Well, it looks like the Chicago Tribune is trying harder to prevent folks from downloading their RSS content in batch mode. They've implemented a new countdown timer which pops up a black box with counts down from 18 seconds to zero, then displays the article. There's no text in the box, just the numbers, but if you close the box by clicking the pseudo-X in the upper right-hand corner, it goes to the article immediately. The result is no articles actually download -- just the article titles.
Here's a sample URL:
http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/chica...Bg/story01.htm
Here's the bit of code that seems to be causing the problem:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
doCountdown(18000/1000);
setTimeout( 'location.href = \'http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/hockey/blackhawks/ct-spt-0228-blackhawks-trade-chicago--20120228,0,3141821.story?track=rss\'',18000);
});
function doCountdown(countdownTime) {
countdownRemaining = countdownTime - 1;
if(countdownRemaining > 0) {
$("#timeCountdown").text(countdownRemaining);
setTimeout("doCountdown(countdownRemaining);", 1000);
}
};
