Detect ads within iframes (and nested iframes)

[CyrusSUEN]

Ask.com text Ads inside iframe
http://www.ask.com/web?qsrc=1&o=0&l=dir&q=stock&qo=serpSearchTopBox

This is critically important for the long run. We do already detect some ads in iframes, this page, for example. We need to now determine the structure of ads on the iframed pages where we are failing to recognize the ad.

Is it due to ...

• cross-domain restrictions
• iframes generated from javascript
• multiple layers of nesting
• no access to jquery in iframe
• timing issues (selector is tested before items are ready)
• some combination of the above

?

TEST CASES

Blocking:

-- Simple iFrame OK
-- Crossdomain iFrame OK
-- Simple Nested iFrame OK
-- JS-Created iFrame OK
-- JS-Created Nested iFrames OK

Hiding:

-- Simple ElemHide OK
-- Simple ElemHide in iFrame FAIL!

I have committed a fix to this -- please check it on the ads you have identified
