jQuery remove div by ID on load

rated 0 times [ 119] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 16942 / 11 Years ago, thu, july 4, 2013, 12:00:00

I'm trying to remove an entire div on page load. Currently I'm trying to use:

$(document).ready(function(){    

    $(#removeme).remove();

});

with the HTML

<div id=removeme>If JS enabled remove this!</div>

I've been searching for hours, using many variations including getElementById. No luck.

Javascript/jQuery aren't languages I use often.

All help is appreciated. Thanks!

Edit: Fixed, page I was adding it to was having some issues (another dev built it). I put the code into an existing JS file instead and it works. Thank you all.

The code you are showing in your question works, as proven by @barmar :

If it doesn't work for you, it is most likely because you have an error in your Javascript before you reach the code displayed here. Also, ensure that you have included Jquery before-hand.

To find where previous errors could have happened, you can look inside your Javascript console. Here is a question where it is described where to find your console on most browsers :

What is console.log and how do I use it?

If you don't want to use the console, you can put alerts in your Javascript code until you find where they stop displaying.
