Anyone else having trouble with this page:
http://www.cnn.com/TECH/

I am using IE8 RC1 here, but I expect any browser will problems. For me, the page is mostly blank.

Adding this line to Include-ExcludeU fixes it:

Code:

[^/]++cnn.com/        $SET(0=a_jsmeth.)

I hope there is a better solution.

Displays okay here in IE6 and IE7.

Edit: However! Just got that blank page at http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/ . Checking...

[sidki3003]

It seems to be cookie-controlled interstitial code, hiding "body *":

Code:

<style type="text/css" id="interstitialcss912707">
    body div.interstitial, body div.interstitial iframe
    {
        display:block !important;
    }
    body *
    {
        display:none;
    }
    body div.interstitial, body div.interstitial iframe
    {
        display:block !important;
    }
</style>

...followed by a blocked ad script, that turns body display on again:

Code:

var styleNode = document.getElementById('interstitialcss' + adId);
styleNode.parentNode.removeChild(styleNode);

Maybe it's worth a shot to do just the same as above script by having the site-specific container killer also look for style tags:
-> attachment

And then replace the old AdKeys-S entry:

Code:

[^.]+.cnn.com/            $SET(sAdKey=.cnnCeilAd.cnnContextualLinks
  .cnnNavAd.cnnSCRightColumn.contextualLinks.MagOF.)

...with:

Code:

[^.]+.cnn.com/            $SET(sAdKey=.cnnRR336ad.interstitial.MagOF.)

Some other things have changed as well as CNN, so i've replaced the old IncludeExclude entry:

Code:

## CNN
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[^.]+.cnn.com/video/    $SET(0=a_adscr.a_jslink.i_timer:0.)
i.l.cnn.net/cnn/video/    $SET(0=a_flash.a_adfn2.)

...with

Code:

## CNN
## ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
[^.]+.cnn.com/(video/$SET(0=i_timer:0.)|$SET(1=ban_1:0.))
i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/*/video/    $SET(0=a_flash.a_adfn1.a_adfn2.)

[DarthTrader]

Hi Sidki,

Thanks for those changes. CNN is working fine once again!

[wammie]

The new code shown above was released in the last published filter set, but since then, on my system, the CNN tech page and other main section pages still appear completely white and blank.

[DarthTrader]

It's very slow to load here, but other than that it all works fine.

[sidki3003]

Works for me too.

[wammie]

So I still need help!

At bottom left of the /TECH page I see these Prox indicators:
js in > Partial Ad: Adkey.2 referrer - frame - 623 - B
site > ban_1: 0 AdKey: .cnnRR336ad.interstitial.MagOF.
Flash > Toggle 1 Flash Object(s)

My AdKeys-S.ptxt file has the following line:
[^.]+.cnn.com/ $SET(sAdKey=.cnnRR336ad.interstitial.MagOF.)

Any idea what could be wrong?

Apparently below previously updated filter has fixed that issue by accident. Let me know, if not.

I've been operating in light mode. I tried the replacement filter suggested above for "Remove: Comment-Block Ads II" and adding the line for cnn.com in my IncludeExclude-U file, but the problem remains. :-(

I'm using the June, 2009 filter set (latest fixes) and I have not done any customizations.

JJoe, you're a genius! It works!!! Haven't been able to access those pages for over a year; had to use another browser. Thanks very much. PROX ROCKS!

[wammie]

So... according to this post, the next config set won't have a built-in solution for cnn/tech and cnn/[some other] pages that don't display in minimal or light modes?

[JJoe]

No program can do what each person wants for every situation.
There has to be a place to start from.

Does adding

Code:

www.cnn.com/  $SET(sComment=§<ADSPACE:§>begin)

to Exceptions-U fix all pages and break none?

If it does, wouldn't this be a better choice than forcing all users to a specific level?
