Namaste!

Anyone know how to stop Skype (or other services) from inserting their stuff into an area and disrupting the CSS? Or, how to detect/counter it?

Is is a matter of seeing what that object’s class is, overriding it, setting display:none?

Thanks!

Peace, Love, and Light,

1. What browser is this?
2. Are there any extensions from Skype that might be detecting phone numbers and inserting this?
3. Do you have a URL we can take a look at?

This occurs in my client’s browser, and she’s using Firefox.

I believe there is a Skype extension installed & operational. While I have Skype, I don’t have it running, so don’t see the insert.

Here is the url: [http://www.affordabletaxprep.org/](http://www.affordabletaxprep.org/)

OK, yes. I don’t see the Skype button here (and it’s likely that’s due to the Skype extension). It’s possibly / probably not worth your time to work around it (the CSS that Skype applies etc may well change). A little client education may be necessary 😉

Thanks @nikf - I have indeed already “edumacated” my client. 😉

I’m betting the Skype insert is probably done after the page is rendered anyway, which means anything I’d do at the page level would likely be overridden.
