Custom Filter help

Hi not sure if this is the right place but i'll ask and see.

the daily mail website when you visit it with abp running there is a large white section where an ad used to be. which the element hiding helper identifies as:

Code: Select all

dailymail.co.uk##iframe[style="140843754:597330557;margin-bottom:0;2981248938:3417083795;border:0;4092633298:3814947365;width:100%;1209698098:2077508309;height:250px;2319258050:2145202134;"]

which gerericise as :

Code: Select all

dailymail.co.uk##iframe[style="*margin-bottom:0*border:0*width:100%*height:250px*"]

which unsurprisingly doesn't work. I wonder if anyone else can help short of blocking all iframes

You can't use wildcards that way

Use:

Code: Select all

dailymail.co.uk##iframe[style*="margin-bottom:0"]

(see where is used wildcard)

Excellent, thank you. so would i be right in thinking that:

Code: Select all

dailymail.co.uk##iframe[style*="margin-bottom:0"][style*="height:250px"]

would match margin-bottom = 0 && height 250 ?

I had thought we were performing like a regex on the text of the style rules, but it seems we are perfoming it on the style attributes themselves?

you can use regex only in the extended css filters (and obviously in the blocking filters)

yeah i see that. actually this way is better. it's just the way i was thinking about it was that we were patern matching the text of the style rules rather than the actual rules themselves.

but that is not the case.

thankyou foryour help.
