Ok I found a problem: this script causes quite some problems with Google Reader.

Okay, I think the bugs you have mentioned seem to be fixed now. I must say that I'm still having problems to integrate greasmonkey functions into highly complex sites such as google mail which is built up of several (i)frames which load asynchronously. I will try to fix this at some time, but unfortunately I won't be able to do this soon :(

Alex, thank you very much for your bug report. I'll try to fix this ASAP! Stay in touch...

Yeah using Firefox 3 on linux. I'm using the latest version of the script but still nothing.

On the console in firebug there seems to be an error showing up regarding this script.

unsafeWindow.HTMLElement.prototype is undefined

One final thing while running this script I am unable to use google reader, the page loads but the screen is blank.

It's just because of the two other scripts needed for this to work: the tooltip script and the titletooltip script. I can include these scripts here, but that would also lead to the big disadvantage that the script needs to be updated more often!

Btw. are you using Firefox 3.0? I made an update and maybe the compatibility issues just returned!

This doesn't seem to be working for me.

I have the script installed :) and have allowed usability-online.com in noscript but I don't get the fancy tooltips.

BTW why does the script need to connect to usability-online.com anyway?

Well, the XML DOM functions should work now, but I can not test it at the moment. Please try out the new version and tell me if the script actually works in IE!

Yes indeed, there is a possibility for getting this working in IE. Just a minute, I will see what I can do for you! (and the other "poor" IE users ;)

function getElements(scope,nodeName,attType,attName,xPathExpr1,strToFind,xPathExprSuffix) is a great function to get all nodes.

However, this does not work in IE7 as there is no support for XPATH other than the selectNodes() and selectSingleNode() functions.

Could you please tweak this script so that it works in IE7 and FF too?

Thanks in advance.

Sunit

very good site

Wunderbar. Danke sehr :)

Okay, hab den Bug selbst gefixed. Das Problem liegt darin, dass der neue Firefox im Gegensatz zum 2er beim Aufruf der Methode "getElementsByTagName" den Namespace des XML elements verlangt. Woher soll man denn das wissen?

Ich vermute das Problem bei der neuen Implementation des DOMParsers im Firefox 3... http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOMParser

Habe das error handling an der entsprechenden stelle mal angepasst. Kannst du es jetzt nochmal testen? Vielleicht auch einfach per eMail antworten, steht oben im code header;)

Hab's im neuen Firefox noch nicht getestet, mache ich aber sobald er released ist. Vielleicht auch ein Problem im Zusammenhang mit Greasemonkey's XMLHTTPRequest methode.

Im Firefox 2 funzt es auf jeden Fall bestens, oder?

Firefox 3.0b5 und Greasemonkey trunk:

"uncaught exception: XML file to be located at http://data.usability-online.com/adblock/vzadbl... could not be loaded!"

so kann ich das file aber laden.

ein sehr erleichterndes Script! Danke, vor allem seit der Update-Alert geändert wurde!

Thanks! I think the XML method is not the worst, since I also implemented a caching functionality. As I mentioned above, I am going to implement a server-side php/mysql solution which should generate the data on demand and absolutely dynamic. Will need some time to do this, but stay in touch...

Cool! Personal I don't like the idea of fetching the xml definition file over the web. But this could be avoided with the upcoming GM 0.8.* (@resource).

If the performance stays smooth, I'll give it a shot.

If you do not have the chance to host your own XML definitions or have no clue of how to find elements on a site to be removed, please at least post the site's URL you wish to be added. I really encourage you to participate, otherwise the power of the script will never be exploited. Thank you.

Ich empfehle allen, die dieses Skript nutzen, auf das oben genannte neue Skript umzusatteln, da ich dieses nicht weiter pflegen werde!

Mit dem universellen Skript wird die Werbung selbstverständlich genauso schnell herausgefiltert wie mit diesem - und nicht nur bei StudiVZ...

You can try to achieve this with my script, but I would absolutely recommend to use Gmail and Google Apps Sidebar Remover for that purpose, because this does more than just removing the sidebar!

and using the full window width in gmail?

Hello, nice script.

how can i remove the adds of gmail (in the new version) with your script?

Für alle, die es interessiert: das Skript lässt sich nun ohne weiteres für alle möglichen Seiten modifizieren. Im Grunde muss ich dafür nur das config xml erweitern. Demnächst fange ich also mit einem allgemeinen Adblocking Skript an, das auf diesem hier aufbaut!

spitze, funktioniert einwandfrei. sehr gut ^^

danke
