The code replaces just the URL and leaves all of the other attributes of the HTML the same. The principle is to make the smallest possible change to the HTML that removes them. > I tried replacement-webbug-image= but it insists on a URL.

(Yes, I already don't fetch them.) Yes, scripts are different because they are not rendered and there isn't anything useful to replace them with (except for the replacement.js that you mention). The replacement.js is useful for the DontGet section of the configuration file while the disabling of Javascript only applies to the ModifyHTML section. If you haven't got the ModifyHTML enabled you can still replace the scripts that you don't like. -- Andrew. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew M.
