Hi

Just to let you know, that I am now receiving popunders again at http://www.wankspider.com. This is only a recent development, as up until about two or three weeks ago the popunders were being successfully blocked.

I believe the following is the code responsible..


function checkTarget(e)
{
var random = 1;//Math.round(Math.random());
var urls = new Array();
urls[0] = 'http://www.wankspider.com/showit.php';
urls[1] = 'http://creatives.livejasmin.com/iframes/wankspier/wankspier.html?psid=ed_wankspierpu&pstour=t1&psprogram=REVS&site=jsm';

var width = new Array();
width[0] = 920;
width[1] = 790;

var height = new Array();
height[0] = 580
height[1] = 680

//alert("Calling "+ getCookie('popundr_'+random));

if ( !getCookie('popundr_'+random) ) {
var e = e || window.event;

var win = doOpen(urls[random], width[random], height[random]);

setCookie('popundr_'+random, 1, 12*60*60*1000);
}
}

I'm not getting them, and I tracing the calls I could verify the anti-popunder surrogate is still working correctly.
Are you sure that you didn't modify either the noscript.surrogate.popunder.replacement or the noscript.surrogate.popunder.sources about:config preference?
If you did (they should be displayed in bold), could you use the "Reset" command on them?

Hi, yes I've checked and nothing was modified. I don't know if it makes any difference, but I have Cookie Monster installed, and I've disabled cookies completely for this site.

I've never done any javascript debugging before, but I'd love to learn. If you could tell me how you traced the javascript, I'll try it myself and see what I can find out...

And sorry, I should have mentioned. The popunders don't come right away, only when you click on a video...

You could use either Venkman or Firebug, but what I did is much simpler: I edited my noscript.surrogate.popunder.replacement about:config preference, sticking alert() statements where I expected code to be executed.

That's what I tested from the beginning.
Could you try on a clean profile?

Ok, I tested it on a clean profile and *success*. No popups...

So I loaded my old profile again, and checked my popup settings and guess what?? Somehow or other, http://www.wankspider.com was set to ALLOW popups!!!

D'OH!!!!!

Oh man, I can't believe I could be so stupid!!!!!

Anyway, by way of an apology for wasting your time, I've donated €20 via paypal.

Sorry again...


P.S.

Tell me more (if you've got time) about how you used the alert() statements when debugging. I couldn't quite figure it out....

How can I block mediafire popup which appear after I allow script on "http://www.mediafire.com"?
