Requesting syntax help for new yahoo mail banner

[xtcmax]

Hello.
There is a new Tax banner in yahoo mail, which drops down/opens down/scrolls down as page is visited. I have failed to find a way to block it. I blocked the div, but the empty space still appears as on the provided image.
Please help.

I can't reproduce that ad
Did you try using EHH ?

[xtcmax]

I can't get this add to come down. I will update with more screenshots and info when it does.

What is EHH ?

[mapx]

EHH = element hiding helper (works together ABP and helps you creating your own hiding filters)

Hello agian.
I do use EHH, but that empy space keeps coming back. Here is the screenshot:



This "use EHH" brings another question.
When I want to select Narrower DIVs , I have to press N, but N in yahoo mail starts a new e-mail. How can I stop yahoo from using shortcuts?

[mapx]

I was able to reproduce that placeholder only temporarily and only using a us ip. I can't find a filter even using EHH.
Anyway you can use EHH in advanced view (and edit the hiding filters) and press the ABP icon on the left.

The ad does not always appear. Yahoo somehow keeps track of your viewing it and then hides it for a while. I have not been able to find a div to hide with EHH. Please clarify what advanced view is?

Now I can't even get the ad to appear to experiment with it.

If anyone has managed to hide it permanently please list the actual filter.

@xtcmax install Greasemonkey https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/a ... asemonkey/
create text file named y.mail.empty.space.remover.user.js
copy/past/save this code:

Code: Select all

// ==UserScript==
// @name Yahoo mail empty space remover
// @namespace Yahoo mail empty space remover

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('#shellcontent { right: 0px !important; }');
addGlobalStyle('#uhWrapper { margin-top: 0px !important; }');

drag and drop this .js fale to Firefox (install script) and refresh yahoo mail page and see if help.

Thank you all for the replies.
Here are a couple of more screenshots, perhaps it would help?

p.s. I will try the greasemonkey, but I really don't want to clutter my PC with extra stuff just because of 1 annoying add. I hope we can find a solution.

Smed,
I installed the Greasemonky with the provided JS. The empty space still appears.
