problem blocking setTimeout javascript banners

Post by phobie »

Hi adblockers,

I visited http://www.codeman2001.be/codeman/ and mentioned that the whole page is jumping up and down.

This is because I have "*/banners/*" in my blocklist and the javascript-function showbanner() loads a gif-banner every 10 seconds which will than be removed by the above filter.

It can only be stopped if I deselect (in german) "Optionen --> Platz von blockierten Elementen freigeben"

I use firefox 1.5.0.7 on debian/sid (1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.7-1) and Adblock Plus 0.7.1.2.

It would be nice if adblock prevents the displaying completely.
Also it would be nice if I could block java-script-functions by name and by content.

Best regards

Well, when this site reserves space for a new banner we don't know yet that we are going to block it. You can hide it permanently with an element hiding rule however:

Code: Select all
