To start off, can anyone tell me what is meant by "script"?

It's what doctors and pharmacists use as shorthand for "prescription"

A script is a set of instructions or commands to be carried by some program/application.

In our case the offending items were inside HTML or PHP files. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) are files that store web page information and are 'read' by your browser (i.e Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera etc).
PHP is a scripting language used on a web server to do stuff like read and write files, query databases etc (for completeness it stands for PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor).

Scripts come in various "flavours" (java, PHP, VB and several others) and are meant to make writing programs (sic) and websites "easier" .... unfortunately, they have two big drawbacks - they are very powerful and they are easier to write for non-techies, so the ranks of "hackers" have been swelled by "script kiddies".

Oh, dear !

It looks like there is still a problem ..... or two!

I don't recognise either 1sense.info or veryfastmoney.biz - and I don't think either of them sounds "kosher".

I was actually just going to do an illustrated bit on NoScript .... great sense of timing?

Chas,
1 - I don't get the same the smae dodgy scripts showing when I go to www.plakias.co.uk - just harmless advertising.
2 - Please can you explain the difference between allowing plakias.co.uk, www.plakias.co.uk and [a href=\"http://www.plakias.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.plakias.co.uk[/url] - as in the attached screenshot.
Thanks [attachment=490:SP32_160...7_194318.jpg]

Graham,

Those two allow options should do the same thing I would of thought.

OK I think I have got it all now.

Missed a bit of embedded java script.

Hopefully this is the end of it, though Invisions FTP has been down for 24 hours so they may have other problems.

@Paul

Looks good .............. Yipee!


@G&K

I'm running NoScript v.1.1.6.12  under Firefox v.2.0.0.6 -- I assume you have not updated to one or both of those versions, hence the different screenshot contents.

As Paul says, all three "plakias" flavours are essentially the same ... and from the screenshot, all are disallowed ???? !!!!!!

Chas and Paul - Thanks for the info. I presume though, on other sites, the three options could apply different restrictions (otherwise why give 3 options). I'm guessing that disallowing eg. anyname.com could apply to more than http://www.anyname.com with www.anyname.com in the middle.
