My advice to coders, if I give temporary permission to allow a couple of scripts so I can interact with a website then I have to allow another to see the results. Which usually makes me go back to the beginning to start my query again. REALLY REALLY PISSES ME OFF!

REALLY REALLY DOES!!!!!!

So you're pissing yourself off because you won't allow scripts?

why allow scripts when web designers can just not use scripts

I do allow the scripts. But want me to give permission to allow another one just to allow me to see my request......bad design.

Are you one of these coders guilty of this Doorjam?.....

That was kinda my thought...

If you're talking about the fact that sometimes you "temporarily allow all this page" in noscript and it pops up with more after that, it's most commonly because the ads you just allowed are linked back to other trackers, sometimes through multiple levels. That's *nothing* that the web designer has control over. It's strictly the bailiwick of the ad companies that made a pitch to them and got placement on the site.

If you REALLY don't like it - document which ones, when, where, and how. Then send a letter to both the web design and marketing departments for the site you visit. If people aren't visiting their site because their ads are causing trouble, well...money is the bottom line - they'll either talk with their current advertisers or find a new one if enough complaints get registered.

Be clear, concise, non-demanding, and ensure you don't whine or bitch, but the ONE thing a company listens to is ad revenue. If it's causing a problem for their traffic...they'll fix it.

The power is in YOUR hands. Use it wisely.

Ok Bardie, I will put my money where my mouth is and fire off two emails this week to the two main offenders that I use most. Expedia UK and trainline/ South East trains.

Done.

The final, all encompassing excuse is to "blame the end user".
