Question

I'm using a mobile broadband usb stick and it's inserting a script into my pages. How can I stop it?

Answer 1

+5 A:

The modifications you're seeing aren't actually present in your site's markup. I've visited your site and can verify this. What's happening is, T-Mobile is trying to "optimize" any site visited using your wireless stick, and doing a bad job of it. This guy's reporting the same problem:

It turns out that T-Mobile (and Vodafone UK) think it is appropriate to insert their own Javascript into each page which I visit, which pipes all images through a proxy to degrade their quality. However, due to an improperly terminated newline, this script cannot be parsed by Firefox or Opera in conjunction with any XHTML 1.1 or XML documents.

Here's the first few lines of your head, as I see it:

<head> 
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> 
<title>The Smile Zone | Home</title> 
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="manager/templates/smiletemplate/css/style.css" /> 
<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.jotform.com/css/styles/form.css?v3"/&gt; 
<link href="manager/templates/smiletemplate/css/calendarview.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I don't know if you can override this behavior of your wireless service, but you can rest assured that other visitors to your site aren't having the same issues.

Can you confirm for me that css is included in a seperate file, not between style tags? This is a massive relief for me if you can. Thanks for the above info.

I can confirm it: `<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="http://www.jotform.com/css/styles/form.css?v3"/>`. That file contains CSS starting with "*Form CSS".

I see three or four inline styles; the vast majority are coming from those stylesheets.

Thanks so much. Lifesaver

Answer 2

A:

If you load the website using SSL or browse using a VPN (or Tor) then your ISP won't be able to see the data to modify it. This doesn't necessarily help your users, though.
