The following is an archive of comments made before threaded discussions was implemented (November 16th, 2008)

I've modified the original script to completly hide the left side ads!
You have to add this to line 62 :

var TopAd = parent.document.getElementById('nwPane');
var BottomAd = parent.document.getElementById('swPane');
var folderPan = parent.document.getElementById('foldersPane');
var folderDiv = parent.document.getElementById('foldersTableDiv');
var MaxBottom = parent.document.getElementById('calBarPane');

And this to line 81:

if ( BottomAd != null ){
BottomAd.style.visibility='hidden';
}
if ( TopAd != null ){
deleteNode(TopAd);
}
if (BottomAd != null){
var MaxBottomHeight = pixtoint(MaxBottom.style.top)+pixtoint(MaxBottom.style.height);
var DifTop = pixtoint(folderDiv.style.top) - pixtoint(folderPan.style.top);
folderDiv.style.height = ((MaxBottomHeight - pixtoint(folderDiv.style.top) - DifTop - 10) + "px");
folderPan.style.height = ((MaxBottomHeight - pixtoint(folderPan.style.top)) + "px");
}


To hide the left side ads
add this to line 62

var swPane=parent.document.getElementById('swPane');
var foldersTableDiv=parent.document.getElementById('foldersTableDiv');


And this to line 76

if ( swPane != null ) {
// deleteNode(swPane);
swPane.style.visibility='hidden';
}
if (foldersTableDiv != null ) {
// resizeNode(foldersTableDiv);
foldersTableDiv.style.height='100%';
}


As suggested by the author, I have uploaded a modified version of this script...
My additions include

• removal of leftside ads
• periodically cleans up the ads (to get the ones they occasionally put back)

Now they are putting ads on the left hand side too :(

well done you work makes my interface very clean. and it 's of great help to those who is poor at the bandwidth.

Thank you! works great. The right advertisement hides when u use this script!

Btw is there a way to hide the ads which appear above and below the left navigation (Like Inbox, Drafts, Sent etc)

Any help would be gr8. Thanks again!

I get the same runtime error as that described by Joe L. I am running Windows XP.

Does this script work on an XP platform?

will this work with CANADA yahoo beta? ;)

mail.yahoo.ca

Well, it seems that Yahoo has updated mail slightly (at least for me).

Now I have an idea and a suggestion...

It is possible to collapse the side ad space, but leave the collapsed space? I'll elaborate with screenshots.

Before:

See how the side ad bar extends out every time you view different parts of the Y!Mail beta site? Well, is it possible to automatically collapse it (like you can already do with the little arrow button) and leave it collapsed? Now, look at this mock up screenshot I made...

After:

See how the ad is gone, but it leaves the collapsed space? I personally like how this looks, and it fits in well with the site, giving it a nice border (minus the arrow button of course).

So what do you guys think? Is it possible or not?

I tried to install this script but it gave me an error.

Script: c:\document ... \5257.user[1].js
Line: 51
Char: 2
Error: 'parent' is undefined
Code: 800A1391
Source: Microsoft JScript runtime error

How can I get pass this?

Works as advertised, and makes reading mail much more pleasant. The only weird thing is that each message initially loads with a gap to the right as if the vertical banner ad was still there, then resizes to fill in the space. It's kind of distracting. Otherwise, great job.

G8 job dude....

A million thanks narayan. That side bar is just too big and your script works a treat.

I paid for my screen, I paid for my bandwidth, I've even paid for the damn yahoo mail service, but not to see stupid anoying, intrusive and insulting adverts.

Keep up the excelent work !

Really what I was looking for. Yahoo mail now looks even better. One glitch however, if I resize the Firefox window - the ad pane reappears annoyingly :(

Really great job :). The narrow reading pane used to take the fun off.

Thanx a lot buddy. I actually switched back to Old yahoomail due to this AD, now am happy using Yahoomail Beta for ever.

I meant Reading pane, when the mail is previewed in next tab.

Narayan, Damn good script. But it only removes the adverts, if possible try to increasing Reading pane size also :)

could you make this script work with the calendar also to kill the ads on the right and fix the table?
