How to disable licensing alert? (Obfuscated code)

I’m trying to run some horizontal scrolling div mouseover code I downloaded from dyn-web.com. As the mouseover page is loading a licensing alert pops-up, which is rather annoying. Please help me disable it!

The code is obfuscated but I think I have narrowed it down to a single block in one of the several .js files. I’ve been concentrating on dw_scroll.js, which can be found via this link: [url]http://www.dyn-web.com/code/scroll/demos.php[/url]

I know very little about coding and am trying to build my first website. I read in this forum (on this page: [url]http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/showthread.php?t=143982[/url] ) of the obfuscation function dw_Inf.fn=function(v){return eval(v)}; and message containing property dw_Inf.mg. I managed to successfully remove the latter, but am having difficulty with the former. Thus far I have only managed to change the license alert message from one of copyright to ‘undefined’.

This is the original code from the unaltered js file:

Please help me eliminate the alert/popup altogether! I have already spent quite a lot of time playing with the code but to no avail; [most of] the many parts of it I removed cancelled out the scrolling function and so had to be replaced. Perhaps this will be a nice de-obfuscation challenge for someone!

@Calvert_TripesiApr 10.2011 — So you're asking for help with the theft of intellectual property?

You may want to think about the legal implications of such a request.

@PacificusauthorApr 10.2011 — There is no such thing as intellectual property. We are all connected – we are all one and the same. The Global Consciousness Project is providing increasing evidence to support this. Even if we are not all aspects of the same consciousness, technological development is never accomplished by the individual or insular group; it is a process of evolution which can be traced back thousands of years step by step.

Intellectual property rights is a means by which the establishment would have us fighting each other in order to perpetuate disharmony amongst our species. It is a nonsensical concept, and one worthy of disrespect. It is based on money, which is based on nothing of any good. The monetary system keeps us in competition and constantly against one another. I prefer cooperation and benevolent sharing. As we are effectively – or literally – one single entity, what good is competition? What good can come from the brain being in competition with the liver for nutrients from the blood supply? The winner, be it the brain or the liver, might temporarily feel elation, but both organs, and the rest of the body, would rot away in a month.

For more of my opinion and thoughts on intellectual property rights and the monetary system, read this essay:

Regardless, the code writer has made the mouseover code available for free for non-commercial use, which is what I intend to use it for. However, the developer did not make clear enough the fact that the license notification would pop-up when the page is loaded. Programming that clear annoyance into their code is, in my opinion, a pretty vile and low thing to do. So help me counteract it with righteousness!

As for legal implications: I live in a common law country, and common law consists basically of a single law: do not harm anyone. Ergo, no law would be breached by my removing the unjust popup from the mouseover code, as no one would be harmed. I certainly have no intention of purchasing a commercial license for the code just to have the popup removed; I would sooner seek an alternative, although I am not keen to do so as I have invested a lot of time and effort into that code already, only to be met by the unwelcome surprise of the popup once the page went online. (Why did they program it so that the popup did not function during offline previews of the page? That’s another pretty low move on their part.) Further, I do not have a lot of money and can ill-afford to part with what I do have.

Please consider the above and help me de-obfuscate this code!

Thank you.

I am intending on using the code for personal use only. The Dyn-Web code specifies that the copyright notice at the top should remain. I intend to leave it in place. There is no rule that states the popup cannot be removed. Therefore, in terms of rules at least, this should be considered an exercise in code manipulation not 'cracking'.

Anyway, I only registered and posted my request on this forum after first finding an old thread here on precisely the same thing - how to remove the popup from Dyn-Web code. That thread is a few years old, but the initiator of it received help. I'm hoping for the same!

By the way, and for what it's worth, I have some basic Photoshop skills and I am happy to work on image manipulation in exchange for help with this code. I wonder if Dyn-Web would trade. H'm.

@PacificusauthorApr 10.2011 — Fang,

I over-looked your Dyn-Web quote when I made my last reply. Perhaps I'm not keen on requesting popup-free code from them due, in part, to my naturally suspicious nature as well as my low confidence in them granting my request. Wouldn't it be more fun to de-obfuscate?
