Block This !!

[Hubird]

I went to this site http://blog.tmcnet.com/blog/tom-keating ... update.asp and wanted to know how to block the in line text ads from Amazon with out blocking the Amazon site itself. I have the easylist and easyelement filters installed but they don't block these ads. thanks for any help on this.

I also have Easylist and Easyelement, they work perfectly for me on that site.

Go to that site again, press ctrl+shift+b and check that list of any green lines.

If there are green lines, it means you have whitelisted those ads.

Whitelisting ads = BAD idea

Confirmed I'm not seeing the ads either.

Also verified that there are no amazon ads with the EasyList. Either ABP Fan is correct in his assumption that you have whitelisted @@amazon.com ... or the filter:

Code: Select all

http://rcm.amazon.

... has been disabled in your list.

Are you using other filters besides my two?

Okay sorry, I think we all misunderstood this sentence.

I checked the site some more and found this:

A popup ad when you mouse over, sorta (I don't know what they are called ).Perhaps you referred to this?

In that case I think this code can help for what you want:

Code: Select all

tmcnet.com#DIV(id=overDiv)

Actually, it would be much better to block the script producing those popups - thereby
preventig their content being loaded - instead of just hiding them when they are loaded:

Code: Select all

Be careful to use this filter with a full domain part and not just overlib.js, as that is a
very popular script to produce hover effects.

Thanks for your replies.

That's such a great idea, thanks. I'll try to remember that trick.

Damn intellitext clone! Odd because the rest of TMC uses 'intellitext'.

Fixed in EasyList ....
