Find the hidden element, and win the kewpie doll!(HTML)

[schwim]

Hey there guys,

I need some help, as I'm slipping in my old age.

I need help finding the element in this page that causes it to refresh on a schedule. After that, I need help coming up with a greasemonkey script that will block it.

I run with j/s disabled, so I'm pretty sure we can rule that out, but I've checked the stylesheets and I've blocked the shoutbox and right nav pane, but the page continues to refresh. It doesn't seem to be the iframe for the shoutbox, but I could be wrong.

The Recording Project (http://www.google.com/search?q=%22the+recording+project%22&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a). Link goes to google because I'd rather this thread not show up in his referrers :) Just click the first result.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. :D

thanks,

well...seeing as its written in php they probably defined the refresh using header() which basically sends a raw instruction to your browser. It's actually quite simple with something like: <?php
header("Refresh: 120;");
?> as far as i know you would have to use a third party app to capture the raw http trafic to verify this, but there is nothing in the code that i can find that would refresh the page. the only way to do that with html (which is what it would have to be, if not js) is a meta tag that is definitely not there.

as far as stopping it? hmmmm.... i don't want to say it's impossible but i sure wouldn't know how to do it.

hope that helps :)

Dang! Nope. Nothing here. Header was the first place I went hunting too. Of course, that would have been as obvious as a brick to the head! Sorry to insult your skills like that! <..:p..>

Hey there guys,

Thanks very much for the ideas. I thought of the php refresh, but most people who use a forum like phpBB don't go to the trouble to customize the code. It's beginning to look like that what they might have done though, as I can't find any other reason it's refreshing.

I'm gonna goof around with artificially inserting my own command to refresh at a much longer interval via j/s or dhtml to see if I can do anything that way.

The resolution?

I had it installed all along. Web developer extension allows you to disable meta redirects.

Thanks to my buds at the php forum, as I would have never found the option :)

thanks for your help guys!
