title: jquery .remove() not working as expected
body: <p>I'm simply trying to remove the footer from my home page.</p>
  
  <pre><code>if (OBJECT.Homepage.isHomePage == true){
      jQuery('footer').remove();
  }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It seems the .remove() is doing more of a display: none; than actually removing the node from the DOM. When I view the page source the footer still exists - and although it is not displaying the content, there is a large vertical scroll, as if the height of footer is still applying.</p>
  
  <p>I thought it possibly had to do with using the footer tag instead of #footer, but when I did that I had the same results.</p>
