Websites with Background Websites

Greetings--

We're in the process of configuring PWBv2 on some kiosk machines. I think it's a great program and it will definitely do what we need it to do.

My question is about webpages (in this case, weather.com) that load a lot of other sub webpages. Is there a way to take care of these all at once? We would like our people to be able to check the weather forecast, but the "Access Denied" window pops up a half dozen times before the page finishes loading.

I have "weather.com" plussed in the url file.

I realise this may be confusing, let me know if I need to give more details.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, if the site opens to other URLs, PWB can not tell if it was the site or the patron. If PWB did not filter these it would kind of defeat the purpose of keeping people on the site.

It seems www.weather.com has quite a bit of different ad companies on their site. By clicking around the site with the [Security] DebugAccessString=True I think I was able to get most of the advertisers URLs. But they could change any time.

Here is the list I came up with.

-all
+JavaScript
+About:Blank
+weather.com
+c5.zedo.com
+g.thinktarget.com
+ads.partner2profit.com
+ads.peel.com
+adq.nextag.com

Maybe you would be better off with NOAA for weather forcasts. No ads and the same information.

Hi Scott--

Thanks for the information. Personally, I like NOAA's page, but you know how it is with "But we want the Weather Channel!"

What I ended up doing was putting all those entries into the URL.txt with a plus next to them, then adding them to the HOSTS file pointing to 127.0.0.1.

As a result, we are kioskin' like crazy. Should be able to put these out next week.

Thanks for all your help!
