Details of scripts currently forbidden

[john]

Is there a way to examine the scripts that show as currently forbidden? For example, <script>:7 <object>:0. How would I view the contents of that particular script.

Well, I just went to YouTube, on the Firefox toolbar clicked "View" > Page source, and on the page source, "Find" = js. This revealed http://s.ytimg.com/yt/js/base_all_with_ ... l105947.js. I opened a new tab and pasted that address in. This gave a huge blob of text, which I copied and pasted to a word-processor document for easier reading. This 297-k document contained 95,000 characters. That was for 9 scripts and one object. I don't konw which particular script you want: you said 7, meaning that seven different scripts are running. So it would show all 7 as above. it's not "script #7", if that's what you meant. It's the total number of scripts.

For what it's worth, I have seen Yahoo Mail running 60-80 scripts at once. In any event, that should keep you busy for a while.

Someone else may know of a quicker, more direct route than that. But this got me there pretty quickly. Cheers.

@john:
I use the JSView extension. Have you tried that yet?

Thank you both for your replies. Both are helpful, especially the jsview extension. That really helps in evaluating whether or not a site can be trusted. Thanks!

You're welcome.

What I should have said was, "Alan Baxter will know of a quicker, more direct route than that". I don't know why I didn't.
