I use the original Proxomitron - Universal Web Filter Version: Naoko 4.5 (2003-6-1)
I have enabled the following Web Page Filters: [img]http://img105.e.cx/img105/9004/mywebfilters8kb.th.jpg[/img] The "Kill All Backgrounds (even tables)" filter leaves some remains behind. Example: With the filter enabled [img]http://img105.e.cx/img105/9895/withfliterenabled2ba.th.jpg[/img] With the filter disabled [img]http://img105.e.cx/img105/4857/withfilterdisabled8mn.th.jpg[/img] How do I get rid of those ugly remains? Any help will be appreciated. Thank You. |

Hi, and to the forums! Those curves are probably images. I'm sure you're aware that there are no HTML codes that permit tables to have such corners, hence the need to resort to an image. Check your source code to be sure, though. :P Oddysey I'm no longer in the rat race - the rats won't have me! |

Hi Oddysey,
Thanks for the early reply and for welcoming me. I'm sorry I don't know anything about HTML or HTML codes [unsure] How do I find the source code and what do I do with it? [unsure] maybe you can help me with it... This is the offending website http://www.1024x768wallpapers.com |

Just look at Mozilla.org and then look at the source code. It's not really relevent to what hes asking, I just thought I'd point it out . �{=(~�::[Shea]::��~)=}� How 'bout you sideburns, you want some of this milk? This fading text is pretty cool, eh? I bet you wish you had some. |

In addition to the backgrounds/table remover, I use a filter that blocks images by name...
Code: [Blocklists] Code: [Patterns] My 'current' IMG SRC.txt file is: Code: # Proxomitron 4+ For your site in question, add the following to the IMG SRC.txt file: Code: lbo.gif To get the name of the .gif/.jpg, I right-click on top of the image and click properties - then add the name to IMG SRC.txt... Hope that helps... ps - the original filter idea is not my own, but I cannot remember from whom I got it (but the version above is altered quite a bit from the original to the point that the originator probably doesn't even recognize it - other than the idea of blocking images from a list of image titles)... |

Actually, you don't really need to know what's in the source code, because as ProxRocks points out, you can just as easily right-click on the image in question, click Properties, and discern the name that way. Once you've done that, you have the necessary information to plug into a filter that will then block the offensive image(s). However, as usual, ProxRocks has volunteered his filter for your use. Here's the quick and dirty on how to make it all work for you. Start your favorite text editor, and open the configuration file you're using. Odds are good that you're currently loading the file called 'default.cfg', found in Proxo's main folder. Once that file is open for editing, use your editor's search (or find) function to locate the Blocklists keyword. Make a new line just like what you see above in ProxRocks' message. In fact, you can just copy-and-paste his line right in there. Once that's done, locate the Patterns keyword, and copy-and-paste all eight (8) lines just as ProxRocks has shown them. Now you're done editing the config file, so save it, then close it. Open up a new file, and give it the name 'img src.txt'. As before, copy-and-paste the entire set of lines within the box above, and insert them into this new file. Add the four additional lines in the next box - ProxRocks has already found the offenders for you. Now save your file, and close your editor. Finally, re-load your configuration in one of two ways: either open Proxo's main menu, and hit the little blue disk icon with the red arrow; or just right click Proxo's tray icon, and select Load from that menu, choosing the default.cfg file (or whichever one you modified earlier). That should do it. Now go do it, and then report back to us how it went. Oh, and don't forget to thank PR, he's done a lot of homework for you on this!

It started out as an *easy* way to BLOCK images by the name of "logo.gif" (the 8.6 kilobyte 'logo image' on Google) or "header.jpg" (case in point, the 28.5 kilobyte 'header image' at the top of this very forum)... It then evolved into 'trapping' "banner", "footer", and "index" images... You'd be surprised how much bandwidth is WASTED by downloading "logos", "headers", and "index" GARBAGE... If it's over 5k or so, I do *not* WASTE my time downloading it... Not a 'rule of thumb', of course... and btw, I'M ON BROADBAND!!! |

Try viewing it in Firefox and when you hover over the links at the top, the background turns orange and the corners of it are rounded off. Now try viewing that same site in IE. Hmmm the corners seem to be pointed now. If you tak a look at the CSS file "/css/main.css" and scroll down to "#sitenav a" you will see this under it: -moz-border-radius: 0.5em; Only mozilla browsers know what to do with that. It sets how big the curve is. �{=(~�::[Shea]::��~)=}� How 'bout you sideburns, you want some of this milk? This fading text is pretty cool, eh? I bet you wish you had some. |

Thanks you guys I got the solution to my problem within 24 hours. I was expecting at least a 3 days waiting period.
ProxRocks; Thanks for sharing your filter and working on my problem. Now I can get rid of those pesky little remains for good. Oddysey; Thanks for breaking it down for me... I had no idea what to do with PR's filter. [lol] |

[angry] [lol] It would appear that I must now modify my previous statements, doesn't it? Consider them appropriately modified. I'd take bets that this is a direct result of the rendering engine (whatever it might be called), thus necessitating a new CSS parameter for borders. Any takers that IE7 will address this in some fashion? Maybe all the way, maybe only partially, but I'm betting that they won't ignore it completely. Whose game for some action? :P Oddysey I'm no longer in the rat race - the rats won't have me! |

The filter mentioned in this thread by ProxRocks (more details in the posts above)
Code: [Patterns] This filter works just fine on almost all the websites but it distorts some webpages... for instance http://winamp.com/ Also it distorts some threads in this and other forums. How do I fix this? Any help will be appreciated... thanks. P.S. I'm using Sidki's latest config (the best config there is) |

proud sidki config user myself also...
as for Winamp's site, the issue there revolves around: Code: <img src="/images/header/logo.gif" width="200" height="62" alt="NULLSOFT WINAMP" border="0"> Code: # Header Images edit: holy f&(^ing sh*t... no way in Hades am I *ever* visiting winamp.com again while allowing those /header/ images in... the D@mn page took 119.188 seconds to load - with TWO items still yet to be loaded... cleared the cache, hit refresh, then STOPPED the page from loading when SEVEN images were STILL 'waiting to be downloaded' - 87.516 seconds... On BROADBAND!!! no offense, but that is B&ll Sh*t... THAT is the problem with ANY web site with an "image server"... ANY image coming in from "/image/Blah/Blah" is a TOTAL WASTE... Just my humble opinion, of course... edit2: Good G*d... Is Winamp *always* that slow? I've revisited with sidki's out-of-the-box (4/2 and 6/9), with JD's 2003, 2004, and alpha, the basic and advanced, and with Grypens... Then went 'naked' and loaded the page with Proxo bypassed (a no-no in my opinion)... I'm looking at anywhere from ONE-AND-A-HALF MINUTES and BEYOND! to get that d@mn page to load... WTF!... tested my broadband speed and everything is "peachie"... it's just that d@mn site... |
