Mouseovers

[J03]

On certain forums, the webmasters have javascript mouseovers when you hover over a topic. Two in question is broadbandreports.com:

http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/security

When you hover over a thread, a mouseover appears giving a popup box showing some of the contents of the thread.

and at another forum, cdfreaks.com, they are doing the same thing:

How do I prevent these mouseovers/popups from appearing?

Thanks!

It's not javascript.

They're just using the title= attribute to create it.

There is nothing bad about it, so it's not blockable at this time.

[J03]

Thanks for the response back Jeff.

It's too bad that AdMuncher cannot filter this.

Do you know of any other way to stop these mouseovers?

[Jeff]

They're called tooltips.
And no I'm afraid not.

Someone on the broadbandreports.com forum created a javascript that disables the mouseovers.

Code: Select all

javascript:removeTooltip('td'); function removeTooltip(x){var y=document.getElementsByTagName(x); for(i=0; i<=y.length-1; i++){ y[i].title=''; if(x=='img') y[i].alt=''; } }

In order to use this, it must be saved as a bookmark and clicked everytime I want to disable the mouseovers. Can it be implemented within AdMuncher?

It also works with cdfreaks.com

Theses Tooltips only appear with Microsoft Internet Explorer. I tested the sites with Opera and no tooltips appeared.

javascript

You should be able to use a simple "replace text" entry to get rid of the behavior

Code: Select all

broadbandreports:
Match: <a title="*.." href="/forum/remark**"
Replace: <A HREF="/forum/remark**"

cdfreaks
Match: <td class="alt1active" id="*>
Replace: <td class="alt1Active">

Resurrecting this really old thread.

I find a lot of forums using "topic previews" (aka mouseovers).

Can this javascript be implemented (or something similar) to prevent mouseovers/tooltips / topic previews? Currently it can be used as a bookmark using IE9 (FX has it built-in to remove tooltips). I've tried to implemented it as a filter (add javascript to all pages), but AdMuncher gave me an error when I tried to log in here.

Anyway to stop the mouseover/tooltips / topic previews.?

filter one.
function removeTooltip(x){var y=document.getElementsByTagName(x);for(i=0;i<=y.length-1;i++){y[i].title='';if(x=='img')y[i].alt='';}};

filter two.
__amscript_trapevent("DOMContentLoaded","removeTooltip('td')");

this will apply to all sites.

if you want it to be site specific then wrap the second filter in a per site check like so:

if(__amscript_cd('.website.')){__amscript_trapevent("DOMContentLoaded","removeTooltip('td')");};

you can make as many of these filters as you need.

you can change the tag to 'img' as well instead of 'td'.

BBeeaauuttiiffuull!!

My sanity is saved (what little I have)!

I will not miss "topic previews".

Thank you, Jeff!

Perhaps this might be included in Ad Muncher under Options / Filtering?

[Jeff]

we've designed the new interface for 5.x to allow us to add an infinite number of options like this that the user can enable or disable.

so yes, eventually 1000's of similar filters will be included but disabled by default.

How do I add these filters to admuncher.??
what filter category do I select?

[Jeff]

"add javascript to all pages"
