I get a box showing a load of code at the bottom of every forum page :/ it seems to stretch the actual advert box... Annoying

// Instructions:
// 1. Create a file on your web server called ad.js using a text editor.
// (any name with the .js extension will work)
// 2. Paste this code into the .js file
// 3. Update the "... Javascript URL" in your Fastclick default to point to the .js file on your server.

var dz=document;
dz.writeln("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">");
dz.writeln("<!--");
dz.writeln("// ValueParameters");
dz.writeln("ValueHost = \"hs0270701\";");
dz.writeln("ValueLoaded = false;");
dz.writeln("ValueID = \"pagebuster\";");
dz.writeln("ValueVersion = \"1.1\";");
dz.writeln("ValueBannerType = \"std\";");
dz.writeln("");
dz.writeln("ValueWidth = 728;");
dz.writeln("ValueHeight = 90;");
dz.writeln("");
dz.writeln("ValueNoText = 1;");
dz.writeln("");
dz.writeln("//-->");
dz.writeln("<\/script>");
dz.writeln("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"Javascript\" SRC=\"http://oz.valueclick.com/jsmaster\"><\/script>");
dz.writeln("<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=\"JavaScript\">");
dz.writeln("<!--");
dz.writeln("if (ValueLoaded) ValueShowAd();");
dz.writeln("//-->");
dz.writeln("<\/script>");

Well, IE 6 for Windows XP Professional has been (randomly) asking if it can download the file vc-720.js from www4.macnn.com all day today, if that helps. (I've been clicking the "cancel" button).

What's the news, still happening.

[mkbhatia]

Which browser are using? i suspect that the file is not being properly recognized in your browser and thus being displayed instead of executed.

[lil'babykitten]

happens in Safari too.

[AKcrab]

Odd. I haven't seen this at all..
XP + Firefox
OS X + Safari

And still annoying.

[skalie]

Accidentally got the source code (again), having MacNN open while editing code, thought I may as well post it.

Code:

edit: Doh! the code was posted in the first post of this thread. 
:brick:

[thunderous_funker]

I've been getting it since thursday.

IE 6 and XP Pro

It seems to be part of one of the ads. It comes on every page until the ads change and then it doesn't happen any more. When I cancel the script, the ads are blank.

[storer]

Still there.. go away stupid code.

[starman]

Started again today with me, too.

Mike

[dcolton]

It is bad today. every new page brings the pop up.

[thunderous_funker]

Still happening. And on nearly every page.

It has to be one of the ads. Can we please do something about this?

Thank you.
