Why doesn't this element hiding filter work?

Post by Cypherpunks »

Tom's Hardware has some adverts near the top of every page wrapped in <div id="header-advert" class="clearfix">. (They currently say "Focus On: Internet Explorer 8 download contest")

So I tried to write a filter
tomshardware.com#div(id=header-advert)
... and it didn't get rid of the ad.
Further attempts:
tomshardware.com#div(id$=-advert)
tomshardware.com#div(header-advert)
#div(header-advert)
#div(id=header-advert)

none of these seem to actually do anything. What am I doing wrong?

Linux x86, unbranded Firefox (iceweasel) 3.0.11, AdBlock Plus 1.0.2

Debian bug, sorry for false report.

Oops, sorry, the problem is Debian bug 525938, NOT with Adblock Plus or Firefox proper.

My apologies.
