Disabling Freeservers and Yahoo! Geocities Banners.

Well this is just a thought but..maybe you could convert the vb api fucntions of "findwindow" and then "closewindow"
to javascript.
I know there is java api but i dont know about the interchangability of the two.

eiSecure can you post a link to an example?

Where there's a will theres a way. Figuring that out should be more interesting then what I'm supposed to be working on anyways

Can you point to some sample sites that have the banners?

OK this seems like a really lame way of doing it but it seemed to work in my little test. It looks like Geocities puts their menu code after everything in your html file. So if you put:
<noframes>
as the last line of your HTML file (after the </html>) the menu code will be ignored by browsers that support frames. It seemed to work with IE 5, I havn't tried with Netscape yet.
Tell me if this code works once you upload to their server, I was running this test with a local copy.

Here is how to get rid of Tripod's banner:

Code:

<SCRIPT>
<!--
function close_nagwin(){
var popupURL = "blank.html";
popup =
window.open(popupURL,"TripodPopup",'toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0,resizable=0,width=0,height=0');

popup.close()}

close_nagwin();

// -->
</SCRIPT>

And here is how to get rid of a banner that sits on your page (I think it works):

Code:

'Taken from a warez site 
'forgot the site though, I just have the source

<script language="JavaScript">
 function start()
{
'took out whatever was here
}
</script> 

<body onLoad="start();if (self != top) top.location=self.location; return true" vlink="#FFC001" alink="#FFC001">

If you want the whole source code, I will send it to you.
I'm sure it may be what your looking for to keep your page on top of banners.

Dennis, can you try putting the noframes tag as the last line of your web page and see if it gets rid of the banner?

**eiSecure** · Aug 24th, 2000, 05:46 PM

my web site is http://www.eisecure.com
it is hosted by freeservers.com
For the geocities part, I don't need the code anymore. I got a really cool code snipplet from http://bannerkillers.cjb.net
They also have a section on how to kill freeservers banners, but it doesn't work.
Thanks!

Thanks!

which page NoOne??
Geocities or FreeServers?

Aug 25th, 2000, 02:33 PM

Check your email. It's the whole page, which is not much, but I hope you get the idea.

**eiSecure** · Aug 25th, 2000, 06:56 PM

Hmmm...
Didn't see the code you said. Only saw code for making the user vote for them.
Can you post it up here, or email just the code to me?

This is all you really need in the text file I sent. Not sure about this, but try this:

Code:

<HTML>
<script language="JavaScript">
 function start()
    {
    }
</script>
<body onLoad="start();if (self != top) top.location=self.location; return true">
</HTML>

Or this:

Code:

<HTML>
<body onLoad="if (self != top) top.location=self.location; return true">
</HTML>
