Hiding Live Calendar’s Irritating Advert
Ads don’t usually bother me, but when they’re not made distinct from the website they’re hosted on it annoys me to the point in which I must take action, to maintain my sanity.
Take the new Live Calendar Web UI, for example. The top ad is guaranteed to steal your glance at least every few seconds, disrupting your workflow and ultimately instilling a sense of hate. Using Live Calendar for more than a few minutes is nearly impossible, at least for me.
Oh hai, irritating ad!
Thankfully, the Live Calendar team writes neat code, so you can easily hide it while you get your business done. Simply cut and paste the following one-liner into your favorite browser’s address bar and presto. You just increased the lifespan of your eyeballs by another 10 years*.
javascript:(function(){parent.frames[2].document.getElementById('CalendarAdsTopContainer')
.style.display='none';}())

I didn’t even see the ad when I first came here here XD. I love Ad-Block.
Excellent tip!
Many thanks.
Nice work!
Is there any way to make it permanently disappear and getting back the space at the top it uses up?
That is sweet, thanks! If only this did this every time I went there…
The ad was what caught my eye first, so annoying.
It’s a shame that they create such a nice looking page, with a header that is obviously designed to sit at the top of the page, and then ruin the whole thing with an enormous advert.
Thanks Raf!!! The ad was not well integrated into the page…they’ll need to work on this.
For permanent removal (and hiding the space) stick this in your user css file (works on Opera, but I believe userchrome.css or similar does the same for firefox):
div[id*="CalendarAds"]{display:none !important}
@v: Great tip, totally forgot about that.
@Matt Sharpe, surilamin: Agreed.
Awesome! I think the Live Calendar UI is nice-looking but I hate that the banner ad at the top of the page sort of “pushes down” the calender when I have IE8’s Favorites Bar enabled, so I have to scroll down a bit.
Thanks!
Just use Firefox + AdBlock Plus.
It’s great!
