    Does anyone want to write a browser that strips all the java/javascript/activex out before displaying a web page?

      DHTML is a microsoft thing, not an internet thing. Hmmmmm.... Have you ever heard of w3c? BTW, what are the evil thing with DHTML. I guess you don't like innovation, and prefer VI to edit source files... - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

      DHTML may be innovative to someone, but in most implementations, it's intrusive to me. Clear and simple. DHTML came right out of Microsoft.

        The best way to get rid of those popups would be to somehow disable the OnLoad() JavaScript handler, but I'm not sure you can do that without actually disabling all JavaScript commands. I retract this statement because the popups/-unders are getting smarter. Some are no longer loaded in the OnLoad() handler, but in inline scripts. Funky. Jon Sagara Sagara Software

          Hey John, I agree with you about popup windows. There's an app out there (forget it's name sorry) that sits in your tray and blocks popup windows from websites. Very cool and easy to use. DHTML is really, really handy if used correctly (form validation, these forums, navigation aids like menus) but like any tool it can be abused. If you turned off everything (script, Java, ActiveX) then CodeProject would still work perfectly for you. cheers, Chris Maunder (CodeProject)

          That's what I needed to know. However, I'd still like a browser that would let me turn the stuff off without continually asking me if I want to run the ActiveX stuff on a given site.

            Isn't it much more simple writing a proxy server that filters the things you don't want to see ? This way, the user can keep using the browser he/she likes to use (statistically proved: IE) :rolleyes: Furor fit laesa saepius patientia

            I'm not conerned with what other people use, and why should I have to do anything more complex than changing *my* browser settings, or even better, not having to change my browser settings at all.

              In most cases I love DHTML. It makes it a lot faster to read this forum. :) Yes, MS invented DHTML, but today it's a w3c standard. - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"
