Using Firebug to delete stuff that appears around embedded Google Docs video

[Lex Alexander]

Our website has a video embedded on our Study-Abroad page that is hosted on Google Docs. Because it's hosted there, it has a lot of extraneous stuff around it, including a wide, light-gray border (see screen cap above). Is there any way to alter the iframe code and/or use Firebug to eliminate the extraneous stuff around the video, leaving only the video itself embedded? Thanks!

iframe code: <p><iframe height="640" src="https://docs.google.com/a/greensboro.edu/file/d/0B_r1FYzkTQ-IMFVoTVZwSHJ2aVU/edit" width="100%">Your browser does not support iframes.</iframe></p>

Firebug works on the client side and doesn't have access to the server-side scripts. To change the HTML of a website you need to have access to the server. See also our FAQ.

It could be nice new feature: having a tool/script that is applied on the page every time it loads. The script (auto executed by Firebug) could remove all the extraneous elements for you.

For now you could also take a look at Greasemonkey:
"Customize the way a web page displays or behaves, by using small bits of JavaScript."
