Popup-killing SuperScript
This could be what we've all been waiting for. Instead of provider-specific
solutions, a single popup-killer script that works on every free webpage
provider without modifications! The premise of what has been dubbed the
SuperScript is that JavaScript functions can be redefined, particularly
the window.open function.
Key:
Black is your normal HTML
Red is the server-included popup code
Blue is the workaround or pop-up removal
Green is something in the script you have
to change/delete/modify |
Basic SuperScript
<html>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function open() {return true;}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<head>
... |
This is the simple version of the SuperScript, for those who do not open
their own windows. (If you use window.open() for your own purposes,
scroll down a bit for the enhanced SuperScript.) This script can be put
anywhere before the FWP's popup code. For HTML purity reasons it's
best to leave it within the <HTML></HTML> tags, but on some FWPs
where the popup code is inserted directly after <HTML> (ahem, Tripod)
you will have to move it to the very beginning of the file, before <HTML>.
The basic SuperScript was gotten from Pop
Up Ads Must Die, which got it from JohnC.
(Why didn't we think of this one before?)
Advanced SuperScript
<html>
<SCRIPT>
<!--
function ScreenIt(url,name,parm){
if(url.indexOf("popup.html")!=-1)
return false;
return window.Xopen(url,name,parm);
}
window.Xopen=window.open;
window.open=ScreenIt;
//-->
</SCRIPT>
<head>
... |
This is intended for those who use JavaScript window.open() in
their own scripts, and only want it to be disabled specifically for the
FWP. Like the previous script, this must be put before the FWP's
popup code in order to work properly. This script looks to see whether
the popup is from the site author (good) or from the FWP (bad)...if it's
an FWP popup it is screened out. Change popup.html
to any partial word/phrase/etc. that appears in the FWP popup's URL (they
often have the word "pop" in the URL...use that...and just as often, there
is a "?" in their popup URL somewhere...since normal webpage URLs never
contain a "?", that's a very good way for the script to tell the popup
came from the FWP!)...any popup whose URL contains that phrase will be
screened out, and ones with URLs not containing it will be allowed through.
This script can also be easily modified to allow popups with specific
things in their URLs (such as "mygoodpopup.html") and block all others--useful
for FWPs who like to change their popup's URL every two days :)
