I don't think that Javadcript in CSS deserves popularization. This is very dangerous for CSS as a tool. In my opinion Opera should drop support for this.

Hello, Rijk, thanks for the useful tips. I added the lines in my browser.css and changed the background-color and font-size a bit. I am so impressed to see the 'Flash', till I tried to click 'Reply' to someone or 'Delete' spam at GMail, which you've invited me some time ago.
Do they use Flash at gmail.com? I don't think so, but after comment out the lines I added, it comes to work again on 760TP3.

TP4 build 7364b still cannot 'Reply' or 'Send', 'Delete SPAM' at GMail with this lines, which is so sorry.

For a while, till 760 Release, will try to use 'Open in Firexxx' at GMail.

- took me a loong time to notice this post :-)

The JS sets window.onclick - that probably overwrites GMail's own window.onclick and breaks things. The script should use

window.addEventListener('click' , function(){var srcElem=window.event.srcElement;var tag=srcElem.tagName;if(tag=='EMBED') srcElem.className='zichtbaar'}, false)

Hallvors, took me a while too to read your comment, danki to Tracio who pointed me here.

This script does the trick, thank you. :)

Where exactly in the script does that go? Could someone post the full script, or update the file to work with GMail?

right now, my script looks like this, and it blocks but won't let me unblock flash:

embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"] {content:"Flash"; outline: 1px dotted gray; color: gray; background: black}
embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"].zichtbaar {content: normal; outline: none}

body:before {
position: absolute; visibility: hidden;
/*
background-image: url("javascript:(function(){window.onclick=function(){var srcElem=window.event.srcElement;var tag=srcElem.tagName;if(tag=='EMBED') srcElem.className='zichtbaar'};})()");
*/

background-image: url("javascript:(function(){window.addEventListener('click', function(){var srcElem=window.event.srcElement;var tag=srcElem.tagName;if(tag=='EMBED') srcElem.className='zichtbaar'}, false);})");

content:""
}

Try replacing the background-image line with this:
background-image: url("javascript:window.addEventListener('click', function(){var srcElem=window.event.srcElement;var tag=srcElem.tagName;if(tag=='EMBED') srcElem.className='zichtbaar';}, false)");

I would realliy like to try this... but to which CSS must I add it? There are several CSS files in my Opera directory.

right now my code looks like this:




embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"] {content:"Flash"; outline: 1px dotted gray; color: gray; background: black}
embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"].zichtbaar {content: normal; outline: none}

body:before {
position: absolute; visibility: hidden;
background-image: url("javascript:window.addEventListener('click', function(){var srcElem=window.event.srcElement;var tag=srcElem.tagName;if(tag=='EMBED') srcElem.className='zichtbaar';}, false)");
content:""}



pretty much the same as listed above (i changed to window.addeventlistener since i was having problems with GMail too). however, i installed the opera 9 preview and a problem appeared. when browsing the my.opera.com forums, every time a page (of these forums) loads, opera takes up 100% of the cpu for about 5 seconds. i've isolated the problem to this piece of code above (as in, removing it from my user.css file means no problems, and having it in means they exist). can anyone look into it and find a solution? thank you inadvance.

EDIT: the problem was not present under opera 8.5 with the same setup.

EDIT 2: i believe the problem can be found in the http://my.opera.com/community/js/menu.js file, which also has something like addeventlistener in it. more than that i cannot help, i never wrote 2 lines of code in my life, but perhaps someone could alter the flashblock code a little so it works again?

I have altered the css code to include the same image that comes with the Firefox Flashblock extension for Opera 8.51.

embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"] {
content: url(http://img467.imageshack.us/img467/9899/flashblock2tp.gif);
}
embed[type="application/x-shockwave-flash"].zichtbaar {content: normal; outline: none}

body:before {
position: absolute; visibility: hidden;
background-image: url("javascript:window.addEventListener('click', function(){var srcElem=window.event.srcElement;var tag=srcElem.tagName;if(tag=='EMBED') srcElem.className='zichtbaar';}, false)");
content:""}

Create a css file in your Opera\styles directory and name it user.css; paste the above code into this file and save it. To enable the code, you have to go to Tools and then Preferences. Click on Advanced and then the Style Options button. Navigate to the user.css file you just created and select it. Ensure that the My Styles check boxes are checked and then click on OK and then OK again. Restart the browser and the Flashblock button will appear when flash banners are encountered; you can click on them to play the flash.

Thanks for the tip about flash blocking! It takes care of those that can't be blocked by disabling Flash.

BTW - how does Flash load on a site if not by javascript? I've searched the page code in such cases and can never see a reference to Shock, Flash, .swf

thanks,

I don't know where to post this - I found that this is the only page that mentions the notion in the context of my huge problem.

CAN ANYBODY - P L E A S E - TELL ME, HOW TO REMOVE THE OPERA OUTLINE FROM MY BUTTONS???


I am building a page with enhanced accessibility functions, but Opera is giving me a major headache.

Is there anyway ( Opera way ) to remove the default outlining style and especially the FOCUS navy selection color from my navigation buttons please?

Many thanks in advance.
