Silly question for sure, but I would love to know...

Hello,

Two questions please...

1) If the NoScript information bar that pops up at the bottom of the screen does not show up on a particular web page does that mean there are no scripts on that page?

2) How do you decipher the information in the Information bar? For example

Scripts Partially Allowed, 3/6 (yahooapis.com, yimg.com, yahoo.com) | <Script>:30 | <Objects>: 0

I see partially allowed and I see 3/6 Is it 3 out of 6 scripts, or does it mean that some scripts ran but got stopped by NoScript, so it is partially allowed!?

Then I see three named scripts. Are these the ones that ran, or the ones stopped?

Why does it list only 3 scripts when there are 6?

What are the objects?

Thanks for any clarifications.

Yes, more or less (there are no script elements or embedded objects like plugins, e.g. Flash).

Exactly.

The ones that ran.

You can see all them by opening NoScript's menu.
Some users called for allowed scripts to be listed in the bar, and there they are.

What are the objects?

In NoScript's lingo, objects is a synonym for embeddings, i.e. applications or subdocuments emebedded in the page, like plugins (Flash, Silverlight, Java...) or frames.
