Flash Ad Blocking

[alanjstr]

Check out my userContent.css at http://www.geocities.com/alanjstarr/mozilla/ where I have examples of blocking by keyword and/or size. You can be as specific or as vague as you would like.

Is there any way to make the browser display a substituted message where the ad would have been? I'm not very familiar with the mozilla css's, but I'm guessing they would go in line: "display: none;"

Thanks.

Via straight CSS? Not that I know of. The display: none makes it as though the placeholder isn't even there. visibility: hidden leaves a box that is ad-shaped. My biggest peeve with Mozilla image blocking is that I wind up with an area that is still a link, but not an ad. And I wind up accidentally clicking on it.

You'll need to remove display:none from the blocking rule, since that completely kills the box the image generates in the document flow. Keep only visibility:hidden, and add:

Code: Select all

width: 0; height: 0;

Also, add the following new rule:

Code: Select all

img[some pattern]:before {
  content: "Blocked Image"; 
  visibility: visible;
}
