In summary, you can disable a JavaScript file that is connected to your page externally...
Using DOM to Remove Script
One of the simple methods for disabling a JavaScript file...
<script>
var scriptTags = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
for (var i = 0; i < scriptTags.length; i++) {
if (scriptTags[i].src.includes('external-file.js')) {
scriptTags[i].parentNode.removeChild(scriptTags[i]);
}
}
</script>Line-by-Line Explanation of the Code
var scriptTags = document.getElementsByTagName('script');
This line collects all <script> tags in the HTML document.
for (var i = 0; i < scriptTags.length; i++)
A loop iterates through all existing scripts in the document.
if (scriptTags[i].src.includes('external-file.js'))
This checks whether the script's src contains the file name 'external-file.js'.
scriptTags[i].parentNode.removeChild(scriptTags[i])
If the condition is true, the script will be removed from the DOM.
