Support Requests item #991024, was opened at 2004-07-14 10:11 Message generated for change (Tracker Item Submitted) made by Item Submitter You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=211118&aid=991024&group_id=11118 Category: blocking Group: 3.1.x Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: collapsing blocked frames Initial Comment: I'm wondering if the block as URL feature could be modified so that the blocked banner would collapse to the size of the contained text. I've used Proxomitron on my Win boxes but I'm using Privoxy for my Mac. Proxomitron's behavior is to replace an ad with just a bit of text, usually containing the alt text of the ad, as a link for the ad. This makes the blocked ad unobtrusive but gives me a bit of an idea of what was blocked, as well as the ability to follow the link if I want. This is similar to Privoxy's block as URL feature, but Proxomitron gets rid of the height and width attributes, so the ad link takes up no more room than necessary. A perfect example of this is Slashdot.org. When slashdot puts an ad in the right content box, it pushes everything else way down the page. Privoxy blocks the ad but leaves it the same size so everything is still pushed way down (kinda frustrating). I know I could use the block as image but then I can't really tell what was blocked. Is there any way to configure what HTML code replaces an ad when block as URL is used? I would pretty much use this wherever the block action is used, because it's unobtrusive but still provides a link. Best of both worlds in my opinion. Anyone familiar with the Proxomitron can take a look at the banner replacer filters to see what I'm talking about. I tried to write a filter myself, but my regex skills aren't that great, and the proxomitron's matching language isn't quite regex- compatible so I couldn't copy it. Any ideas? Can this be made into a feature request? Any arguments as to why it shouldn't be this way? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=211118&aid=991024&group_id=11118 |
