Handango.com

I can block the ads for Handango.com, but when the banners rotate or refresh, everything below it bounces down and up. The generic picture icon shows briefly and then disappears. How do I block it from showing at all?

Thanks for the help.

Did you block this?

Code: Select all

.handango.com/marketing/

I hadn't, but I added it and it didn't help.

Until someone comes up with something better (which I'm sure they will)

Block the 2 images that make up the banner with

Code: Select all

.handango.com*HomeBanner.jpg

Then you can use two element hiding rules to stop it bouncing:

Code: Select all

handango.com#IMG(src=http://www.handango.com/marketing/2008/promotions/355/355_HomeBanner.jpg)

I was testing this when I got into a big discussion over on DSL Reports about something else. I'll get back to it soon.

What I DID learn is that there is an image that flicks on and off quickly about every 5 seconds. This is causing a quick page shift ... it comes and goes in the blink of an eye. The weird thing is that it is just a small placeholder with the broken image (empty) icon in it ... like it is a false or missing picture.

I have never seen anything quite like it and I'm trying to pin down what and why?

javascript trying to rotate the banners every 4th second.
