is it possible to filter links based on their "href" attribute?

thanks,

You can hide them with something like:

Code: Select all

site.com#a(href=http://www.badlink.com/a.html)

or more general

Code: Select all

site.com#a(href*=.badlink.com/)

Rules like this and all other kind of hiding rules can be easily created with the Element Hiding Helper.

Thanks!

and is there a way to hide the parent of those links?

there is a site with a bunch of ads links inside a table, and i want to hide the entire table, is that possible?

[Ares2]

No, it only works vice versa (=hide a child node based on its parent). But there might still be a chance to hide that table with CSS selectors. If you you give me an example page, I can see if it's possible and explain it to you.

[amosmos]

if you look for example here: http://sports.walla.co.il/

you will see at the bottom of the most right column a table full with ads. i know you don't read hebrew so just look for a table title that reads: מדור פרסומי.

here is another explanation how to find it: it is a table, and the only html element inside a div which is also the only html element inside the last TD in that right column.

i know you don't read hebrew

How do you know that for sure? It's true though.

I guess you already know the Element Hiding Helper I mentioned in my last post? Just start it, hover over the element you want to hide ( you may need to use "w" (wider) and "n" (narrow) respectively the keys that show up in the yellow help box if you use the hebrew version of Adblock Plus) and click on it.

A window pops up, suggesting you a rule. In you particular example, this one should already be good enough (you can check the effect by checking and unchecking "Preview".

If on some sites the suggested rule doesn't have the desired effect (e.g. hides too much), you should first try to check more attributes ("align: center" for the example page) if that still doesn't work, you might want to use the advanced view and use parent items or pseudo classed like :last-child to define the element you want to hide.

It first sounds a bit complicated but once you get used to it, you will be able to hide pretty much everything you want this way.

Thanks!

indeed i started using EHH and it awesome.

i am just upset that some sites don't give their ads element a unique id or class which makes it easy to hide.

i am afraid to hide too much, especially because i am trying to find filters that can go on the easy list.

Thanks again!

Whoa, be careful anonymous.

I do not add too much in the EasyList for specific non-English-language sites. The EasyList is mainly for English sites and general global advertisers. It would be nice if someone would make an Israeli supplement subscription though. I do not support a language I don't understand ... that is why others have created 'complimentary' subscriptions to use with the EasyList (none for Israel so far though, afaik)
