How to select text node in a div

[johnman]

I have this :

Code: Select all

<div class="foo">
    <h3>Title</h3>
    Some text I want to block it
    <div class="subfoo">Some other text I dont want to block it</div>
</div>

Is it possible to select only text node ?

Adblockers use CSS to hide elements on the page and, as far as I'm aware of, you cannot select or apply styles to text nodes.

Hello,
Is there any other way to do this, or i just cant block it anyway?

Adblock used to be very useful, But this time it is just useless. Even nobody answer me in this forum. Why dont you use xpath /instead of this? It can do this shit.

Similar to CSS, XPath can select elements on the page. For hiding those, however, you still need CSS styles, which cannot be applied to text nodes.

That being said, there's a proposal for adding a snippet that would allow you to create custom filters to either remove such text nodes from the page or to wrap them inside HTML elements and hide those ones instead (see core#240).
