Stop SOPA Widget

Purpose

This widget will show a modal window to increase awareness about SOPA/PIPA on Jan 18th.

Usage

Add this snipet to the <head> or top of the <body> on your site:

<script type="text/javascript">
    (function(){
        var a=(new Date).getTime();
        if(a>=1326891600000 && a<=1326934800000 || window.location.hash=="#stopsopa"){
            var b=document.createElement("script");
            b.type="text/javascript";
            b.async=true;
            b.src="https://d3h3c6xp83q3fn.cloudfront.net/stop-sopa.min.js";
            var c=document.getElementsByTagName("script")[0];
            c.parentNode.insertBefore(b,c)
        }
    })()
</script>

Features

  • Defaults to show the Stop SOPA message on January 18th from 8am–8pm EST (1300–0100 UTC)
  • Uses cookies so the message is only shown once
  • Loaded asynchronously (won't block the rendering of your page or cause another point of failure)
  • You can manually trigger the modal before the 18th by adding the hash #stopsopa to the end of any URL on your site
  • Works across browsers (tested on everything from IE6 to iphone)
  • Our hosted version is served from a CDN for speed/global delivery
  • Supports SSL
  • Hackable! Feel free to modify and update however you'd like.

Known Issues

  • While we use JS to fix the wmode on flash, Iframes can ocassionally still peek through the modal in some browsers
