Find out which script need to be unblocked

Post by Therapy »

First of all, thanks for providing NoScript to the world.
On a few pages I like to enabled a few scripts, especially those attached to onclick events. I used Chrome and also Firebug to inspect the element in question and trace back the event listener to the script supposedly used. It links back to a minified js from jquery hosted on googlepis. After unblocking the function still did not work. Oddly enough, allowing all scripts on that site temporarily still does not make that script work. It works when I entirely disable NoScript (as in restart without add-ons enabled). I then proceeded to disable AdBlock and Ghostery, but that did not do the trick either. Something still blocks one or more scripts and I can only imagine that to be NoScript.
In case you want to evaluate yourself, this is the page in question (it is in German): http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/freizeit/nr ... -1.5137009 and there specifically a.go-forward. I came across a few other examples, but I don't think it is necessary to list them all here.
Further, when I disable NoScript and restart the function works fine which I expected. I think it would be an awesome feature to have a "Make this (temporarily) work" option rather than spending quite some time on wading through a bunch of scripts and options.

For now two questions:
Is there any easier way to find the set of scripts and their origin so that I can unblock all the items related to an event?
What is the difference between temporarily allowing all scripts on a page and disabling NoScript? My assumption is that this amounts to the same result, but my observation clearly shows that it is not.

The board broke your link, so... http://www.rp-online.de/nrw/freizeit/nrw-10-kuehle-freizeittipps-fuer-die-region-bid-1.5137009

NoScript does more then simply "blocking JavaScript" & even in a Globally Allow (JavaScript) mode, additional protections are still in place. https://noscript.net/features

Thanks for fixing that link. I read through the features list...but that still does not tell me what is going on here, for the most part because I do not fully understand the detailed technical workings in place.

> a.go-forward.

Is that the picture/caption changing, either from the >Arrow in the picture or the 'weiter' link?

If so, working on my end.

@Therapy: You seem to be using PaleMoon... see viewtopic.php?f=10&t=21084
*Always* check the changelogs BEFORE updating that important software!

It is the picture/arrow for proceeding to the next slide.
Yes, I am using Palemoon and I check the Palemoon forum and it looks as if you are on to something. I like you suggestion of looking at changelogs before upgrading. Too bad they only mean something to a developer and not 'dumb' users like me. That said, now that I know what I deal with it appears as that 2.6.9.32 "[Surrogate] updated googletag replacement" might be playing a role here.
Anyhow, the tip to check the Palemoon forums was golden because this post contains the fix, at least for me.

Thank you so very much for pointing me to the right direction. :D
