iFrame Bug FTW

posted by on February 5 at 22:09 PM

Apple’s Safari browser sometimes has issues with iframes, which we use to present our Slog polls, liveslogs, and other framey stuff. Sometimes the frame in one post will show whatever content appeared in the last iframe you viewed on your computer instead of the framed content you expect. You’ll see some political poll when you expect a Project Runway live Slog widget, for example.

SO.. the funniest sight on Slog tonight is:

P.S. If you run into this bug, just restart the browser. Clears it right up.

I'm more of a "one girl, two cups" kinda guy.

Firefox has that same bug every once in a while. But this was an especially good version of it.

I agree with Paulus, even if I now regard Harvey Danger as a threat to world peace.

It's not a problem, Anthony. Adblock in Firefox removes all of those dumb-ass frames with two clicks.

Wow, what is it with Adblock? People are so proud of themselves when they have that extension.

Adblock is stupid. You don't need software to remove your fucking ads. What is it with people who are so proud of their shitty bog software?

You DO need software to remove flash ads.

And "just restart the browser" is kind of a lame solution for people who have a dozen or so windows open in multiple user accounts.

Blerg. These aren't flash ads. Ivan must not have read what I wrote -- I was talking about our polls and live blogs and so on. Not ads. You can remove ads all you want--screw our business model!--I just think it's funny how proud people are of their adblockers. Lookit me! I'm anti-establishment! Blerg.

And yeah, restarting the browser isn't great, but it ain't my fault. My browsers save my sessions anyway, so I don't lose anything. Lookit me!

Just use Adblock - I use it to turn off all the annoying ads - not the ones that behave.

Hint - making your ad move gets you blocked - unless I click on it to make it move.

Anthony @ 9:

I know the difference between iframes and flash ads. Adblock removes iframes *and* all the ads.
