Try this:
var badWidget = document.getElementById('challengeWinnersWidget');
badWidget.parentNode.removeChild(badWidget);

Hi,
Sorry if this is a duplicate question, but it got zero hits on search
[Results: about 0 for block specific widget on webpage]
There is a webpage I like to read, but it has a scrolling picture
widget which updates every ~3 seconds. With terminal ADHD, each update
distracts me for about 2 seconds reducing my already anemic reading
efficiency by ~67%.
The best solution I have been able to accomplish so far is in Firefox to
Right click -> inspect element
click on picture scroller
page up to find "widget challengesWinnersWidget"
right-click and delete node.
It works perfectly until I (eventually) move to the next page or until
the page automatically updates.
I have tried Adblock Plus half a dozen different ways with no effect.
The solution provided by the Adblock Plus technical support moderator
is also totally ineffective. It would be nice if Adblock could merge
their deleting technology with their hiding technology. Whether it
gets deleted or hidden, I can't tell the difference as long as it is
gone.
At least there is some consolation in the fact that the Expert
Solution provided by the software manufacturers Customer Support Guru
was no more effective than my Quixotic attempts. If GreaseMonkey works
here, then I can rationalize these difficulties as the result of poor
software rather than abject technical ineptitude. :)
The page is http://www.dpreview.com and the code which when deleted,
removes the entire widget is:
<div class="widget challengesWinnersWidget"><div
class="widgetTitle">Finished challenges</div><div
class="widgetContent"><div class="challengesWinnersWidgetContent"
id="challengeWinnersWidget">
Researching similar items, I have tried these blocking attempts:
--------------------------------------------------------
// ==UserScript==
// @name Background Change
// @namespace http://www.example.com/ juliet/
// @description Change the background colour of a page
// @include http://www.dpreview.com/*
// @grant none
// ==/UserScript==
var badDivs = $("div div:contains('challengesWinners')");
badDivs.remove ();
//<script>
//$( "challengesWinnersWidget" ).hide();
//</script>
//<script>
//$( "challengesWinnersWidgetContent" ).hide();
//</script>
//<script>
//$( "widget.challengesWinnersWidget" ).hide();
//</script>
What am I doing wrong?
Cheerio,
Brian
