Removing text from a page using Javascript

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Nov 13.2015

Hi everyone,

Basically, I have a page that is pulls in various data elements which I don’t have access to edit, which also means I do not have access to edit the HTML.

What I do have access/ability to edit/create are stylesheets and javascript.

Here is the snip-it of code I’m looking to edit:

<td style=”width: 22em; font-size: .9em; color: #000000;”>
Progress: 0%
<br />
Registrations: 0
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Goal: 5000
</td>

What I don’t want displayed is ‘Registrations: 0’

Is there a javascript that can be created to find the words ‘Registration: 0’ and either remove it from the HTML or hide it with a css style such as display:none?

Any help would be much appreciated.

How will you include

the JavaScript ?

@sierraauthorNov 13.2015 — It's very compartmentalized. Somewhat like a CMS. It has a block I can add Javascript and CSS. I can edit some of the HTML, but this particular piece is being brought in as a piece of session tag, so I want some but not all of this piece.

There is your solution,

where it is "brought in"

you can edit it before

it is applied to the

html.

@SempervivumNov 13.2015 — I encountered a similar task some days before. I'm quite shure that the words like 'Registration: 0' you want to delete are in the visible Text, not inside HTML tags? Then this can be done quite easily: Scan all text nodes as described here:

https://api.jquery.com/contents/

Wrap the text in span tags. This enables you to access the text e. g. by jQuery text() and modify it by e. g.:
ele.text(ele.text().replace('Registration: 0', ''));

@xelawhoNov 13.2015 — Will registrations only ever be zero? And will that text only ever be within td tags? Seems to me like you could refine your approach a little here.
