Question

We use hosted Trac.
It uses Genshi templates.
I think we can submit our own site.html.
We want to get rid of Trac standard footer.
What is the most elegant way of doing that?

I suspect that the answer is in some nice Genshi trick.
I don’t know Genshi nor Trac’s additions to it.
I tried couple of things on a hunch, none worked.

I tried css

 <style type="text/css">
     #footer 
     {
         visibility:hidden;
     }
 </style>

That is ok, unless you want to use your own footer (called “#sitefooter”).
This one comes after “#footer”, and hiding footer leaves an ugly white space.

Then I tried jquery:

<script>
 jQuery(document).ready(function($) { $("#footer").text(''); });
</script>

This is fine yet I am not sure how wide support for jquery really is.

I don’t have a recent copy of trac on me at present to poke into as far as templates go, but for CSS, you want to try

display: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;

instead of

visibility:hidden;

visibility hidden items still take up space.
