Yahoo Filters...

are you seeing finance ads (similar to what we saw on the Toppy-mentioned link) at the bottom of -
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/Stock-Prea...05621.html

I do (class="mod ysm clear"), not always though. It doesn't have an ID, but IIRC "ysm" stands for "yahoo sponsored messages". "ysm" is already in, but the filter's class expression is testing the entire attribute value. To keep it quick, i think, better a new entry, e.g. "mod ysm*", instead of wildcarding the old one.

Quote:also, what's your opinion on a filter that converts copyright disclaimers (in general, not just Yahoo) to "flyovers", kind of like our "timer box flyovers"... hover the copyright flyover, the site's copyright disclaimer appears?

Sounds like a nice gadget (and space saver).

Finding a generic matching expression might be not so easy.

For flyovers you may need to $ESCape the string. Disclaimers can be large. $ESC has a byte limit, i've forgot the actual value, but i've touched it, when writing the "cookies" flyover, so i had to split the string and use multiple $ESC commands.
