On BBC articles, such as this one, there is a DOM element with class story-body, deep in the DOM chain.
I want to hide all DOM element "outside" of this (unique) DOM element. The problem is that I can't just do
$('*').hide();
$('.story-body');
because I need to make sure to keep the parents, grand-parents, etc. of story-body. I also can't do
$('*').hide();
var current = $('.story-body').show();
while(current = current.parent()) {
current.show();
}
because that would simply show everything.
Any suggestions?
