Can I use hide element with this code?

[MackemX]

Hi all, 1st post here and I'm slowly learning how to do stuff, especially with from rick752 but I'd like to learn more

how much of this code, if any, could I hide?

Code: Select all

<b>This is <a href="http://testdomain.com/test/" class="abcde" title="testing:playing_around">a test</a> though <a href="http://testdomain.com/extra/" class="edbca" title="testing:me_again">I'm 

not sure!</a></b>

There are three elements you can block (two of them are nested in one).

what are the 3 elements I can block and what would I be left with on the page?

[Sheepy]

One < b > and two < a >.

You can hide the b (i.e. everything), first a, second a, or both a.

One <b> and two <a>.

You can hide the b (i.e. everything), first a, second a, or both a.

I get it now and it's quite simple really ;). It's even easier to instantly see when I look at the code using Firebug

obviously this is just one line of code but if I was to hide the <b> on a page would it hide every other <b> on the page or can I specify the text also to stop this?

or can I specify the text also to stop this?

Nope, you can't define it by the nested text (that's what I was trying to tell you about yesterday). Remember that I told you about 'treeing' to the one specific tag one though? You can find an element ahead of it and then 'tree' standard css code to specify that single "b" relative to another defined element. Something like:

Code: Select all

##somesite.com##div[id="a_line"]b

... where this should take out a "b" that follows a "div" with an id of "a_line"

... and no one here is better at that than Sheepy

I'm slowly grasping it and when I come across something similar and can't do it, I know where to come ;)
