NoScript can be set to allow all sites to execute JavaScript by default.

It gives you diabolical warnings about how the Apocalypse will befall you if you do (I find this odd, given how many people surf safely with Firefox with JavaScript enabled) but, muttering and mumbling, NoScript will obey you :-P This is how I set it up until I just got annoyed with the whole thing. It doesn't do what I want: to enable and disable JavaScript for a page *without* necessitating reloading the page.

No quite what I want

Yep, but what I want is the reverse. So many sites reply on JS, that to have it disabled by default, as with "NoScript" makes for a pretty duff online experience. I need a tool where all sites are enabled by default, but then sites I want to disable to be added to a blacklist. Obviously, a tool that handles both would be ideal for everyone.

Unfortunately, if you go round the web with JS off, you run into a lot of sites that do very little, or don't work properly. Any sites using AJAX ( "Web2.0") will of course fail completely!

Even here on the forum, JS is used, and with it disabled, you loose various options.

Re: Webshots speedup tip !

Brilliant! Webshots is much better without Javascript!

Nigel, you need NoScript (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/722/). It lets you enable/disable scrips on a per-site basis.

Webshots speedup tip !

With JavaScript (JS) enabled, clicking on a thumbnail in a gallery gives you the 'medium' sized picture, BUT it is actually delivered in Flash format, but obviously not animated. I have Firefox with Flash disabled , it just shows a Play button that you have to click.

Anyhow, if you disable JS (it would be nice to be able to set this on a per site basis !) then the medium sized pic is then a proper image which can be saved as normal, and the page loads much quicker too !

With JS disabled, everything else still works fine on Webshots, to get the full-sized pic, just click the link given. Just remember to re-enable JS when you've done.

webshots has died !!! you can no longer save the pictures that are on it, the video-option does not work properly

text is unreadable, at the right side of the page , every bit of text, buttons image-previews are not visable anymore how come ?

will it ever work again ???

could it all be linked to a possable virus or did the creaters of webshots just screw up?

please let me know what's going on arround here !
