Oct 30, 2008 4:42am JoeSimmons Script's Author	I'm keeping mine the simple, fast css way. Edit: Decided to delete the ads instead of hide them because the ads will refresh over time and even though they can't be seen, they would still waste bandwidth.

On paper, I bet there is slight difference in execution times, as the `getElementsByTagName` function has to loop through the three `<tr>` elements before returning the array. This would be possibly quicker, as it uses no methods to identify the `<tr>` element, but rather pre-defined properties: `var tr = document.getElementById('gametable').childNodes[1].childNodes[0]; tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);`

That's a slow method to begin with. All I simply did was add a css rule (quick and effective) I could make the script just one simple line of code but I made the script so it works on Firefox, or Opera. It works faster than you probably think on Firefox because at first run, it stores the css in a var then checks to see if GM_addStyle is available, if so, it uses that (most people will use Firefox for this so it will be fast) Alternatively, it checks to see if addStyle exists, then if not, it creates it's own function to work on any browser and adds the css to the page. There's also a stylish script that I made that is so fast you never see the ads once (here)

Jagex has put the ads in the first `<tr>` element of the 'gametable', so you can do this to completely wipe the top section out: `var tr = document.getElementById('gametable').getElementsByTagName('tr')[0]; tr.parentNode.removeChild(tr);` Also, have a look at my 'RuneScape Assist' script and let me know what you think. I need some feedback to see how I can add and improve to it.
