Thank you very much for mentioning this tool. A first glance it seems
this tool is just too wonderful, it is just designed to solve problems
like mine. However after I try it what I worry most happened:

Unfortunately it does. The output HTML no longer work with the stupid
drag-and-drop-html-edit-for-idiot my "web design guy" is using. I am in
position of delivering a signed contract, not in evaluating if a
contract can be done, this situation means I cannot take html-tool as an
option. But I will well keep it in mind to use when feasible!
As time is tight I guess I just use the most turbulent solution: adding
the following to all HTML pages:
<style type="text/css">
.advertisement {
display: none;
}
</style>
It is a silly solution that punishes web visitor for web designer's
fault. But on the other hand, I think the web designer who made the junk
HTML really should not enjoy too much help from me. Maybe I just let it
go this way.
