If the page is one the same domain as the parent you can use javascript to "hide" the div with that particular id. If they are from different domains you'll need to scrape the page using a server-side language (PHP, ASP, JSP, etc) in order to remove/hide the unwanted text.

Having said that, the site owner you are taking content from probably won't appreciate the removal of copyright/etc information and you may be looking at potential legality issues arising.

The best situation is where the site you are taking information from offers an rss feed or API for grabbing the information you want. That way there can be no question about whether you are stealing intellectual property or not. :)

the site is from some other domain
and there is no such issue of copyright and all
so kindly let me know how to do it

What language do you have access to?

html

html

Then it is not possible to do what you ask.

but my hosting server can support php, java and all

Usually discount hosts support one of the following (PHP, Java, ASP, etc)...I'm at a loss for how to help you since I'm assuming you said earlier you had html only.

You need a screenscraper script.

Check my posts here, I posted one for someone else not long ago.
