copied!<h3>CSS Solution</h3> <p>If you want to disable the effect of multiple <code><br></code> on the page, you can do it by CSS without using JavaScript:</p> <pre><code>br + br { display: none; } </code></pre> <ul> <li>Check the <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/ahMMv/" rel="noreferrer">jsFiddle demo</a>.</li> </ul> <p>However, this method is ideal when you are working with tags, something like this:</p> <pre><code><div>Text</div><br /><br /><br /> <div>Text</div><br /><br /><br /> <div>Text</div><br /><br /><br /> </code></pre> <p>In other cases, like this:</p> <pre><code>Hello World<br /> <br /> Hello World<br /> <br /> Hello World<br /> <br /> </code></pre> <p><strong>It will fail</strong> (as CSS passes text nodes). Instead, use a JavaScript solution.</p> <hr /> <h3>JavaScript Solution</h3> <pre><code>// It's better to wait for document ready instead of window.onload(). window.onload = function () { // Get all `br` tags, defined needed variables var br = document.getElementsByTagName('br'), l = br.length, i = 0, nextelem, elemname, include; // Loop through tags for (i; i < l - 1; i++) { // This flag indentify we should hide the next element or not include = false; // Getting next element nextelem = br[i].nextSibling; // Getting element name elemname = nextelem.nodeName.toLowerCase(); // If element name is `br`, set the flag as true. if (elemname == 'br') { include = true; } // If element name is `#text`, we face text node else if (elemname == '#text') { // If text node is only white space, we must pass it. // This is because of something like this: `<br /> <br />` if (! nextelem.data.replace(/\s+/g, '').length) { nextelem = br[i+1]; include = true; } } // If the element is flagged as true, hide it if (include) { nextelem.style.display = 'none'; } } }; </code></pre> <ul> <li>Check the <a href="http://jsfiddle.net/ahMMv/31/" rel="noreferrer">jsFiddle demo</a>.</li> </ul>
