Hi David – That is the correct way to implement jQuery. Generally I prefer to have my source files in the _layouts directory, but I think the way you’ve implemented it would work. A couple things to try:

1) In your script tags in your masterpage, add a leading / to the src attribute;
2) Make sure you’ve replaced in my sample above with the appropriate div that you’d like to remove the s from. this includes removing the tags.

I guess the carrots are causing my copy and pasting problems. Once again, the code I’m using is:

script type=”text/javascript” src=”Style Library/en-us/CustomStyles/JS/jquery-1.4.2.min.js”/script

script type=”text/javascript” src=”Style Library/en-us/CustomStyles/JS/remove_space.js”/script

Hello,
I’m also trying to hide the empty divs on my Sharepoint 2007 site. However, I’m not very familiar with JQuery or Javascript.
I’ve copied your script and saved it in a file called remove_spaces.js. I’m also calling in a JQuery library. I’m calling both of these files in within the head of my master page like this:

Is this the correct way to apply JQuery? I think I’m missing a step or two.
Thanks,
David
