Is there any way to block those 'onload' css/div popups?

It is becoming increasingly apparent that website authors don't understand (or don't care) why popup blockers were invented in the first place; it's because people don't like crap popping up in their face. As such, they're getting around traditional popup blockers by using css/div windows. (Sorry, I'm not a web programmer, so don't know exactly what they're called.) And I'm talking about the 'join our community' or 'fill out our survey' kind of BS. Apparently, just showing a little window on the lower right side isn't good enough for a lot of sites. Anyway ...
I've been using the adblock plus element hider to block these on a site-by-site basis, but not only is this a pain, but it also doesn't work when the window is modal (as in, when the background goes dark and waits for you to close the window). Thus, I was hoping maybe there was an extension or something out there that would do it automagically.
If not, I really think Firefox and other browsers should expand their popup blockers to include these. In fact, better to disable any features that allows windows or anything else to be shoved in the users' face when a page loads, as it is obvious at this point that people who build websites (even the legitimate ones) cannot keep from abusing this functionality.

It does work, provided you block the correct element. If you continue having trouble after subscribing to Fanboy's Annoyances, post the link to the site and the part of it you want blocked on either Fanboy's forum or the Filters for Adblock Plus forum.

  • Is there any way to block accessing Exchange server

    Hello,
    We are using iPhone as a business phone to
    access Exchange server using ActiveSync.
    Is there any way to block non-company, in
    other words private iPhone, iPhone to access
    Exchange Server?
    Some users have 2 iPhones (1 provided by our
    company, 1 purchased by himself/herself as
    a his/her private phone).
    We would like to block those non-company iPhone.
    If there is a way(s), please let me know!!
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Tak

    Block/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" is NOT ticked in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
    Wipe/Delete will appear if "Enforce Password on Device" IS TICKED in ESM at the time when that particular iPhone (or other smartphone) was first joined to EAS.
    The only difference is, if you first have "Enforce..." ticked and you join phones A,B,C, - they will always have WIPE next to that phone even if X months down the line, you untick "Enfore...".
    If at that point (after unticking "Enforce..") you join phones D,E,F, they will have BLOCK next to their phone and always will have until you tick the "Enforce..." again and the user will be prompted to input a code when they next sync.
    Again I repeat, the 'Lock code' when inputted into the phone acts as an agreement between the user & exchange that exchange has permission to wipe the phone remotely. Without that agreement ("Enforce..."), you should not have the WIPE function on those particular phones.
    Hope that makes sense.

  • Is there any way to block the shutdown of the device is protected by password? This function would help in case of theft with the issue of the find my iphone app.

    is there any way to block the shutdown of the device is protected by password? This function would help in case of theft with the issue of the find my iphone app.

    Device experiences issues, locks up.
    I need to do a reset.
    How would I do that with a pass code lock in place?
    Wait until the battery dies?
    Apple's changes in iOS 7 are smarter.
    "Losing your iOS device feels lousy. Thankfully, Find My iPhone can help you get it back. But if it looks like that’s not going to happen, new security features in iOS 7 make it harder for anyone who’s not you to use or sell your device. Now turning off Find My iPhone or erasing your device requires your Apple ID and password. Find My iPhone can also continue to display a custom message, even after your device is erased. And your Apple ID and password are required before anyone can reactivate it. Which means your device is still your device. No matter where it is."

  • I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    I imported photos from an old iPhoto (2001) to photo library and can now see them only as thumbnails but not when I click on them. The screen is black cannot see or print either. Is there any way to salvage those old photos? I now use iLife09. OS 10.6

    Did you import the old iPhoto library into the new one? That's not what you want to do because you will import all of the original, modified and thumbnail files as if they were original files. Lots of duplicates and useless small photos.
    Do you have a backup copy of the library that you imported into to?  If you do then bring it in and then use  iPhoto Library Manager to merge the two libraries into a new, 3rd library.
    If you don't then you'll have to try to fix the current one and then cull out the duplicates and small useless photos as follows:  make a temporary, duplicate copy of your library and apply the three fixes in order as necessary.
    Fix #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your HD/User/Home()/ Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your HD/User/Home()/Library /Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
    If this doesn't fix the problem you'll have to start over from scratch and create a new library from the files inside the Originals folder of your current library.  But first you should cull out the small photos that would be the thumbnails from the 2001 library.
    Move the Originals folder to the Desktop, open and do a search for Kind=photo, File size is less than 10 KB.  That should find all of the thumbnail files which you can then drag to the Trash.  You might have to make that less than 50 KB. Then Import the remaining photos into a new iPhoto library.

  • Is there any way to block PR changes when PO exists in project builder

    Dear All,
    Could you please advice...is there any way to block PR changes (quantity,price, etc) when PO exists in project builder ?
    Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Nies,
    If you are not using the material then you can go for Validation, under Operative Structure> Network> Validation.
    Attach the validation with OPSA click on Automatic.
    In the second scenario if you are using Material Component, as Mr.Muralidharan said OPSG there you can restrict the change by selecting Error Message.
    1. Tcode OPSG in Setting see all the object are selected.
    2. Click on Component tab under change in Purchase Order Exist tab select Error.
    Regards'

    Hi,
    You can in the Yahoo for Mac app (This has been in Beta for literally years)
    It seems that the iChat and Messages Beta Yahoo part is a sort of Bolt-On (it is actually a Plug-in) that does Text Chatting only and not much else (it can go Invisible)
    It seems it lacks some other functions that the Yahoo for Mac App has such as blocking people.

  • Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad ?

    Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad?

    there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
    Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

  • Is there any way to block a few websites even for an administrator user?

    Hi, I would like to block a few specific websites on my imac, and someone told me to go to system preferences, accounts, and parental controls. But it says you can't block websites for an account user (which is what I am). There is an option to block all websites, except what is on the bookmarks bar, but I don't want to do that and not be able to web search. I just want to block a few specific websites. Is there any way to do this? Thanks!

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    You can do this using OS X's built in Firewall but you'll want to use Flying Buttress (link) to give you a nice front-end to make the changes with.
    First find the IP addresses of the sites you wish to block.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Network Utility > Tracetroute tab.
    Enter the address i.e. www.apple.com and traceroute will give you the IP i.e. 17.149.160.10.
    Load up Flying Buttress and add a new filter (for example on my Powerbook I always connect via Airport so I choose the Airport tab and click 'Add New Filter').
    Action:"Deny" the Service:"World Wide Web" from Source:"My Computer" to Other...:"Host IP: 17.149.160.10".
    Add a new filter for each page you wish to block.
    Remember to go through and check all the settings on all the tabs are set to "Deny" unless you are using them to maintain the integrity of your Firewall.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is there any way to block a number?

    I am getting frequent calls from  tele-marketers, including text message and would like to block these calls.  Isa there any way to do this?  I have an Android 2 Global.  Thanks for your help.

        SkyHawk44, I know how irritating telemarketing calls can be. I recommend that you add your mobile number to the Do Not Call List by clicking https://www.donotcall.gov/
    Additionally, you may also block 10 digit phone numbers to the Call & Messaging Block list online at My Verizon, as well. This feature allows you to block up to five numbers from calling and text messaging your device. For more information, click http://bit.ly/MqEgqB ^LH
