Video news sites that play ads seem to take browser control

video news sites have an ad play first sometimes I want to exit but the ad seems to take control of the browser and I have to wait until ad ends, even the "X" will not kill the page, when I duplicate steps in safe mode it cancels immediately, how can I kill a page that seems to take control in normal mode

Do you want to stop running the script, or let it continue? If I  click on continue it just continues, stop, it stops.  How to correct this annoying message?

    Disable Javascript for those webpages.  Note, your Javascript is probably antiquated by now.  Try a different web browser, or contact the website and let them know they aren't as accessible as they could be*:

  • Youtube works but other sites that play videos dont?

    I can watch videos on youtube but when I go on other sites that have videos, the videos dont play? I have java, flashplayer, and shockwave up to date as well

    OK, I used Firefox to play the videos - let me try Safari: yep. works in Safari as well. Oddly enough, in Chrome I get the following dialog box:
    That's nothing, that I know of, that I have installed in Firefox or Safari. I suspect that it's because Chrome uses proprietary Flash emulation.
    If I were you, I would go the the site and click on the video whilst holding down the control key - you should get a JW video plug in installation item at the top. Try installing that and see if you can play the videos,

  • Site that automatically resizes images based on browser size

    Hi. I need to make a site that automatically adjusts the size of the images based on the browser size, but keeps the image quality. Does anyone know how to do this without using flash?
    I basically want the site to perform like [http://www.shotview.com/|http://www.shotview.com/] . Thanks for your help.

    first time accessing website get screen size info using javascript and then redirect to next page and store screen size info into session. then, when requesting pictures from browser use custom servlet, mapped to image extension, that renders images to different resolution.

  • Link to a new site that opens within my site

    Can someone tell me how I can create a link to an external site, where the site opens up within the body of my site? Do I need a javascript for this?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi David,
    The iframe option is fabulous. I've used it for my ebay link as well as a "news" section.
    I do still have one issue with the "news" section – I seem to have my background image from the body showing through in the padding of the div that holds the iframe. I've tried everything, but can't seem to get rid of it! I didn't have this problem with the ebay link and didn't have this problem before I added the iframe. Any suggestions?
    Thanks again!

  • MacbookPro...tabs reset or don't respond when I use videos or sites that use Java or Flash...

    I have a MacbookPro and it's been acting up lately and I'm not too sure why.
    I run Mac OS X Version 10.6.8
    The procefssor is 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory is 2BG 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    ^^keep in mind I have no idea what any of that really means or how it really makes the computer work. I get the very basics and I mean very basics!
    Over the last few months I've noticed something and it is getting more and more frequent. I will have a few tabs open and if I click a link that has video, a lot of flash or a lot of java is used it will staul the tabs and then say it can't be found and then ALL my tabs reset.
    Example. I go to youtube and when I try and watch a video the page starts to freeze and that spinny color wheel starts. Most of the time I have to CLOSE the tab to get the page to stop loading. In many cases I have to close all tabs and reset Safari. I try not to view videos because of this. There is a site I view that has a chat room that uses java. Anytime I access that chat room all my tabs reset and or staul out and freeze. It does as well on Facebook but not as often since i use the mobile app the most.
    I have no idea what is causing this. I don't download movies or anything from the internet and I go to the same sites on a daily basis. I don't download programs or software.
    Should I upgrade my OS? What could this be and how can i fix it?
    I have a new iMac desktop that I will be using when I move. Right now I use the laptop cause it's more convenient. I'd like to restore it to new and erase everythign on it since i"ve transferred all my files to the desktop but I'd like this little problem fixed first.
    Thanks.

  • I have three .wmv files on my web site that play automatically on firefox at the same time.

    All three wmv files auto start one right after the other when you visit the page in Firefox (I'm using 5.0). There are no start/pause buttons beneath the video screen. When using internet explorer everything works as intended in that you have to push the play button. I updated my plugins for firefox and that did not remedy the problem. Can someone please help me out with this?

    I performed additional updates of flash player and it resolved this issue.

  • Embed(?) video in page that plays on Blackberry

    I have a need to take the embed [or not] code from YouTube, place it on a web page I am setting up in Dreamweaver CS4, and then it will play back the video.  The page and video needs to play in Blackberry's browser.  I tried doing a simple <embed> from YT into the page, but it will not play the video in Blackberry.
    Any idea what I need to do?

  • I have an audio file that plays automatically and I can't control it other than reduce the volume.  How do I turn it off?

    I have picked up an audio file that I can't control other than reduce the volume.  I don't know how to turn it off and it plays over any other audio.

    Is this an Apple installed audio clip?
    Have you checked to see if all of your browsers doesn't have a web page that is opened that has the audio? (Best thing is to quit all of your browsers to get that out of the way.) If it goes away, then find out which browser (if multiple), and then figure out what page or just close it if you wish.
    Once you get the browsers out of the way and the audio is still playing. Then quit other programs.

    Yes, but you can restore it: http://www.mactipsnow.com/2012/03/restore-front-row-on-mac-os-x-lion.html
    Or install XBMC, which does work with your remote.

  • Why does browser keep refreshing every few seconds. I keep getting kicked of of sites that require log in because my browser refreshes and sends me back to log in page.

    I use the same plug-ins i always have, with the exception of faster fox. I got the plug in off of c-net. The first thing I did was disable that plug in. I do remember at one point i used to have a plug in that allowed you to set the refresh intervals. I don't remember which is was though as I got rid of it a long time ago. I have checked every option I can think of to no avail..please help.

    If you have an infected system, Firefox will get infected no matter how many times you reset it. Refer to a specialized forum to clear the malware from your system.
    * https://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?showtopic=9573
    If you haven't disabled the malware and phishing protection features, and you have a good and up-to-date anti-virus, then visiting web sites shouldn't be an issue. Installing questionable software on the other hand allows malware to do anything on your system.

  • Updating Templates w/o creating new site.

    Hello everyone, My names Mike and it seems I am the latest
    n00b to this forum board but have come here many times to search
    for information.
    I have something to ask you guys that I haven't found any
    useful information for as of yet. I am currently using DW MX2004
    v7.0. I have to update about... 300+ sites copyright dates from
    200x to 2006. (it's a slow week here haha) Here is my question, I
    tried updating the templates for these sites by just opening there
    template page by browsing through windows then opening the .dwt
    file(s) for the site and/or the .ascx files for aspx sites...
    (which do update). The .dwt files do NOT update due to not
    opening/creating a new site directory in dreamweaver. I have looked
    around for several different ways to possibly get around this but
    have not found a way to do it.
    If someone has a way to update these templates without
    creating a new site for every page it would save me a great deal of
    time...
    Thanks in advance!
    Mike

    We are using javascript for any new sites that are coming in
    to avoid this in the future. most of the sites I am updating now
    are several years old. All high priority sites such as the maryland
    zoo.org and so forth have been changed over.
    We are starting to get a lot of redesigns coming in too from
    some of these 3 to 4 year old sites.
    This field is crazy. I have been doing this job for over 1/2
    year now and have gotten fulltime status. No matter how much I
    learn I just see how much more I don't know about things... great
    industry to be in though I love it.
    Thanks for your help. I will have to spend some time at home
    and go through some of the post on here to get better aquainted
    with everything.
    Later!
    Mike
