Google Alternate Display - intermittent
similar to the now-fixed (many thanks to JJoe) Yahoo Auto Login intermittent issue, i'm now noticing intermittent issues with the Google Alternate Display...
do a search, refresh several times... sometimes the right column sponsored ads will show, most of the time they will not... same intermittent on-and-off for the left column navigation... any ideas? |

I did not see a navigation column.
For ads and excessive <br> tags try: Code: [Patterns] HTH |

RE: Google Alternate Display - intermittent
How is it "missing", styling not being applied, ads showing?
My Google Dark was doing both. I did not check the other styles. I assumed... Dark and Light both target "<style id="themed">" in the Google code. Dark does more filtering, however. When it misses, what is the first line of browser-viewed source code? Are you seeing the ajaxed Google search page? Does the page's address contain a "#"? Hope they bury this new code but I'll test the other styles when I see it again. |

RE: Google Alternate Display - intermittent
by "missing", i mean that the styling is not being applied (the ads are blocked)...
when it "misses", the very first line of browser-viewed source code is "<html>" (whereas when it "hits" and the styling is applied, the very first line is "<!doctype html><html>")... am i seeing "ajaxed"? no clue, what is "ajaxed"? page's address does not contain a "#"... |

When it misses, do you see "/* Proxomitron light blue Google theme */" in the browser-viewed source code? (Oct. 31, 2011 10:44 AM)ProxRocks Wrote: am i seeing "ajaxed"? no clue, what is "ajaxed"? Basically, the ajax page's address would look like "http://www.google.com/#num=100&hl=en&safe=off&q=proxomitron". Some scripts then take the info after the "#" and create the page. Google Suggest uses ajax, I think. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ajax_(programming) I rarely use Light-Blue. Is it supposed to look something like the attached gif? ![]() |

yep, that gif is what it's supposed to look like when it is working properly...
the intermittent fail will have an all-white background and no search results highlights in the two shades of blue... i've been getting the "fail" several times a day... |

RE: Google Alternate Display - intermittent
google stopped "mucking up" on their end...
it's become clear that i was getting intermittent issues because they were changing stuff on their end... i haven't had the "intermittent" miss for several days - it morphed into no longer being "intermittent" to being permanent... once it became "permanent", i was able to debug it more effectively ![]() |
