It doesn't work in Opera, even if the page shows a combo of useful and useless content.

Sorry guys, it looks like many Experts-Exchange pages do not have content on them anymore unless you login, not all of them are like that though. They only partially locked down Experts-Exchange so that you cannot access their content without being a member. Look forward to fewer and fewer Experts-Exchange results in Google as a result. Good riddance!

Thanks for the script. I have been using it for a little while and it has been really helpful. One of the things that I don't like is that the parts of the page are removed after rendering (this is a Greasemonkey limitation). To get around this issue, I decided to try to use Adblock Plus with the Element Hiding Helper to do something similar. After a minute or two, I have it hiding the sections I don't want to see, plus it appears to occur before the rendering (it definitely seems that way), so the page actually loads faster now. Just in case anyone is interested, here are my element hiding rules:

experts-exchange.com#DIV(class=ontopBanner) experts-exchange.com#A(class=squareSignUp squareSignUpWide) experts-exchange.com#A(href=https://secure.experts-exchange.com/register.jsp?rsid=20&srid=jXdLOGtPKKF4Hvj9vtL%2F5g%3D%3D&redirectURL=%2FProgramming%2FLanguages%2FScripting%2FJavaScript%2FQ_20636704.html&qpid=8&cid=554) experts-exchange.com#DIV(class=s sectionFour shFFF5 sgray expGray allZonesMain taSearchRow) experts-exchange.com#DIV(class=hasMouseOver)

Thanks, this is a useful script. I've modified my own copy to also hiding the signup link and the questions stats:

// Kill the signup link $x("//a[@class[contains(.,'squareSignUp')]]",document)[0].style.display="none"

// Kill the "Question Stats" section $x("//div[@class[contains(.,'qStats')]]",document)[0].style.display="none"

The script needs to basically remove the top half of the experts exchange page now, so I can make it do that easily.

does this mean no more updates then ?

I think less and less I'm updating this script because I want the privilege to view experts exchange pages, and more because I want them to change their evil ways.

Umm what the hell?

The problem was that it WASN'T scrambled after the jump, and the code scrambled the comment!

Shit :O

They now use a mix of scrambled and unscrambled comments to combat these decoders.

Check for yourself:

Thanks for this, I've used it for a long time.

However, they've very recently modified the site's comment scrambling. It is still rot13 above the jump (the huge box full of links) so the decoder still works there, but after the jump it uses another scheme. :-/

Here's code to descramble the text:
function rot13(s)
{
var r='';
for (var i=0, len=s.length; i<len>
{
c = s.charCodeAt(i);

if ((c >= 65 && c <= 77) || (c >= 97 && c <= 109))
{
c = s.charCodeAt(i) + 13;
}
else if ((c >= 78 && c <= 90) || (c >= 110 && c <= 122))
{
c = s.charCodeAt(i) - 13;
}
r += String.fromCharCode(c);
}
return r;
}

a=document.getElementsByTagName('div')
for(i=0;i
{
if (a[i].className == 'answerBody quoted')
{
a[i].innerHTML = rot13(a[i].innerHTML).replace(/<oe />
}
}

Why unblur the comments ?
When a site is trying to get you to pay for the effort of voluntairy "experts", it's better to use the "remove experts-exchange from google" script :-)
Just use www.thescripts.com instead. A lot of EE experts have moved to there (like me) and that site is really free !
