Yahoo seems to have added a new ad-type that slips by Privoxy. Would we block based on the <div id=?

Here is the ad in its entirety. Happy Holidays

    It appears periodically on the my.yahoo.com and other yahoo
    pages. It's a travel-related ad.

    s@(<div id=ymadbn).*>@$1 style="display:none">@Uig
    Works for me, but I never saw "your" ad in the wild.

    For Yahoo's search I use:
    s@<div (class=yschspn|id=symadbn)@$0 style="display:none"@Uig

    Of course both require a browser with CSS support,
    but you already got one ;-)
