Doubleclick ads - invisible but clickable

[Lockser]

Ads from Doubleclick are invisible on the webpage but are still clickable.

Here is an example of a website that does it.

Picture of what I am talking about


I found this in the source, could this be why?

Code: Select all

<td bgcolor="#C7D9E6"><script language="JavaScript1.1" src="http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/adj/tdl.whitepages.co.nz/search;pos=top;sz=468x60;ord=670125252?" type="text/javascript"></script><script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
          if ((!document.images && navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Mozilla/2.') >= 0)|| navigator.userAgent.indexOf("WebTV") >= 0)
             {document.write('<a href="http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/jump/tdl.whitepages.co.nz/search;pos=top;sz=468x60;ord=670125252?" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/ad/tdl.whitepages.co.nz/search;pos=top;sz=468x60;ord=670125252?" width="468" height="60" border="0" alt="White Pages Page Banner"><\/a>');}
       </script><noscript><a href="http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/jump/tdl.whitepages.co.nz/search;pos=top;sz=468x60;ord=670125252?" target="_blank"><img src="http://ad.au.doubleclick.net/ad/tdl.whitepages.co.nz/search;pos=top;sz=468x60;ord=670125252?" width="468" height="60" border="0" alt="White Pages Page Banner"></a></noscript></td>

However, I am using Noscript and the website not allowed.

Can anyone help?

Update: Allowing the website in Noscript blocks the ads.

Does this mean ads inside <noscript> tags still load with AdBlock?

No. It means that:

Code: Select all

ad.au.doubleclick.net

isn't blocked in your filtering ... only:

Code: Select all

ad.doubleclick.net 

..is.

Both domains appear on that page and the webbug has the "au" one in it. The NoScript program actually releases the 'noscript' tag. Set the option in the NoScript program to block 'noscript' tags.

The EasyList blocks both domains so the 'noscript' tag web bug is still blocked with js disabled (or NoScript on).
