In the context of a javascript userscript, I want to open an invisible iframe to an account page, grab a user id, save it to local storage and pass it to the next function in the chain. Can you show me how?

Of course! Here is a JavaScript snippet that will do what you require. 

async function getUserID() {

   // wait for the iframe to load from accountFrame()
    const accountIframe = await accountFrame();
   
   // get the User ID from the text of CSS class .user-id
    let userID = accountIframe.contentDocument.querySelector(".user-id");
    userID = userID.innerText;

  // save the User ID to local storage and pass it to the next function
    localStorage.setItem("userID", userID);
    nextFunction(userID);
    return userID;
}

function accountFrame() {

   // create an invisible iframe of the account page, append it to document.body and return to calling function
    let accountIframe = document.createElement("iframe");
    accountIframe.src = "https://example.com/account/General";
    accountIframe.style.display = "none";
    accountIframe.id = "accountFrame";
    document.body.appendChild(accountIframe);
    return accountIframe;
}

This is a basic framework for collecting a User ID from an iframe. Note that you may need to adjust certain variables, such as the CSS class that contains the User ID and the URL of the account page.  Another thing to consider is error handling. In its current state, this code will fail silently and possibly affect the functionality of the program.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
