blocking html

[BennyD]

is there any way to block certain pieces of html from being displayed?

say i wanted to block out a java message alert or a particular phrase

or even create a content filter to remove harsh language?

anyone know how to do this?

in which language you wanna do that? PHP?

You could probably do that with a proxy like Proxomitron.

i mean is there a file somewhere you can edit, like the hosts file or similar

or maybe even a setting in a browser?

does proximation need to be run constantly or what?

Yes, a "proxy server" is a program (or hardware device) that goes between your browser and the net. You might have heard of "net nanny" type software that keeps kids from opening "bad" sites, which is another kind of filtering.

No, you can't just tell Windows to filter out HTTP the way you can apply rules to e-mail, you need to run a program (like Proxomitron) that steps in between the browser and the remote site. You can block ALL html from sites using tricks like editing the "hosts" file, but that completely cuts off that web server.

He doesn't state in which browser, if he wants to use it for programming, etc.

Stop posting yourself.

What he said. It's free and arguably the best web filter I've ever used. You can even connect through free public proxies with is shoud you choose to.

Yes. Install it and set you browser's proxysettings to use "localhost" on port 80.
