Saving without Javascript

[George Yong]

Hello All,

Is it possible to have an option in shelve where javascripts are not
saved with the other supporting files in the page?

I've noticed that, when viewing pages I saved offline with Shelve,
content that was inserted with Javascript (ads, etc) reappear.

Thanks,

-George

I don't know the answer, but if it is possible, it will also break
many needed things written in js.
So the optimal case may be blocking js ads from loading at all.

I use: RequestPolicy

YMMV

Hi,

In its current state, shelve doesn't really do much by itself when saving a document but it uses the standard functions to save documents or the maff plugin if available.

In order to disable only some javascripts, I guess shelve would have to duplicate features that are provided by adblock, karma blocker, noscript and similar plugins -- I don't know the above mentioned RequestPolicy plugin yet. IMHO it would be better to use one of those plugins or a proxy that filters ads -- if you're really that annoyed by those ads. You could also try to save documents with the MAFF plugin and check if it behaves better.

In short, I don't think shelve will ever try (hard) to rewrite documents and/or filter certain html tags in order to get rid of ads and similar unwanted elements.

Regards,
Tom
