I think you are using the filters that come with the Proxomitron aka Scott's set?

"upPrev" appears to be a WordPress plugin, http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/uppr...in-button/ .

I suspect most site will use some generic version of it. So, a generic web page filter that targets the box (like already posted) might remove this "feature" from many other sites.

The script is http://www.vikitech.com/wp-content/plugins/upprev-nytimes-style-next-post-jquery-animated-fly-in-button/upprev_js.php?ver=3.4.1 . So, you could (or also) target keywords in a typical address with a web filter

Code:

[Patterns]
Name = "Remove upPrev wordpress plugin"
Active = TRUE
URL = "$TYPE(htm)"
Bounds = "<script*</script>"
Limit = 256
Match = "*/upprev_js.php*"

AND/OR a header filter

Code:

[HTTP headers]
In = FALSE
Out = TRUE
Key = "! : RDIR: block upPrev"
URL = "*upprev_js.php"
Replace = "Killed\k$LOG(!RGET $DTM(c) : upPrev blocked URL: \u)"

None of the above addresses slide-ins like but not upPrev. As ProxRocks says, javascript provides many ways to do/hide these things. I don't see common code to target without consequences.

My (sidki's) set controls timed events with a button that appears near the bottom of the page. I must click this button to see the upPrev box. Not easily added to Scott's set.


For the sidki set, http://prxbx.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=1870
My opinion, all ads can't be blocked with out disturbing content and not all upPrev boxes are ads. upPrev will be left to the "Timer" button or the user.
