove TypeRacer Input limit

README.md

This script removes the input length limit which can trip up Plover users.

Simply install the script into TamperMonkey (Chrome) or GreaseMonkey (Firefox) and get racing.

The script was created by community member nimble

    var inputBox = document.getElementsByClassName("txtInput");
 
    var maxLengthObserver = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
        mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
            mutation.target.removeAttribute("maxlength");
        });
    });
 
    new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
        for(var node of inputBox)
            maxLengthObserver.observe(node, { attributes: true, attributeList: ["maxlength"] });
    }).observe(document.body, {
        childList: true,
        subTree: true,
    });
})();

subTree should be subtree. JavaScript is case-sensitive. (however the current script still works because it isn't necessary to listen for subtree changes)
