Bookmarklet to remove the goddamed "pick your location" landing dialog from bio-rad.com
Bio-rad.com has one of those intensely aggravating landing dialogs that demands
to know where you are so it can forcibly remove you from what you're trying to
view, and perhaps gouge you for more money.
This is annoying, invasive and generally not-cool, so here's a little
bookmarklet to remove the dialog and get on with things.
To use, just copy the below code into a new bookmark using your browser's
bookmark manager. Don't omit the "javascript:" bit or the final empty
parentheses: "()".
javascript:(function(){%24(%22%23overlaydialog1%22).remove()%3B%24(%22%23overlay-shadow%22).remove()%3B%24(%22%23TB_overlay%22).remove()%3B%24(%22%23TB_window%22).remove()})()
(I tried to make this a "drag this link to your bookmarks" affair but no dice
on gist, it doesn't let you drag things..)
Original unquoted JS code:
javascript:(function(){
$("#overlaydialog1").remove(); /* Bio-rad */
$("#overlay-shadow").remove(); /* Bio-rad */
$("#TB_overlay").remove(); /* Eurofins */
$("#TB_window").remove(); /* Eurofins */
})()
