NoScript - Firefox, CPhog and Ajax...
-
I recently installed an add-in that default-disables java-script for websites until you manually allow it. I'm pretty happy with it. The extension is NoScript. Since installing it CPhog no longer auto-updates new posts using AJAX. My question is this. Since a new public version of CPhog was released about the same time I installed NoScript is Ajax updating disabled in CPhog or is this a NoScript issue? Also, is anyone else using NoScript and if so are you having the same problem? - Rex

Welcome to CP in your language. Post the unicode version in My CP Blog [ ^ ] now.People who don't understand how awesome Firefox is have never used CPhog[^]CPhog. The act of using CPhog (Firefox)[^] alone doesn't make Firefox cool. It opens your eyes to the possibilities and then you start looking for other things like CPhog (Firefox)[^] and your eyes are suddenly open to all sorts of useful things all through Firefox. - (Self Quote)

Since AJAX == async JavaScript and XML, AJAX stuff will break if you disable JS in the browser. --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP :cool: LINKS~! Ericahist | PimpFish | CP SearchBar v3.0 | C++ Forum FAQ VB > soccer

It's a NoScript issue. CPhog is fine here.
And when we saw the computer, when we saw its code - and Turing saw it first - we were looking at complexity incarnate. And then suddenly we saw complexity everywhere. It materialized, it crystalized around us - even though it had always been there.
We have yet to recover from the shock. -

What are you afraid of from JavaScript? In today's world of ever increasing usage of Ajax, I would think disabling Javascript would break more and more sites.. Rocky <>< Latest Post: Visual Studio 2005 Standard, whats missing? Blog: www.RockyMoore.com/TheCoder/[^]

We had a discussion in the office about just that. 1. Sites should work with javascript disabled 5. Sites should assume javascript is enabled. cheers, Chris Maunder

JavaScript is a great way to load pop-ups and page redirections, so what NoScript does is blocks JS for all sites except those on a whitelist. You just click the icon and tell it to allow JS, the page re-loads and in the future, that site is free to run JS. NoScript breaks lots of pages, but you just re-enable it for the ones that really bother you. Once you start using it you forget that pop-up ads ever existed.

If there is a legitimate use for javascript, you should go for it. There are lots of sites that use javascript where the use of css would be more appropriate. There is a big difference (IMO) if a site is trusted (like CP certainly is for virtually all of us) or not. So you get my 5 as far as CP is concerned.

For me, NoScript does not make much sense as i make extensive use of two excellent Firefox extensions: - Adblock (preconfigured blacklists available) - Remove It Permanently (blacklists may be imported) Additionally, i have deactivated some JavaScript permissions: - existing windows can't be moved or resized (i hate that) by JS - the context menu can't be changed - the status line text is read only Also, pop-up windows are blocked by default in Firefox. I rarely encounter annoying ads nowadays, especially not pop-up ads.

From the logs of vistors to my sites almost all people have Javascript enabled. I would say the few people that would visit a site that does not have them enabled is not worth the hassle and would never waste time on it. If there is a need for Javascript, use it and don't worry about the few that have to enable it to use a site. It is this building for the lowest common denominator that has held back web technologies for years. Time to move on and get this technology into a place outside basic text!

Many exploits use js on bad websites, so I better have it off by default using NoScript and turned on for my regular websites. Pavel

Are the exploits, Internet Explorer or actual Javascript (in other words, a problem in other browsers using Javascript such as Firefox)? If so, which exploit? After switching to Firefox back just before version 1.0, I have never had one exploit and run with Javascript enabled all the time. In addition, most poppups are killed automatically by Firefox and they few that slip by and no problem. They only other thing to disable is the ability to change the size of my window. This is not only for I, buy my wife also. She was hit continually with problems using Internet Explorer, but not once with Firefox in all this time. Disabling Javascript reminds me off all those people who got paranoid of having cookies enabled, you would have thought the were giving access to their first born by having cookies enabled. I just wish there was a CSharpscript built for all clients so we could dump this Javascript :) Rocky <>< Latest Post: Visual Studio 2005 Standard, whats missing? Blog: www.RockyMoore.com/TheCoder/[^]
