Remove an item from the drop down menu

Question

I want to remove BOX from the list:

In my .js file I use:

$('#context_external_tools_select li:contains("BOX")').remove();

It works in the console but it does not work after I upload the JavaScript to the server. By the way, it is Canvas LMS.

Answer 1

Wrap it in document.ready

$(document).ready(function () {
    $('#context_external_tools_select li:contains("BOX")').remove();
});

Most likely the reason this works in the console is you're executing the code after the DOM has fully loaded. If this doesn't work with document.ready, you need to check your console for errors.
