Script Summary:
If you like JavaScript and are not worried about its use you won't need this script.
An alternative to this script
I started to use the `capability.policy.' preference branch to restrict the use of JavaScript. It allows to tell the browser on which websites it is allowed to enable JavaScript. It's a way of whitelisting good sites. You can also blacklist bad sites instead if that is what you want.
To whitelist sites do as follows:
- close your browser
- locate your user.js file
- add these lines to the file:
user_pref("capability.policy.default.javascript.enabled", "noAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.jsok.javascript.enabled", "allAccess"); user_pref("capability.policy.jsok.sites", "http://www.good-site.org http://www.another-good-site.org"); user_pref("capability.policy.policynames", "jsok");
After restarting the browser, JavaScript should only work on the sites specified. By the way, you can also use the NoScript addon, which does a lot more then just that.
Main Features
SWFObject
SWFObject is a small Javascript file used for embedding Adobe Flash content.Fixweb attempts to show embedded content on untrusted sites where JavaScript is disabled. SWFObject is a small framework for doing so if JavaScript is enabled. It's one of many(?) non-standards but widely used.
Flash Player Detection Kit
The Flash® Player Detection Kit helps developers implement robust player detection for a variety of deployment environments by providing a set of templates and techniques to successfully detect the version of Flash Player installed on a user’s computer...After I had so much fun with the SWFObject I played around with the Flash Player Detection Kit.
Unobtrusive Flash Objects (UFO)
UFO is a DOM script that detects the Flash plug-in and embeds Flash objects (files with the .swf extension).UFO does the same thing as the others but different. The focus is also another.
