Select all SPAN elements which contain a "foobar" property? If possible with jQuery

[pstein]

How can I select all SPAN elements in current webpage which contain a property "foobar"?

The assigned value is unimportant.

So elements like the following should be matched:

<span aaa="bbb" foobar="23452345" .....>...</span>

I tried:

$('span[foobar^=""]').remove();

but it didn't work

That will look for attribute with empty string value.

Try

$('span').attr('foobar').remove();

Your solution is NOT working.

Lets see a simplified example:

https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-take-screenshots-on-android-when-the-app-doesnt-allow-it/

I want to get rid of an advertising block on the right (see attached snapshot). which starts with:

<div id="K84X2hsVZN" data-ub-carousel="true" 

Therefor I setup a Greasemonkey script like

// ==UserScript==
// @name            ChangeLayoutMakeuseof
// @namespace       nsChangeLayoutMakeuseof
// @description     Change Layout makeuseof.com
// @match           https://*.makeuseof.com/*
// @exclude-match   https://*.makeuseof.com/
// @exclude-match   https://*.makeuseof.com/category/*
// @version         2.14.1
// @grant           GM_addStyle
// @require         http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js
// ==/UserScript==

$('div').attr('data-ub-carousel').remove();

setTimeout(function(){

$('div').attr('data-ub-carousel').remove();

  }, 5000);

After adding the user script and reloading the webpage, the ad persist.

Any other suggestion?

As it is a carousel it probably is looping to add a new ad at a set time. So it might be better to hide than remove. As your script only runs once after 5sec it catch first one only, unless you use setInterval then it will repeat every 5 sec. To reduce repeating loops check this element exists by checking length.
