Using CSS Style-Sheet to Exclude Smilies

[loseyourname]

The html source is:

<img src="images/smilies/*.gif" border="0" alt="" 
title="*" class="inlineimg" />

(* being the wildcard that changes from smilie to smilie)

So I input this line into my style sheet:

IMG[SRC*="/smilies"]

Directly before the "display: none" script. I'm not a programmer, so I'm being intuitive here. I have tried other lines emulating the code to one degree or another, but nothing has worked thus far. Any ideas?

By the way, thanks to mattmns for giving me this idea in the first place. For whatever reason, it had never even occurred to me.

 

[mattmns]

Yeah css, is probably the more 1337 way to do it. Adblock is the newb way though Ohh I guess you can't see that, well :)


edit.. ohh I thought you had figured it out, and were showing it lol. Let me see.

 

[mattmns]

Ok, add

{ display: none !important }

to the end of that line with a space in between to make:

IMG[SRC*="/smilies"] { display: none !important }

Seems to work for me ohh yeah lol

Hmm my posts look a bit awkward, as I use smilies to end sentences :)

 

[loseyourname]

That's exactly what I have in there (what I meant by "directly followed by the "display: none" script) and smilies still show.

 

[mattmns]

Did you copy the code exactly how it is shown? Because I think the curly brackets are important. Copy it exactly like this: "IMG[SRC*="/smilies"] { display: none !important }" Without the quote marks.

hmmm. You have it in your userContent.css file right? And you have it in your profile_folder/chrome/ directory right?

If not, I am not sure, I am no expert in these things. Here is my userContent.css file though:

Everything else works. It blocks out all ads, but it won't block smilies. The section specific to smilies is this:

A:link[onmouseover*="AdSolution"] IMG,
*[ID=inlinead],
*[ID=ad_creative],
IMG[SRC*=".msads."],
IMG[SRC*="/smilies"] { display: none ! important }

The only difference between my line and yours is that mine has a space between "!" and "important." I know that line works, though, as it's like that for everything I'm blocking, and everything else has been blocked. The directory for me is actually /library/safari, since I'm using Safari. The directory is different than for Firefox.

Actually, I'm going to try implementing that line in Firefox and see if it works there (I have it installed, just don't ever use it).

 

[mattmns]

It looks like it should work. Maybe try the code at the very bottom by itself, just for simplification. Maybe try my style sheet in safari.

Other than that, I don't know. Maybe try some Safari forums.
