Rotten Tomatoes new site with IE and Opera 25 vs. Firefox

Post by highstream »

Rotten Tomatoes - http://www.rottentomatoes.com/ - has just changed their site design. Now, the top of the home page, where the banner is being blocked, shows differently with different browsers. With Firefox 32, the top margin is small, ABP apparently adjusting the rest to move over the blocked banner. With IE 11 and Opera 25, the banner space is blank, meaning the page starts much further down. See the screenshots. Is that something that can be fixed?

The banner-collapsing behavior works the same way in Chrome as it does in IE and Opera: Even though the banner itself has the style display:none!important, the two containing elements retain their full height.

Maybe it's a problem with how Chromium allows elements to be collapsed (Opera and Chrome are based on Chromium, and ABP for IE embeds a copy of Chromium's V8 Javascript engine).

I was able to fix it in both versions of Opera by deleting the ad, but I'm not sure how to do it with IE and af0.Adblock.BHO.

I don't know what you mean by "deleting the ad" but putting in a custom filter like rottentomatoes.com##.leaderboard_wrapper should collapse all of the blank space.

All I meant was that a filter in effect deletes the ad from viewing. At the request of Ad Block staff, I posted the filter I used on another thread - Ad Block for Opera? - that was dealing with the problem I encountered.
