annoying affiliates

[smk]

Is there a way to block a portion providing text links by blocking comments? drives me crazy sometimes. for example all the stuff in between
<!-- affiliate -->
blah blah blah
<!-- /affiliate -->

by blocking comments?

no, but post a link and point out what you need blocked and maybe we can help.

thanks for the quick reply
there's many sites that use something like

Code: Select all

<!-- affiliate -->

 <SCRIPT language="javascript">
function blurAnchors(){
  if(document.getElementsByTagName){
    var a = document.getElementsByTagName("a");
    for(var i = 0; i < a.length; i++){
      a[i].onfocus = function(){this.blur()};
    }
  }
}
window.onload = blurAnchors;
</script>
<table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" class="boxBorder2"><tr> 
<td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> 
<tr><td><img src="templates/Selven/images/aff-side.jpg" width="231" height="36"></td> 
</tr><tr><td><table width="100%"  border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="sidebox-sub">

</td></tr>

 <!-- /affiliate -->

and the things in between sometimes have no particular pattern

The affiliate thing?
Try this code

Code: Select all

selven.org#TABLE(class=boxBorder2)(width=100%)(cellspacing=0)(cellpadding=1)(border=0)

If you already didn't know, EHH can find these rules pretty easily.

If you decide you want to try it, I can highly recommend studying these help options: http://adblockplus.org/images/66.gif

W and N are very useful to make the red frame target precisely.

V is useful if you want a quick glance at usable attributes.

yep, looked a bit when blocking msn search sponsors
So, does adblock+ block elements by blocking source?
Maybe it's then possible to block html source directly with some improvements in code

does adblock+ block elements by blocking source?

It doesn't actually block anyhing, EHH only hides with CSS. So these kind of rules still download your content.
Ask Wladimir if you have any good suggestions.

Hmmm, appears that only mods can post new topics in future development

Future development:
Discussion of possible Adblock Plus features and changes. Suggestions still go into the general forum and will be moved if necessary
