| | 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 :)
