Yahoo mail acting weird

[sidki3003]

Okay, thanks for confirming.
I forgot that you imply IE as browser. Yes, broken in IE6 here as well.


Troubleshooting isn't difficult:

First step is of course trying to narrow things down via the "Allow" section in the Prox menu.
That isn't really applicable here, because many documents are involved.

Next step: the webfilters.
- The two most likely trouble causing sections are "Anti-Scripting" and "Anti-Ad III - Specific".
Select the entire "Anti-Scripting" section and *right* click one of the checkboxes to uncheck them all.
-> Y!Mail works.

- "Anti-Scripting" has two different types of filters: The upper ones, all starting with "<script>:", and the lower ones. Latter being most likely responsible.
Upper section reactivated -> Y!Mail still works.

- Track it down to "Block/Modify: Sel. JS Methods".

- Reload config, go to the Headers window, uncheck "4.1.b Log to Main (ctrl+shift key) + Rare", and check "4.1.a Log to Main + Rare".

- Reload config after having logged in and having tried one of the defunct functions.

- Open Log-Main.log -- See:

Code:

[2009-4-2 16:27:07]    WEB JS_Method    location.href     http://mail.yimg.com/d/combo?/mg/5_2_15/js/yui_utils.js&/mg/5_2_15/js/core.js&bc/bc_2.0.4.js&/mg/5_2_15/js/darla.js&/uh/js/uh-1.3.2.js&/mg/5_2_15/js/async.js&/mg/5_2_15/js/imboot.js

- Add the corresponding bypass keyword, "i_loc_j:0.", to discussed IncludeExclude-U entry:

Code:

mail.yimg.com/d/combo\?*/darla.js $SET(0=a_adfn1.a_adfn2.i_loc_j:0.)

-> WFM, hopefully for you as well!

(Once IE supports the "__defineGetter__" method, like all modern browsers do, this type of problems will be gone.)
